The stories from others who have contributed and the advice from the authors are engaging, thought-provoking, and worth contemplation if you want to live a heartfelt life driven by your dreams."". Cynthia Covey Haller, Author of Live Life in Crescendo ""The Precipice of Life is one of those books that inspires you to go out and conquer your fears, to move beyond the obstacles that might be holding you back, but most importantly, to mold you as the leader that you need to become to climb a mountain or guide your organization to success. Scott Jeffrey Miller, Multi-Bestselling Author of the Master Mentors Series ""The Precipice of Life is a must-read for anyone hoping to access the incredible level of commitment, curiosity, leadership, and humility required to step into the unknown and take on new challenges, and reach higher summits. Filled with inspiring stories, insights, and practical tools, you will learn how to cultivate the awareness, skills, and inner resources in support of living a full life. Amy Jen Su, Author of The Leader You Want to Be: Five Essential Principles for Bringing Out Your Best Self ""The precipice of life is a magical place; it transforms the willing soul who--looking beyond the safety of the known--realizes what it has been created to be--awaits it just over the edge. This is the 'fear-busting' message that Bo Parfet shares with his readers, even as he invites them to discover its liberating truth for themselves."" Guy Finley, Bestselling Author of Letting Go ""What a great read, thank you! A real page-turner, but when I got to chapter 8 (How to Claim Happiness), I slowed down and savored every morsel. The author answers the Ultimate Question and backs it up with life-changing quotations from Aristotle, Rumi, and other greats while offering practical advice for happiness that can be achieved every day.
