All Dreams on Deck

Unleash Your Full Potential

​All Dreams on Deck inspires readers to clearly articulate their most important dreams in work and life, then proposes a practical approach to realizing those dreams. Through engaging, real-life examples, readers will be inspired to live life to their full potential.

Author Jeremy Cage begins with the premise that there is no such thing as work–life balance. There is only life balance—of which work is an important part. With this as the foundation, he guides readers through a simple and actionable approach to enable them to determine the most important components of their lives—the Grab Bags in their LifeBoat—then chart the course to making all the dreams in that LifeBoat a reality.

Jeremy has lived and worked in nine countries. He also took a sabbatical mid-career to sail around the world with his wife and children. So rather than theoretical mumbo jumbo, the reader is presented with compelling, real-life examples of how to dream specifically, get highly intentional about those dreams, plan and prepare well—then summon the courage to set sail.

“Jeremy Cage has written a great book that everyone who thinks about how to better balance work–life issues would benefit from reading. Everything starts with a dream—but Jeremy really shows us how to get started on making these dreams come to life. Generalities won’t get it done; it requires very specific charting and execution. Just as Jeremy navigated his way across oceans, he’s also shown us how we can better navigate life’s personal and professional challenges. I’m giving my daughters copies of his book, and I hope they get as much out of Jeremy’s insights as I did.”
—Katie Couric, journalist and author, Yahoo! Global News anchor

When I finished reading, I could smell the ocean. More importantly, I had learned invaluable lessons to help me navigate future endeavors.”

“Jeremy Cage's book, All Dreams on Deck, breathes life into the saying that ‘if you don't know where you're going, you're never going to get there.’ And Jeremy knows where he is headed. Dreams come alive in Jeremy's action-oriented manifesto—but not by accident. His book details his approach to squeezing the most from your potential (complete with worksheets to source your dreams and translate them into action), with generous helpings of insights from his successful (and occasionally less-successful) business adventures and his ’round-the-world voyage with his family. By weaving his analysis and insights with time-honored lessons on the importance of trust, intentionality, humility, listening, and rolling up your sleeves, Jeremy teaches us how to dream with one eye open. And his optimism, tethered to creating concrete plans for realizing dreams, is infectious. Get ready for a healthy dose of joy and enthusiasm while reading this book—and then get back to dreaming with a purpose that you never dreamed of before.”
—Gregory D. Hess, president and professor of economics at Wabash College

“Most of us are waiting idly for our dreams to come true. Jeremy Cage knows that our best hopes and aspirations must be named out loud, shared with others, and carefully nurtured.
