Review
“Erik Seversen is the real deal, and his world-traveling lifestyle is inspiring, to say the least. In Ordinary to Extraordinary, Erik takes you on an adventure from the first page as he shares his real-life tales of amazing encounters. Through powerful storytelling, Erik demonstrates why we shouldn’t be afraid to take chances and why we should embrace the power of moments. Erik is living the life of his dreams, and in Ordinary to Extraordinary, he gives the blueprint on how you too can live an extraordinary lifestyle. It’s time we follow Erik’s lead and stop trying to fit in and do something extraordinary!”
— Jesse Cole, International Speaker, host of Business Done Differently, and author of Find Your Yellow Tux
“Erik provides numerous stories of adventures he’s been on and makes readers reflect with questions at the end of each story. I believe we can change our lives by asking ourselves the right questions, and Erik offers a ton of them. This book gives you the opportunity to learn powerful lessons based on Erik’s travels across the globe and helps others go from ordinary to extraordinary.”
— Marc Guberti, Public Speaker, host of Breakthrough Success, and author of Content Marketing Secrets
“From the first page, Erik got me. I was captured by his writing before even knowing what his book was about. He keeps you reading into the night, but Erik’s book is more than just entertaining. It transmits an emotional feeling that everything you want to achieve is possible. Ordinary to Extraordinary shows you the many ways we all are extraordinary. This book causes you to reflect on life and meaning. I really enjoyed reading Ordinary to Extraordinary, and I’m sure you will too.”
— Claudia Scheffler-Perrone, Owner of Killer Press, Keynote Speaker, Journalist
“I loved this book, as it’s not your normal self-help, do this, do that type. These are autobiographical stories of life-changing moments in Erik’s life, written like a novel. Characters, storylines, excitement, and even .... don’t tell the kids .... naughty stuff. I planned to read this book in one sitting, but upon starting halfway through at “Virginity”, I felt drawn to read this chapter multiple times .... go you Erik you bad boy!!! If you are looking for a change in your life and don’t know where to turn then this is the place. Seize the moment by buying this book. Then seize every moment in your life from now on .... You will thank Erik as you see your life become the adventure you hoped it would. I’m off to find out where Sabine is now .... anyone seen my French Guide Book?”
— David Ralph, Founder of internationally syndicated podcast Join Up Dots and Podcasters Mastery Coaching
“Seversen takes the reader on adventure after adventure around the planet! Fellow world-travelers, homebodies, and purpose seekers will be inspired to join the adventure and discover their own transcendental moments, inspired from the true-life tales in this book.”
— Derek Champagne, CEO of The Artist Evolution and bestselling author of Don’t Buy a Duck
“Erik Seversen is your modern-day adventurer. In Ordinary to Extraordinary, Erik magically transports you to his many adventurous locations. You vicariously experience the world through his eyes and find anticipation in every page. The lingering excitement you feel helps you answer the poignant questions he asks at the end of each chapter to help you create your own daily adventures.”
— James Miller, host of the nationally broadcasted and syndicated radio show: James Miller
