That loss became his clarion call to stop waiting and live The Good Life now.\nPart memoir, part field guide, Analog blends personal stories of entrepreneurship, adventure, and community with practical lessons for anyone ready to step off the hamster wheel and take the wheel of their own life.\nThis isn’t another “10 steps to success” book. Instead, Chris pulls back the curtain on his own journey—startups that soared, ideas that flopped, moments of doubt, bold leaps, and surprising wins. Along the way, he distills the lessons that matter most:\nAgency matters. Freedom comes when you put your hands firmly on the wheel of your life and career.\nResilience is a practice. Life will throw curveballs—personal loss, disasters, setbacks. Resilience isn’t about bouncing back, but about moving forward with courage and creativity.\nFirst believers change everything. Sometimes all it takes is one person to believe—in you, or in the dream you’re chasing—to transform the possible into reality.\nFailures are teachers. Every dead end contains a lesson. Success comes from daring, learning, and daring again.\nMeaning fuels purpose. You don’t need to wait for retirement to live with intention. Joy, connection, and impact can be designed into your life today.\nThrough stories of building businesses, creating communities, and finding joy in the everyday, Schultz invites you to reset your goal: not saving happiness for someday, but creating it now—in work, in family, and in the life you choose to design.\nWhether you’re an entrepreneur, a creative, or simply someone rethinking what “success” means, Analog offers both hard-won wisdom and an urgent reminder:\nYou’re worth the risk.\nThe Good Life isn’t someday. It starts today.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0FY1SQ2XL\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0FY1SQ2XL.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:schultz, Mr Christopher B|Schultz, Chris\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
