Playing Life to Win provides you with a strategy for living a successful life. Using the analogy of baseball, Dr. Hartman outlines the four steps - or bases - you must achieve to "win" in life. First Base: Get Yourself. Leverage self-awareness to create personal change, development, and growth. Second Base: Get Truth. Learn to confront the brutal truths about your life in order to make beter choices. Third Base: Get Over Yourself. Discover how to move from selfish to selfless. Home Plate: Get Others. Understand the ultimate key to winning in life: making it about others. This book is the perfect game plan for self development.
I really enjoyed this book. Last August I saw Dr. Taylor Hartman at an event he was speaking at. His personality was so genuine. He wasn't afraid to talk of his weaknesses or of his strengths. It was very refreshing to be just a few feet away from him.
Playing Life To Win is all about becoming the best you can be. Ironically, it's not all about you. You must understand yourself and be able to face truths that you would rather not, but you must also get over yourself and be able to understand others and make life all about them. For that is the only way you can win.
I recommend this book for anyone who feels like something is missing in their life. For anyone who wants life to be more complete. Or if you're struggling with a situation.
This book is for those who want to change their life on a permanent basis. And it will take time. It's not just for a weekend.
