“I can’t think of a better guide for this than Taíno. He’s thought long and deep on the topic so you don’t have to. This book is the result. All change starts somewhere. Much of it starts small: you might find the situation and present challenges overwhelming, but you shouldn’t. Try things, learn, and try again. I’ve found it a huge help in re-finding myself in the chaos of life today.” —HECTOR HUGHES, co-founder of Unplugged
