Dare to Stimulate

I live the life of a twenty-first century nomad, plain and simple. My personal and professional existences have taken me around the world and afforded me the opportunity to interact and share experiences with some of the most interesting people imaginable. These experiences, along with decades of life lessons and incremental moments, have pushed me into a hobby no one, and I mean no one including myself, saw coming: writing.

​

Dare to Stimulate is the debut collection of anecdotes, opinions, and advice from author, Ryan Brueckner. This five-chapter, self-help literary collection has one distinct purpose: to stimulate a reader’s mind and trigger a reaction. Some observations will draw out conversations and memories, while others will bring laughter and surprise. Topics range from simple rules of the road to opinions around physical fitness, attitude, and being proud of your background. Regardless, each page allows a reader to challenge the topic, engage with the observation, and reflect, react, and reconnect with the surrounding world. People come from diverse backgrounds and are driven by unique sets of circumstances and experiences, yet all of our minds can fall victim to repetition and consistent observations determined by our current environment. I dare you to break that mold, if even for a second, and look at yourself and those around you through a slightly different lens. Life is precious, and I hope this book fills you with motivation, reflection, respect, and advice to leverage along the journey of life. Enjoy my friends.
