About Breaking Average

From the publisher's feed

A fully lived and understood life can only be achieved by those who choose to break average. If you are too careful, too cautious, or even too comfortable, then you will likely fall short of reaching your potential.  In other words, choosing average, which is default living, will keep you from being your best.
