I can still remember the oily taste of cool metal on my tongue.

I was 25 years old and wanted to die. I just wanted the pain to go away.

I sat on the steps of my garage that day, a gun in my mouth, wallowing in a drunken haze of bitter, self-destructive hopelessness.

I’d had it all. But I’d screwed up everything.

All I’d ever wanted was to be amazing... outrageous... extraordinary.

I’d wanted to make a difference in the world.

And there was no denying that I’d already accomplished a lot.

By the time I was 22, I was known as “Boy Wonder” around Washington, D.C. circles – the CEO of a fast-growing company that was expanding up and down the East Coast and doing work all over the world.

I was married to a magnificent woman, had a beautiful son and lived in a house way too big for the three of us.

And to those who didn’t dig any deeper behind the facade of thousand-dollar suits and smooth answers, I seemed to have it all together.

But inside I was a mess of self-doubt and guilt. And I was tired.

Despite my obsessive compulsion for extreme sports and my tendency to work maniacal hours – often not coming home for days – I had lost my ability to bend the world to my will.

My marriage was in a million pieces. Broken. Busted. As horribly screwed up as you can imagine. And I felt all the jagged edges of the disaster.

I hadn’t been around for my wife, and so someone else had stepped in. For a while I was able to pretend that it wasn’t happening, that it didn’t matter to me.

But there is something cruelly crippling about knowing someone else has taken your place.

And that drove me mad.

I placed my finger on the trigger and begin to pull...

YOU DON’T NEED ANOTHER BOOK ON SUCCESS.

You don’t.

You already know almost everything you need to know about achieving success: Set goals. Work hard. Be persistent. And don’t give up until you get what you want. It’s all stuff you could probably repeat in your sleep.

And it’s something I know a little bit about...

But I’m not special.

I’m just an ordinary dude who did some pretty extraordinary things.

And achieved some outrageous success.

But this isn’t a book about your typical success-advice nonsense. It’s about the baggage between your ears that keeps making you fail.
