Break Free: To Reboot With Confidence, Playfulness and Adaptibility
You were born with insatiable curiosity, wonder, and desire for adventure. As a young child, you played with passion and abandon, living fully in the moment and accepting failures as opportunities for discovery rather than faults. Life was a wondrous, evolving, and independent journey without a destination.
But in the process of growing up in a system of conformity and learned destinations, such as college degrees and a responsible career, you lost your need for that empowered independence. You were taught to simply do what you’re told, then sent out into the world to make of it what you will. Today, no matter what your age is, you have an opportunity to break free of this learned conformity, to rediscover your originality, and regain that ability to play and live fully in the now.

***MY HONEST REVIEW OF BREAK FREE***
These days of technological advances, everyone is falling
into the category of following the crowd, and losing their uniqueness. Without
individuality, we are losing the battle of separateness and distinction. The
author explains how and why this is happening in detail. He lists “power
zappers” and how to overcome them, and ways to reverse stagnation by making
changes. He also gives guidelines on how
to gain the power of independence.
This was an eye-opener for me. I know I am guilty of many of
the things he stated that are dragging me down, even though I don’t fully
embrace today’s lifestyles. I am now aware of my taken-for-granted daily
routines that are destructive mechanisms. I like that not only does the author
bring clarity to what is destroying our culture, but he explains how to
overcome and reverse it. I totally agree with his assessment that discovery
happens when people get out of the way of themselves.

From there he began teaching photography, became director of communication programs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and finished his career in education as chair and professor of the art department at the University of Memphis.
