Often times, we're tricked into thinking we're living the American Dream. We do what we're told is the path to success. We work hard to get good grades, go to college, and then attain our dream job and start working up the corporate ladder. Soon thereafter, we follow the rules and get married, have 2.5 kids, nice cars, and a home in the suburbs.
Dr. Motil shares with us his journey into what he thought was living the American Dream, but as it turns out, he was doing anything but that. While the described American Dream above might work for many, there are just as many that aren't satisfied with living an average life.
Dr. Motil realized, time and time again, that he suffered from burnout and desired more than what he thought was the American Dream. Dr. Motil bears his heart and soul and shares some dark periods in his life with the notion that hopefully his words can help inspire others to find the light and find a solution to their own personal burnout.
Life is too darned short not do be doing something where you have a passion and a desire to serve others. Dr. Motil says we need to dig deep and find our "why" and doing so will help in determining our path and purpose in life. Dr. Motil is authentic and genuine and truly believes in service to others, which is what this book is all about.
Thank you Dr. Motil for sharing your experience and providing an inspiration to others.
