Why Not Me? I Bought an Island And Wrote A Book

Rate this book
Why not me? We should all ask ourselves this question on a regular basis. I asked myself this question and I put daily actions in motion to support my continued pursuit for a wild life. This book explains the principles I follow, and lessons learned from one of the wildest accomplishments of my life.

This book is for avid readers and for those who may not typically enjoy reading. It speaks to the person I once was—someone who was looking for information to explore possibilities.I want this book to serve as a bridge between making such information accessible to the novice reader, while also sparking thought and action in people smarter than me.

Throughout my diverse life experiences, marked by numerous highs and lows, I hope this one-hour read stimulates reflection across various walks of life. My intention is to remind people of the endless possibilities this life has to offer, to not live with regret, and to give yourself a fighting chance by taking action. Don't take it from me, take it from my friends below...

“Cory’s work ethic from the coal mines in Ohio to realizing his vision as a top fitness entrepreneur has inspired many people. His passion for fitness & dedication is undeniable. I just wish he would quit showing me his abs every time I see him.”

"When I started this book it was right before my record Psychopath came out. I was tired from the road - and questioning my career and what I really wanted. I began reading and got to the part about purpose. I began to ask myself “what are you doing this for?” I remembered how I have known since I was a kid this is what I wanted. I read about Cory working in the coal mines and how he knew he wanted to be a personal trainer, and the love he felt for weightlifting. I remembered why I do this how I want to change my life and the future generations in my family, how I fell in love with songwriting. This book helped spark my inspiration again. I went to the studio and cut 2 new songs.

If you are looking for a book to help inspire you or encourage you to move toward your goals, this is your book. Cory doesn’t just speak it the man lives it. I recommend this quick read today. It helped me get back on track and understand my purpose."
