When I started the journey in this book, I was an average Greg whose life revolved around a boring job and home. My ambition was to get a promotion, and my grandest worry was getting laid off.

I was running laps around a well-worn track of life - a big, dull, redundant circle that repeated itself every year with nothing changing beyond my age. But now, things were different. I stopped hoping for some miracle and decided to "do something about it." Within a year, I was going to snap out of my cubicle, travel through twenty countries, and meet hundreds of people. One day, I would party with a celebrity, and the next day give a speech to a hall of professionals. I would find love and lose it, witness birth, and rub elbows with death. Life would be gray and comfortable no longer, for I was determined to flirt with it, to get a powerful taste of its peaks and abysses.
