Being extraordinary is not a single element. It cannot be distilled down to one thing. However, we’re told that being a success is a magical thing that happens and a place that we’ll arrive. The hard part is that this long held truth is the biggest lie.

The fact is that the path that so many follow, the one society sells us on, will not lead to the promised land. The truth is, the route we’re all told to take may actually stick us in purgatory, without Dante or Virgil to guide us.

Extraordinary features interviews with extraordinary humans with some context as to why I find them so.
