Since I have Who Moved My Cheese?, The One Minute Manager, and Crucial Conversations on my list, you must all think I'm into self-help books. I actually couldn't think they were more stupid. I happen to work in the training business, and am forced to read this crap.
This book was exactly like a training seminar. It has activities, stories, and data. I liked it better than other self-help books I've read, but not enough that I actually read the entire thing. I read the first 36 pages, then skimmed through the rest of it. As with most books of this type, there weren't any new ideas in it. It just takes a bunch of ideas that you already have and puts them together in one nice little package.
My favorite thing about this book was that it has a touch of green on most of the pages, and I liked the foil stamped question mark on the cover. It's not very often that I enjoy the way a book was layed-out. I'd like to meet the designer who convinced the author and publisher that printing a book two-color would be worth it.

3.5 Stars. This book was helpful and taught good principles with practical exercises.
Notes:
We don't see things as they are. We see things as we are. I loved this one.
If you know who you are and what you want tends to show up.
The quality of your life will be in direct proportion to the types of relationships you choose to build.
The moment your past becomes more exciting than your future is the day you start to die.
Spirituality is your beliefs and behavior matching.

Read for a book club and was given the book in a leadership class I attended. Not much new here. I found some of the middle chapters more interesting than the beginning or the end. Were it not for the book club I would have put down and not finished.

The book focuses on self-discovery, goal setting, and creating a meaningful path forward, making it a valuable read for anyone feeling stuck, uncertain, or looking for a deeper sense of direction.

In my attempt to find some reading for my personal growth retreat, I found this. I'm always a fan of self-improvement books. But, this one was different. Instead of telling you what you should do, it unearths passions and priorities. Using these, it guides you to make decisions in accordance.
Not done yet, but I think I'm liking it.

This book focuses on the missing art of reflection and self-direction. Rather than a motivational rah-rah to find ourselves, this book asks us to look within, to reflect, to analyse and seek out what is important to us for the rest of our lives. Then make it happen.
