Book excerpt: Inspired by the Socrates' quote, "The unexamined life is not worth living" George Casey Jr. was called to action and compelled to write this book. In hopes that his journey will inspire others to take a closer look at themselves and examine the potential within. George Casey Jr. has faced many obstacles and only after taking a serious look at his hidden past was he able to really see his full potential. He reveals the ugly truths inside of gangs, drugs, violence and the lack of drive, confidence and ambition that comes along with living this lifestyle. This book is for anyone who ever doubted themselves, their abilities or their self worth. You are encouraged to do just what George did and peel back the layers of your own suppressed past to reveal the greatness within.
