You have more in you than you think.

We live in a world that celebrates mediocrity, participation, and "balance" over doing something meaningful with your life. Discipline, accountability, and ownership are rare. But that mindset didn't build this country, and it definitely won't build greatness.

Chris Paradiso doesn't settle for "good enough." He wants his kids to understand why their father lives differently. Why he pushes. Why he works. Why comfort isn't a priority. Why he is a Civilized Savage.

Civilized Savage features real stories about people who deliberately decide to push beyond what was easy. Some face incredible hardship. Others see opportunity and refuse to let it pass them by. It's a wake-up call to burn your backup plan while challenging yourself to live your best year ever. Discover for yourself how pushing toward discomfort, discipline, and truth sets a winning standard when you start living with intention.
