Book Review:
On the Edge: An Anthology of Mastery Leaders is an inspirational collection curated by Christine Kimberley, celebrating the principles and personal journeys associated with “The Mastery of Self-Expression” workshop led by Dan Fauci. Framed by a foreword from actor and activist Ted Danson, the book brings together reflections, stories, and insights from individuals who have embraced the challenge of stepping beyond their comfort zones to unlock greater personal and professional potential.

The title and the opening poem by Christopher Logue (“Come to the edge…”) set the tone for a theme of risk-taking, trust, and transformation. The anthology likely features essays, interviews, or testimonials from diverse “mastery leaders” who have applied workshop teachings to their lives, emphasizing authenticity, communication, and purposeful action.

As a companion to a specific personal development program, the book serves primarily as a motivational tool and community touchstone. Its strength lies in its collective voice and real-world examples of growth. However, readers unfamiliar with the Mastery workshop may find some concepts abstract or context-dependent.

This book is best suited for past participants of the program, those interested in expressive leadership methodologies, or readers seeking short, uplifting narratives about personal breakthrough. While not a systematic guide to leadership, it offers a heartfelt, community-centered perspective on the courage it takes to “fly” after being pushed to the edge. A niche but sincere contribution to the genre of transformational anthologies.
