For some people, it’s a really big deal to feel like they’re in control. When life throws them curveballs (or worse), cue the anxiety or frustration.

For others, they spend quite a bit of energy trying to avoid complexity or surprises. They prefer life to happen in a predictable way, and like it when they can switch into autopilot mode.

But, reality doesn’t work either way.

In the wise words of my pal, Taylor Hughes, "Your life is not a puzzle to be solved, it is a mystery to enjoy!" Sometimes we need to be redirected to be able to see the wonder happening all around us. 

Taylor Hughes fell in love with the art of illusion when his parents bought him a magic kit for his 7th birthday. More than 30 years and 3,000 shows later, Taylor has become known for his signature style of Magic Storytelling. He is a favorite at Hollywood’s famed Magic Castle, a highly sought after Keynote Presenter and has a special on Amazon Prime called '“Chasing Wonder”.

Taylor’s new book, The Road to Wonder: Finding the Extra in Your Ordinary, is now available for pre-order. 

Taylor is married to his high school sweetheart Katie and they live in Southern California with their two daughters Madelyn and Kennedy.
