In 2009, I quit my job as a 3D computer graphics artist working for a well-known computer gaming company. Two days later, I terminated my lease and began selling everything that wouldn't fit in my car. This was only the beginning.
A short time later, I began a multi-faceted project incorporating five of the things I was most passionate about: writing, photography, travel, adventure, and connecting with people.
This project would lead me to become the protagonist in a real-life choose-your-own-adventure where the internet would tell me where to go and what to do when I got there. I spent nearly 2 years criss-crossing the United States on an epic road trip covering over 60,000 miles.
Although living beyond my comfort zone was a planned part of my project, it was supposed to be fun. And some of it was. But it was also far more challenging than I ever expected in ways that I could never have anticipated. It changed my life, my relationships, and my view of the world.
In short, it changed everything.
When my cross country travels finally came to an end, my journey along the path less traveled continued. It is from this journey that I use real-life experiences as a foundation for learning and sharing life's lessons.

If the content in this book has as much of a positive impact on your life as I believe it has the potential to, it is my hope that you'll find it to be of a much greater value than the price you pay for it.
While I can't claim that this book will change your life for the better, I can promise you that if it doesn't, it isn't from a lack of effort on my part in trying to write a book that will.
Nothing in this volume has been included without considerable thought being given to the potential value it provides. While not every lesson within will be of interest or of relevance to you at the time you read it, it is likely that the contents of this book will take on new meanings and significance as you progress on your journey in life.
While the lessons within have added immense value to my life -- and I share them with the hope of adding value to yours -- my work is about presenting paths and opening doors. It is not about trying to convince anyone that any one way is better than another. Please adapt the contents of this book to whatever lifestyle suits you best on your journey.
And please know, that whatever direction your life leads you in from this moment forward, I'm happy that we were able to cross paths -- even if it was just this once. I sincerely wish you an amazing journey.
Sincerely, Zero Dean

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. NOT EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND YOUR JOURNEY. THAT'S FINE. IT'S NOT THEIR JOURNEY TO MAKE SENSE OF. IT'S YOURS. - Zero Dean*** THIS BOOK HAS NOT BEEN WATERED DOWN TO APPEAL TO THE MASSES *** It does not use gimmicks or profanity to sound edgy or as a manipulative tactic to get your attention. It does not exist to tell you things that you want to hear. This book does not involve magic or encourage wishful thinking. And it wasn't written for money or fame or to sell a million copies. This book was written to make a positive difference in people's lives. And like the lessons in this book, this book is the direct result of a journey along the path less traveled. This book isn't trying to copy other books' success by following in their footsteps or being just like them. And it is precisely because of all of these things that this book has the potential to help people in ways that other books have not. Lessons Learned from The Path Less Traveled Volume 1 represents nearly a decade of lessons that were all prompted by and learned from actual life experiences along the path less traveled. There is no filler here. From page 1 to page 350, everything in this book was written & included with the potential value it may add to reader's lives in mind. This book is packed with pages of encouragement, food for thought, reminders, and strategies to help readers cope with and overcome life's challenges. EXCERPTS & FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Anger and hate dig holes. Love and kindness move mountains. Choose your motivation wisely.Don't let your life goals fall victim to the allure of comfortable routines.Every time you change something unique about yourself in order to be just like someone else, a piece of the best part of you dies.You don't get over the fear of doing something by not doing it.If you want more kindness in the world, put some there.Healthy habits harbor happiness.

WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR. While this book is packed full of potentially life-changing lessons for men & women of all ages, it's not for everyone. This book is for those who are willing to keep an open mind, as well as think critically, while they read. It's for those who believe they can change, are willing to change, and can commit to keep trying to change no matter how difficult the path may appear. Because this book is for those who recognize that anything worth having is worth working for. And it's for those who understand that long-lasting change takes effort and action, not wishful thinking. Ultimately, this book is for those who already know -- or those who are willing to learn -- that the only thing that truly stands between the person they are and the person they want to be is themselves.
