Too often we feel like underdogs fighting a system that stacks the odds against us. We work hard, follow the rules, and dream of a better life.

So how do you break free from the drudgery and achieve more success on your own terms?

You hustle.

You hustle.

The secret lies in making manageable tweaks and placing small bets on pursuits that propel you from who you are today to the person you’re destined to become.

NYT bestselling author Patrick Vlaskovits, and Jonas Koffler have teamed up to teach you how to look at work and life through a new lens―one based on discovering projects you enjoy and the people and opportunities that support your talents, growth, income, and happiness.

You will learn to redefine hustle as the indirect path to success using powerful, often counterintuitive, advice, including:

• Why You Must Own Your Dreams, Not Rent Dreams from Others
• Ways to Manufacture Your Own Luck and “POP”
• How to Betray Yourself to Stay True to Yourself―to develop your potential
