Today, I’m going to tell you about my latest book project: Experience: the Revolution.

This will be my second book and the pre-sale campaign is on Publishizer. My first book, Superconductors, was also launched through Publishizer, a crowdfunding literary agency.

Experience the Revolution is about leadership lessons taken from transformative experiences. I was encouraged by one of my coaches that I need to be fighting for something in this book.

The things I’m fighting for are threefold:

1. the need to build leadership qualities through lived experience;
2. the need to embrace our uniqueness and unconventional self-actualization process; and
3. the need for a new breed of leadership that is going to solve humanity’s greatest problems.

This book is thus about how we can become the new leader.

I have been experimenting with these areas in my own life through traveling around the world, doing psychedelics, week-long fasts, meditation, yoga, silent retreats, visiting remote tribes, vision quests, and festivals. There are so many people like me who are unsure how to effect the causes that are important to them. It will also be about empowering people who have had transformative experiences to translate those experiences into leadership skills.

I would really like to create this as a movement, a place where we can all share our stories of transformation. I will then look at all this information as a large data set to try to understand this nascent cultural movement. I will also look at how people are going through their heroes’ journeys, their transformative experiences, and how these journeys and experiences impact culture and the economy. I think the most important piece of this book, now more than ever, is to encourage people to go out, to live phenomenal experiences, and to delve into what these experiences can teach us about ourselves, especially as technology makes it ever easier to stay secluded and sheltered within the walls of ours homes.

We are going to use content from many of this podcast’s interviews for the book and a research team will also be assisting. I really expect and hope that this will be a globally influential book.

If this sounds like something you’re interested in, if you’ve had a transformative experience, if you want to be a leader, or if you want to learn how to choose experiences which will help you develop as a leader, I would love for you to check out the book. Your pre-orders on Publishizer will help Experience the Revolution get picked up by a major publisher and insure its success.

This book is nexus linking my many interests; it will bring together interviews from my podcast, act as a sort of sequel to my last book, and explore careers and leaderships in the future. I hope that you will be as interested to read it as I am to write it. I am so excited to create this movement so we can be effective leaders and tackle humanity’s  greatest challenges.
