Becoming Driftless uses Wisconsin’s Driftless Region—untouched by glaciers—as a metaphor for a life preserved from ego’s flattening force. Paul Bernitt invites readers to recognize “drifting”: living by distraction, status, and external validation, even amid success.
Through scripture, reflection questions, and practical mindset shifts, the book calls for renewing the mind, aligning values with God’s purpose, and choosing response over reaction. True “internal equity” is built by service to something greater than self, strengthened by community, and expressed in faith, family, friendships, and purpose.
The result is lasting peace, joy, and legacy beyond possessions so readers live courageously, intentionally, and freely.
