Synopsis

How do we learn to enlarge our comfort zones rather than lapsing into a life of habit? How do we negotiate the awkward stage of trying something new and learn to operate there with success? This book is the story of ten years of a challenging, surprising, and deeply satisfying career that gave the author the repeated opportunity to create an expanded comfort zone. It starts with a life falling apart around the age of 40, and describes the happy discoveries this allowed. "Enlarging Our Comfort Zones" illustrates the process of growth, which can start in many ways and take many forms. In the words of the dedication, the author wants to celebrate “clients and friends who led him into new worlds” and readers who risk enlarging their own comfort zones.
