Within each of us, right now, is everything we need to thrive in the face of complexity and change. We just have to decide whether or not we are willing to do the work, whether or not we are willing to lead a more daring life.

In this collection, David Berry invites us to use his own emerging leadership story to imagine and inspire the evolution of our own. From getting lost in the woods, to gliding above the Pacific Ocean; from stumbling into Henry Kissinger to “interviewing” Bill Walton; from the tentative first steps of a new business to the fight to claim his own creative voice, David uses his own steps and mis-steps, and his evolving perspective along the way, to paint a compelling picture of the leadership we need now.

“A More Daring Life” is a call to deepen understanding, strengthen connection and commit to the exploration necessary to shake off the seduction of the status quo. It is a personal account of the bumpy ride that awaits all who choose to lead at the crossroads of change.
