The Contented Achiever : How to Get What You Want and Love What You Get

by Don Hutson, Chris Crouch

This book will bring clarity, simplicity and a sense of purpose to high achievers. While many people are high achievers, and some people are quite contented, it is very rare indeed to find a person who is both at the same time.

Full of fun-to-read and insightful stories, it helps answer questions plaguing many people today. How can I avoid having an abundance of work and a shortage of joy? How can I spend more time on activities that nurture my soul? How can I be a high achiever, make it to the top of my profession, and still be contented?

It encourages you to design your own path in life, and in the process, realize that having it all is as much about a balanced life as it is about a balance sheet.

[Jim Marsh]

Contented Achiever was a free ebook for the Kindle.

It is a personal development book that touches on a lot of advice and adages from other, prominent titles in the personal development world.

I really wish I could give it 3.5 stars, because it was written clearly and used some excellent sources.

The organization was a little on the weaker side. The individual chapters were good, but they did not feel like a cohesive whole.

Still for the price and considering it was such a quick, easy read I would recommend it, especially for those not as familiar with basic principles of personal development.
