Book excerpt: Something is living inside each of us, but it is not our true selves. It is a version of us we created in our youth to protect our vulnerable inner beings from the threats of the outside world. It is a version of us we are feeding and strengthening every single day... but we don't realize we are doing it. It spends all its time and energy creating a world of deception around us. A world so authentic and addicting that we have forgotten how to find our way back home. A world where we move mountains to keep this being alive while we willingly neglect our true inner selves, leaving them to starve. Our egos are arguably the most destructive forces on the planet. If we look at many of the major issues that are plaguing us in our modern context, you can most certainly trace their roots back to peoples' egos and our blind obedience to this internal master driving our behavior. Our egos limit us in so many ways. They distract us from enjoying the present moment by ensuring we are always ruminating on the past or anxiously fearing the future. They limit our performance by injecting fear into our thoughts at the moments we need a clear head. They decimate our relationships by seeking self-aggrandizement instead of authentic connections. Therefore, we must ask ourselves the following questions: 1. Am I awake to the deceptions of my self-generated ego?2. Do I recognize the reality I am experiencing is a fictional world created to ensure my ego survives and thrives? I have been on a 11-year journey to confront my ego and remove its stranglehold over my life. This book reveals major pieces of that journey in a unique way. We will start by attaching a 365-pound bundle to me and jumping it out of a plane at 13,000 feet; we will discover hidden signposts that nudged me towards the path that leads back home; we will uncover the brutal 2200-mile Appalachian Trail arena that pitted me against my ego for hours, days, weeks, and months on end, showcasing just how intertwined and deceptive my ego was inside my life; and much, much, more. I created this book to help shake more humans awake and rob more egos of the power they hold over the world we are living in. This book is for those who realize something is hiding underneath the surface of their everyday experience. It is a book for those desiring to find their path back home.
