Written lists have a way of transforming your hopes into dreams, your dreams into plans, and your plans into reality. The 10 book, our latest addition to the bestselling Life By the Numbers series, is an inspirational guide to creating these life lists, helping you to realize your biggest dreams.
What a great book to inspire and prompt you to discover more about you and your purpose and plans! I enjoyed the experience and feel like I have a better grasp on next steps and the personal why behind them. I gave myself a time limit of two hours to read and answer the prompts. For me this worked well, because then I didn’t overthink things. Each list can be expanded further or changed in the coming weeks and months but it is a solid list made from my gut already. Therefore it expresses my values, dreams, and uniqueness. Timely since a new decade starts tomorrow. 2020 is going to be phenomenal!
I found this book in a used book store in hawaii. (It hadn’t been used yet). This was enjoyable and inspiring! It was fun to think of the future especially during this time of the year. With new years coming up it was purposeful and took me by surprise—as it was first published in 2012.(?) will be recommending to my close friends :)
I was excited about this book, cool subject, large print, few pages (not even numbered). It was an "alright" book, not particularly inspiring. I have been exposed to more stimulating thought material in various methods previously, the community college's Values Clarity class for incoming freshmen for instance. Perhaps my ideas of what I'm going to do with the rest of my life have started to dwindle, that in spite of the enthusiastic tone of the "You can STILL do it!" message, I just don't have the starry eyes necessary to look beyond my jaded realism (tongue firmly in cheek; I'm not really that jaded). Maybe I'm just content with what I have. My dreams for the future are not that grand, and I'm not hampered by much to achieve. Maybe I've already achieved my major dreams, crossed the big things off my To-Do List. The material on the whole is fine; I just wasn't particularly inspired by it to reach for more.
Not as good for me, as this has a lot of "what are your values?" kinds of exercises that would have been amazing 20 years ago, and are just interesting reminders. I got a whole lot more out of the same author's "5."
A good exercise. Some of the prompts were quite insightful, others seemed to be stretching it a bit. The quotes and excerpts were well chosen, and the design of the book is nice. A good companion and a drive to meditate on oneself and elucidate one's ideas and values.
