Heidi Dusek's wonderful field guide on designing an extraordinary life does the remarkable: it brings this life within reach and gives you practical ways to build a little more fun and adventure into your family's life." —Brad Barrett, cohost and cofounder of the ChooseFI podcast "As a hospice doctor, I have sat with those who waited until the end to reflect on their life. I can't help but wonder how many leave purpose and joy on the table for a rainy day instead of putting in the work in their younger years. Beyond Normal is a refreshing reminder to embrace the uncertain aspects of life as part of the journey. Heidi's adventurous spirit and guiding questions make this book both a joyful retreat and a great guide to designing an extraordinary life!" —Jordan Grumet (Doc G), author of Taking Stock and host of the Earn & Invest podcast "Family adventures can be so alluring and intimidating at the same time.

And in this book, Heidi lays out exactly the things we need to be thinking about to go beyond normal and plan regular adventures the whole family will love.
