FOR ALL THE CAGED BIRDS,

IT'S TIME TO LIVE FREE!

The New York Times Bestselling Author returns with his most thought-provoking book yet, in which he teaches you how you can LIVE FREE from unnecessary stress and anxiety to claim a happier more fulfilling life by learning to set your own expectations rather than accepting those imposed on you by culture, career, and relationships.

For most people, sadly, the answer is “no.” Life today has left us feeling anxious, stressed, and disconnected from ourselves and those we care about the most. It has caused us to feel like we’re not doing enough, earning enough, acquiring enough—like we’re not enough.

UNMANAGED EXPECTATIONS LEAD TO AN UNHAPPY LIFE.

You aren’t in as much control of your life as you think, the truth is… your expectations are running the show.

Expectations are the secret software running your life, controlling your mind, influencing your actions, disrupting your decisions, and hi-jacking your emotions.

Your disappointment with your life comes from what you think should have happened but didn’t.

Your discontent with your career is due to where you believed you would be by now but aren’t.

Your dissatisfaction with your relationships is because of what you feel they should do but don’t.

If this is you, don’t worry there is hope.

LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW

Have more time, more peace, and the courage to live your true life, rather than living for everyone else. Prepare to step into a whole new reality where you are happier, less judgmental, more hopeful—and totally free.
