A Field Guide to Leaving the Corner Office Without Losing Your Mind, Finding Work That Works, and Occasionally Finding the Right Bus.
From Chapter 1: "Let's Circle Back" — the moment everything changed.
"I was standing in a field in Croatia at 2AM, holding a passport and a flip-flop, wondering how I got here. Not in the existential sense — I knew exactly how I got here. I'd missed the last bus because I was checking email from a client who would forget my name by Friday. The question was why I was still checking email at all."
