Book excerpt: Joseph Campbell, the twentieth-century American mythologist and lecturer, once said that “the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” Part diary, part social commentary and part inspirational time-capsule, Siobhan Kukolic has created a book brimming with wise and candid observations about taking the first step toward transforming your life. The Treasure You Seek is unique and compulsively readable, offering us a snapshot of a year in our world peppered with anecdotes and advice from some of our best-known philosophers, authors, actors, musicians and politicians. Using quotes from everyone from Henry David Thoreau to Tina Fey, Siobhan weaves together her own experience with the wisdom of others who have something important to tell us. Originally started as a year-long blogging project encouraging people to follow their dreams, Siobhan hopes to inspire others to take a risk and be the change.
