Thrive is a guidebook for driving your own personal fulfillment. Rand Selig has expertly laid out a full set of topics for your consideration - a deck of cards, if you will. Which cards you play and when you play them are entirely up to you. Thrive is a really valuable tool to help those who are new to the journey toward living life more fully or those who are looking for deeper/new learnings. It contains spectacular and relevant quotes, spot-on references, and all are delivered in a straightforward and digestible way.

This is an ambitious book that, over the course of its 14 chapters, covers all the important aspects of how to live a good life. Unlike most books of its ilk it contains no filler and never gets bogged down.

I expect every reader will find different chapters that resonate particularly with them, based on their life stage and problems of the day. For me personally it was the chapters on Gratitude and Purpose. Given the scope of the book the author can't go arbitrarily deep on each area, but very helpfully provides many references inline and in the endnotes for further reading.

Mr. Selig delivers on this wonderfully comprehensive book, which provides valuable resources and tools for anyone looking to improve their well-being, and/or establish sustainable long-term habits, that will be positively impactful. He makes an impassioned case for us to be introspective, and provides guidance through specific areas of focus. I will use “Thriving” as a roadmap, and I’m confident it’ll will help me in all aspects of my life.

The wise and practical tips that Rand Selig shares in Thriving! are cultivated from the author’s lifetime contemplation of the writings of ancient and modern sages as well as from his well-rounded experiences as a devoted family man, successful entrepreneur, and deeply concerned citizen of the world. The book deserves to be read widely as it will benefit the reader in just about every aspect of their life.

This accessible, heartfelt, and well researched (and well written) book poses thought provoking questions and offers practical wisdom about how to live a good, meaningful, and happy life. Filled with quotes and examples from a wide variety of sources and the author’s own experience, its lessons can immediately be put to good use by everyone.

[Joel S · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have to admit that I was amazed by this book, especially coming from a first-time author (to the best of my knowledge). It walks the reader through an incredibly thorough list of "how to look at life" and it stimulates the reader to realize that s/he has the ability to improve their lives just by interpreting and reacting to events in a more wholesome and positive manner. I also loved its use of well-chosen quotes which helped to illustrate the scope and depth of its insights.

I received this book as a giveaway via Goodreads and found it packed with information and resources for both personal and professional growth. Rand’s tips were insightful and the numerous suggestions for additional information was and endless supply of secondary reading material.

[Lawrie Lieberman · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is book provocative and insightful. It forces introspection, and pushes questions we often don't ask, or are uncomfortable in asking. One needn't answer these questions to others, but we must to ourselves. Well written and a fast read.

[Tanis Reid · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent read!! The author offers a wonderful weave of questions and thoughts to consider in designing one’s future, whether that future consists of years or decades. The writing style is gentle and non confrontational, and the material is organized in such a way that the reader can read straight through, or use the book as a valued reference, focusing on one section at a time. Highly recommend.
