Have you bought into the belief that the workweek is something to dread?
Take Back Monday profiles 20 people who have custom built a life they love. Get an inside look into each of their lives and discover what living a dream really looks like—from the fears and setbacks to the freedom and fulfillment. You’ll learn that there is no cookie cutter approach to happiness, but with some tenacity, vision, and hard work you can finally stop living for the weekend.
You have the power to love your life—every day of the week.

PRAISE FOR TAKE BACK MONDAY:

“Take Back Monday is a delightful, inspiring collection of stories about everyday people who found the courage to cast off the shackles of society’s expectations. The book’s beauty stems from the diversity of the 20 individuals it profiles—each who candidly shares his or her quest to answer the question, “What do you want to do with your life?” No two people’s answers are identical, though every one of their journeys begins with the same leap of faith into the unknown. If you’ve ever been curious about how that leap feels—the simultaneous fear and exhilaration of it—read this book!” – Yitka Winn

“For someone who has been contemplating my work for a long time, Take Back Monday was a breath of fresh air. I loved being able to read so many unique perspectives on what it means to live your dreams. I especially admire the honesty about fear, failure, and how to get back up after set backs. This was just the book I needed to fuel my own passion and take the next step. Thank you!” -Ben Taggart

Mondays are Mine!

When you do what you love, every day is Friday!

This book is so inspiring! As a mother of three who both works outside of the home full time and at home as an entrepreneur, I really look forward to the weekends. I don't dread Mondays because I enjoy my day job, but all the time I feel the pull of my side business more and more. Mondays mean I have to spend time, once again, living on someone else's schedule and working to support someone else's dream.

Reading the stories of others who took a chance at leaving behind security and stability to live a vibrant life doing what they loved (and finding security and stability all the same) was just what I needed as I make critical decisions for my future.

So encouraging and inspiring!

It was so encouraging to hear stories from people who've gone before and done the hard work of proving you can break away from society's norms and actually live the life you want to live. If you want to quite your 9-5 job and do work that actually fulfills you, it IS possible! These 20 stories are all so unique and yet have some very similar threads that showed me the underlying thought processes required to finally break free. Highly recommended!

The personal stories in Take Back Monday will motivate you to quit living a life that might be "safe", but totally uninspiring. It would be sad to die with a long list of dreams unfulfilled. Why settle for mediocrity day in and day out when you could choose a life that makes your soul sing?
