About this listen
What are the bounds of thought? And how do we know if an idea is completely insane, or just a paradigm change?
In this audiobook, we explore Insanity, Crazy, Strange, and Disruptive ideas, and just some thoughts and stories.
And what are disruptive ideas or ideas which break currently accepted paradigms?
My goal is for you, the listener, to expand your minds to think "outside of the box" and not immediately condemn or make fun of new ideas just because they sound weird or wacky. Who knows? These new ideas might actually change the world for the better.

When dealing with metaphysics and the paranormal, there are no degrees or certified experts. Each person writing on these subjects has developed their expertise through their experiences, personal research, and learning over many years.

You'll never see leadership the same way again after reading this book. These 15 commitments are a distillation of decades of work with CEOs and other leaders. They are radical or provocative for many. They have been game changers for us and for our clients. We trust they will be for you too. Our experience is that unconscious leadership is not sustainable. It won't work for you, your team, or your organization in the long term.

A very important book.
This book allows the reader to identify paradigms and through that understanding spot them as they are occurring. This understanding is most valuable in business and life.
