Own It: A Practical Guide to Defying the Odds and Claiming Your Life

When Adi Redzic left the war-torn Balkans as a teenager in the pursuit of his own American Dream, he faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles: he was a homesick foreigner with English as his second language; he was broke, melancholic, and lonely.

Own It is a collection of practical lessons written to empower you to take charge of your life and win against all odds. In this book, you will learn: Written in an honest and direct manner, each lesson is infused by the author's personal experiences and is a testament to the raw, imperfect, messy, and often difficult journey to fulfillment. It is not some fairytale, but stuff that works.
