When you imagine the next 10 years of your life, what do you see? If you are drawing a blank, breaking into a sweat, or visualizing a finish line but no course to get there, this is the book for you. Live Like Fiction gives you an original and provocative four-week roadmap to authoring your own life story, and a raft of surprising strategies to make it your reality.

Each of the 30 illustrated mini-chapters - one for each day of the month - builds on the one before it, offering relatable stories, cutting-edge research, tested tactics and thought-provoking exercises. Through this bootcamp you will learn the ENGAGE system, a six-step process for discovering what drives you and using it to succeed in your career: Explore you meaning (Day 1-5), Narrow your goals (Day 6-10), Generate a plan (Day 11-15), Anticipate roadblocks (Day 16-20), Gain endurance (Day 21-25) and Elevate yourself (Day 26-30).

Award-winning media strategist Francesco Marconi didn't just write the book on owning your success and creativity - he's lived it, as a storyteller, speaker and strategist at the Wall Street Journal and fellow at Columbia Journalism School. Now he layers the tricks of his trade on top of fresh scientific research to offer a compelling step by step approach to chart -- and accelerate -- your path to breakthrough personal fulfillment.

Blunt, insightful and practical, this is the playbook for the curious and inspired. It's a blueprint for leveraging storytelling to write your own narrative and find your path. A must for every ambitious graduate, job seeker, new hire - and anyone with a hunger to become the best version of themselves.
