Discover answers to questions you never knew you had.

Life happens for you, not to you. Every unwanted circumstance offers an opportunity to alter your perspective-and that can change everything.

In Perspective Is a Verb, the Converse Cowboy delivers fresh insights on navigating struggles and adversity, proposing that every event in your life is, at that moment, the most valuable experience for your growth. Here is your blueprint for recalibrating, renewing, and rediscovering the parts of yourself you love most.

Perspective Is a Verb is an intimate unveiling of one man's successful search for deep, abiding meaning. It distills centuries of wisdom from philosophers, seekers, and survivors. Best of all, it encourages reflecting on these philosophies and cultivating them in your own life, prompting you to prime your personal perspective while developing habits that set you up for a life filled with gratitude, awareness, and purpose.

Industry Reviews

"The Converse Cowboy has created more than a book-it's a daily nudge toward what matters most. Perspective Is a Verb is equal parts reflection, art, and soul. A meaningful companion for anyone seeking clarity, gratitude, or a deeper sense of purpose."

-Steven Pressfield, bestselling author of The War of Art.

"If you don't have Perspective Is a Verb, you ain't no cowboy. This book doesn't just speak to the mind-it speaks to the soul. The Converse Cowboy offers a steady, thoughtful reminder that meaning isn't something we find by accident-it's something we create, one choice, one reflection at a time. This book is both grounding and uplifting, the kind you keep within reach, Ol' Son."

-Dale Brisby, world's greatest bull rider.
