The lifestyle paradigm enshrined in the Western world has created a culture of mediocrity. Not only is everybody expected to “conform” and accept having an average (aka, mediocre) life, but apathy has crept into nearly every area of life.
This book presents a different way of looking at life. If you’ve been feeling like you don’t belong in the mainstream, feel like you’re trapped in “The Matrix”, then you should read this book. Containing practical advice from somebody that has actually broken out of the rat race, Jassen will show you how to break out of your cubicle and begin living a life beyond mediocrity.
