Normal is Broken

Society pushes us to follow a certain normal path in life. Do it and you will be rewarded, we’re told.

Study hard and work hard. Then you can buy a house, a couple of cars, and a gigantic TV. Maybe get married and have a few kids somewhere along the way. That’s supposed to be the dream, right?

Maybe it used to work that way. Or was it always just a fairytale?

These days if you follow what’s normal, you don’t end up healthy, wealthy, and happy. 

Instead, you end up sick, miserable, and under a mountain of debt.
