Anything about life is something interesting to read so I’m looking forward to digging into this book to see what Spilde would like to contribute to self help books. Goals are important so having this as a topic in book is right up my alley.

This self help book focuses on maintaining goals through careful planning as one would do when going on vacation. I think this method works for people who enjoy structure and planning as a way to reach goals. Congrats on the BOTD!

Procastinating and feeling lost as we navigating through life without clear goals could be the main reason of failure. the author encouraging the readers that keeping a journal is very helpful to manage our goals and live with purpose. This book is practical, motivational, and interactive to properly set goals and achieve them. Thank you for a great review.

I’ve never tried journaling but it does seem helpful. I like the idea of comparing going through life aimlessly without a goal to finding a place for vacation. That was such a good comparison that me really understand. Great review!

This is a self-help book that covers a wide range of topics including finance. It includes a range of activities and I liked the quotes at the beginning of chapters. However, I felt like I was being lectured.

Congrats on BOTD. Looks like this book is for those who want to fix their life and achieve their goals, even those who are wandering aimlessly without a goal.

I’m not one for reading self help books, but I LOVE making lists and I’m trying to get into journaling, so the fact that the author suggests these methods as a kind of goal setting has definitely piqued my interest.

I appreciate the analogy of planning a vacation to planning one's life—it really helps drive home the importance of setting clear goals. The book is a very enlightening read. Congrats on BOTD.

This book is partly a self=help book. It is also autobiographical , in part, as well as a textbook and tool-book with exercises to discover the things that will make your life abundant - It's not about making money.

Because the latter part of the book has headings on a number of different specific religions I would pass on it. I know spirituality (feeding our spiritual need) is important and no one can be happy if they exclude God from their lives. However, a personal relationship with God is the most important thing. No one can be truly happy in the long term if they exclude God from their lives. Not all religions lead to peace in the world. Any that would take up arms and go to war may have some beliefs that fit what the author is trying to say, but I wouldn't want to learn about them. Like a bucket of clean water that has a cup of mud in it , I wouldn't want to drink it.

The book is well written and inspiring. Some will find it helpful and life changing.
Chapter * in the list of chapters at the beginning has a wee typo. Life your life of Lessons - should read Live your life... Not a big issue. Some may not notice.
