About the Book

What if the perfect plan was never yours to begin with, and what if a machine could help you understand why? For decades, Mary McCorvey followed a script: military service, a high-profile government and business career, success by all appearances. But after surviving sarin gas exposure during the Gulf War, enduring a terminal diagnosis, and walking away from a life that looked perfect on paper, she realized something radical: the traditional path is a myth, fraught with expectations of others, and yourself. She found true success, and gratification, in experience. In the first-of-its kind memoir collaboration between human memory and artificial intelligence, Experience Over Expectation shares the raw, nonlinear story of how Mary unraveled everything she was told to be, and became who she truly is. Introducing Eheye'-a cognitive AI voice generated from five artificial intelligence platforms, trained to analyze Mary's life story. In each chapter, Eheye offers insight into the patterns, systems, and decision-making that shaped Mary's journey. A profound, three-part narrative emerges: Mary's voice, Eheye's analysis, and prompts for discovering your own story. This book will help you Let go of outdated timelines and expectations Reclaim your intuition and creative instincts Find meaning in the in-between spaces Live on your terms-with courage, clarity, and curiosity
