Life...Don't Miss It. I Almost Did: How I Learned To Live Life To The Fullest

by Gary Kunath

Some say I am a lucky guy, because I figured it out before it was too late. I figured out what truly matters in life and I live my life by those principles. I almost missed out. I allowed myself to get caught up in life’s spin cycle. Too much work, allowing things that ultimately meant nothing to consume my life, being too busy to savor the simple things in life, thinking net worth was the true goal…well, not anymore. As I look around, what amazes me is that everybody wants the same We want to be happy, get out of the rat race, enjoy life, have fun, persevere through adversity, maximize joy, take risks, and be proud of who we are, what we have accomplished and the legacy we will leave. I know that because in my 30-year career as a sales executive, entrepreneur, public speaker, and faculty member at top companies and business schools, I have seen it with my own eyes. I have engaged with literally thousands of people of all ages, all over the world. They all want life worth. They want joy and contentment with their lives. They know they need it, they just don’t know how to get it. I do. I did it. I am a lucky guy because I figured it out at an age when I could apply it. It wasn’t too late. And it is also surprisingly simple, if you know the secrets.

The purpose of this book is to share with people of all ages the secrets to achieving a high life worth at any age. Life is too awesome to not be enjoyed every day in every way. It can be done. I know, because I am living it.

Not an eye opener, much of its contents is common sense, why write about the "good things you have done" when making a big deal about doing things anonymously then describing them in full detail in writing.
It is a very self serving book, created to make a following and get on the speakers circuit in order to make a living. Good for him if it works for him.
One thing I do agree with Mr. Kunath, is to have your children earn things instead of giving them things, lately there is an outburst of life insurance ads on Canadian TV that include mentioning the importance of getting a life insurance that will allow you to leave something for your "loved one" gimmi a break!

Quick, easy and to the point. If you feel like the hustle of life is causing you to miss out...pick this up and read it in a few days. And if you can see Gary speak, go for it.
