Author Todd Duncan challenges the status quo in search of a better, smarter way to work and live. Rejecting how-to formulas claiming to know the perfect balance between work and life, he argues that such a holy grail does not exist. Instead, he offers readers a solution of purposeful imbalance: the process of purposefully leaning toward work without sacrificing life and purposefully leaning toward life without damaging your career. Like the art of tightrope walking, the key to not falling is taking things one step at a time.Youve always believed that when youre at work, you should work hard, and when youre at home, you should play hard. Thats easy to say, but for a lot of people, its hard to do. Life on the Wire clears up the myth about the balanced life and shows readers how to rejoice in their imbalance. Featuring profiles of an entrepreneur, a bartender, and an accountant, among others, youll gain insights from people who struck out to find balance and had to overcome innumerable challenges. This book, endorsed by bestselling author and radio host Dave Ramsey, provides lessons that will help you live out a fulfilling career and work toward a satisfying life. Work-life balance may be a myth. But that doesnt have to be a bad thing. Life on the Wire explains that imbalance is naturalthe key is to make it purposeful.

CONTENTS

I n Life on the Wire, my friend Todd Duncan turns the world of balance upside down and inside out. The result is a totally refreshing, truly invigorating, and thoroughly convincing new formula for work-life success.

Truth be told, we are all on the wire. Havent you felt the pressure of performing without a net? Hasnt life dealt you tough choices? Have there been days you thought you might not even make it? If you are like me, then youve missed deadlines on important projects, tried in vain to deflect stress, experienced the agony of leaving home for work, and even the fear of leaving work for home!

Perhaps you have had to decide between a bosss request to attend a strategic planning session and your sons first baseball game or your daughters first piano recital. Maybe the challenge at hand is making ends meet in todays difficult financial times. Or perhaps your spouse told you he or she didnt love you anymore, and you felt the whole wire oscillate.

We have all experienced the consternation that seems to inhabit quests for success. In these pages, however, my charge for you is simple: travel with Todd from cover to cover. You wont be sorry you took the trip. This book will help you achieve a more balanced life and place you firmly on the road to achieving much more than mere success. With the assistance of these well-thought-out points, well-told stories, and the application of timeless principles, your life will become one of significance!

At this point in your life (and why did you pick up this book?), you probably already know that neither conquest, power, nor the acquisition of material things will produce lasting joy or fulfillment. In fact, when we finally complete the achievements we thought would create significance and happiness in our lives, we often realize that those achievements produced the opposite effect of what was intended! For many, success hasnt produced contentment; it has simply forced us farther out on the wire, demanding that we achieve even more.

I believe that the quality of our answers can only be determined by the quality of our questions. In this, the search you are about to begin to create the life of your dreams, allow me to pose a few: How would you live if this were your last month on earth? Would you consider the things you have accomplished thus far significant? Where would you spend the majority of your time? With whom? What would your legacy be? I am not suggesting that success is not important. It is. But for one to create a life of fulfillment and significance, success cannot be the only target for which we aim. In these pages, Todd will propose a new and radical style of workan extreme makeover for your life on and off the job. Hell also demonstrate, through a series of
