What does it mean to feel fully alive? For most high performers, success has become a disguise for survival. You have the title, the salary, the reputation, but inside, you feel scattered, stuck, or silently burning out. You’ve done everything “right,” but you’ve lost the spark, the energy, the vitality that makes life worth living. J. Michael Fischer Jr. has been there. From chasing approval and battling self-loathing to building an impressive career as an investment banker, he looked successful but felt profoundly empty. The sudden loss of his father became a brutal wake-up call: life is too short to live out of alignment. In this transformative book, Fischer cracks the code on sustainable, fulfilling success. He reveals that vitality isn’t about more energy drinks or productivity hacks. True vitality is alignment.
