We are all born in a prison of strings. One by one, they twist around us. Day by day they tighten their grip, but few ever know they’re trapped. The most effective prison is the one you don’t know you’re in.
Equal parts memoir, manifesto, and inspiring fireside chat, Cutting Strings is the mentor every young person needs. It’s filled with struggles and triumphs, failures and most importantly, the lessons they bring. Zakk Colburn shares the story of how he overcame his difficult beginnings as a lonely, scared, and disregarded youth and found success in life while finding himself. Every painful and often embarrassing moment is exposed for examination, and each forceful insight is shared in powerful detail. Zakk will compel you to reexamine the myths you hold true about success and how it’s gained. Each setback provides new perspective, and each success, new tools for growth.
By the end, you’ll learn what Zakk did—how to identify and remove what’s holding you back from transforming your life and becoming the person you want to be. You’ll learn how to recognize the invisible prison and cut its strings.
