GET OFF THE X:
C.I.A. SECRETS FOR CONQUERING OBSTACLES AND ACHIEVING YOUR LIFE’S MISSION
“A must-read for everyone, no matter where they are on their life’s journey.”
In her first book “Breaking Cover”, Michele introduced the concept “Get Off the X.” In CIA terms, this is how officers are trained to survive deadly ambushes: get out of the kill zone as fast as possible. While working the counterterrorism mission in the Middle East, every day brought life-or-death challenges for Michele. She faced countless obstacles and dangers and had to forge ahead despite fear and uncertainty—or risk death, literally.
After learning to “Get Off the X” and using determination and discomfort to fuel a thriving life and career, Michele calls upon you to do the same. With stories of her time in the CIA, as well as everyday people who found ways to get unstuck in their own lives, she encourages you to stop feeling stuck and take charge of your situation, much like an agent in the field would.
While it’s hard to move out of the comfort zone, it’s even more dangerous to stay there. Every day we make the choice: Will we embrace challenge and hardship for a chance at something greater, or will we stay on the X and face the certain death of our dreams? With Get Off the X, Michele Rigby Assad equips you to make your escape.
Michele’s “Get Off the X” is the perfect book to change the way you think about obstacles in your life. Her personal stories and advice for achieving your goals will make you motivated, happier, and more productive. I can’t recommend this book enough.

As a former CIA intelligence officer, I can personally attest to the critical importance of getting off of the X to accomplish our operational mission. Let this book serve readers as an invaluable guide for navigating the uncertainties of life’s journey with faith and resilience.

Michele reminds us that obstacles are not our problem, but how we respond to those challenges that will define our future success. It doesn’t matter if you are a singer, a CEO, or someone who has yet to find their way in the world. You can find purpose and meaning if you are willing to go where others won’t go. It’s time to stop waiting and wondering and time to Get Off the X and work for your dreams!

In “Get Off the X”, Michele illuminates that the biggest barriers to escaping the dangers of your comfort zone are not outside you, but in your own mind. I recommend this book to anyone looking for breakthrough.

I tore through Michele’s first book, Breaking Cover. It gave us such a powerful picture of a woman finding her way, crystallizing her identity, and honing her prowess in a world of terrorism and espionage. In this new adventure, Get Off the X, Michele helps us navigate our lives with less fear and more command.
