About this title

Synopsis

UNCOMMODiFiED. It's a book, and it's a workbook. It's a provocative and practical guide to STANDiNG UP & STANDiNG OUT in a crowded world.

If UNCOMMODiFiED is just a book you read, you missed the point. If it is just a chat with a whiskey-drinking, cigar and pipe-smoking kind of guy, even a rather uncomfortable chat at times that will not be good enough. If it is just a candid conversation between you, me and my UNCOMMODiFiED mentors that stays on the pages of this book, that will not make any difference in your life. To be UNCOMMODiFiED, day-to-day, you must take the ideas, strategies, and examples you read and initiate positive and provocative actions that release the best version of yourself, the unique Homo sapien you are designed to be. 

Being run of the mill. Being ordinary. Being mundane. Not an option for me. And, as you will discover, these traits are not options for the UNCOMMODiFiED provocateurs whom you will meet on your journey with me. Along the way, you will encounter some of the people who have caught my attention over the years in both mystical and magical ways. They are inspiringly different, positively provocative, utterly unique, and outstanding in their approaches to possibilities and problems, how they lead and work, and how they live their lives. They stand apart in the best, most positive ways, in ways that can be transformational for all of us. They are beckoning all of us to NOT surrender our uniqueness and NOT give into homogeneity because they know that this surrender will ultimately and utterly infuse our veins with the anesthetizing power of sameness.
