Caution: This is a book about purpose. Do this work and it will change the way you live, love, parent, and lead. However, you will not be able to forget, block, or unlearn your purpose, and trying to walk away from the reason you're here on this earth may cause anxiety, resentment, confusion, self-doubt, and persistent, low-grade feelings of 'what in the hell am I doing?' Once you live your purpose, you can't unlive it.
