“Normal is if someone decides to base their choices on culture and fitting in. Breaking normal would be basing your choices on what lights you up regardless of what it looks like. So, what lights you up? Go and do that.” – Daniel Eisenman
Are you living the life of someone else to fit in with the crowd?

Remember Who You Are
Avoiding External Distractions
“The name of the game is not to get distracted externally and pay attention internally. That is our joy of being human; to be able to create from within. I want to remind myself at this point to be internally focused because there are so many external distractions out there right now such as technology.” – Daniel Eisenman
Following Your Heart's Desire
“What is my heart desire? That feeling is like a hummingbird flickering nearby, calling me to catch it and commit to it.” – Daniel Eisenman

About Daniel Eisenman
Daniel Eisenman graduated Pre-Med from Emory University with a BS (Key Acronym) in Biology & even took the MCAT about 10 years ago. Before applying to medical school to stay on the path of “NORMAL” as people advised him, he decided to “take a year off.” That year off has now turned into a decade of BREAKING NORMAL adventures throughout all 50 states and at least 20 countries.
He travels the world as a keynote speaker and facilitator of Breaking Normal Experiences / radical retreats and workshops (though he likes to call them playshops, as what's purer than play?) based on the principles of raw honesty and emotional freedom. He found that the common theme through his journey and experiences was that so many people seemed to be trapped in self-imposed prisons, keeping a lid on their genius, joy, & growth. Thus Breaking Normal was birthed as a way for people to free themselves from this self-imposed prison.
