Overview

Your twenties are your defining decade, the time in which you are setting the course for the rest of your life it. You don't want to look back later and realize you ended up somewhere you never intended to go in the first place. How do you block out all the lies, half-truths, and "supposed-to's" constantly assaulting you from articles, social media posts, and well-meaning friends and family? How do you find something real, something true, something infused with purpose and meaning?

Funny, vulnerable, and to the point, this book exposes the false beliefs that can derail your current happiness and future impact, like

- having big dreams is naïve
- success just happens
- everyone else is experiencing the success you were supposed to
- when you fail you're a failure
- and many more

This story-driven book shows you that you're not alone in your insecurities and second-guessing, then shows you how to replace the lies with the truth—that you can live a life of purpose, earn a good paycheck, leave a legacy, and have fun doing it.
