Review of Journey to your Summit
[Following is a volunteer review of "Journey to your Summit" by Dave Vetta.]
The analogy between the title and the existential peak of one's being is in perfect balance. Dave Vetta manages to form a thought pattern inside his readers' heads such that one recognizes the commitment required to reach a physical summit and instantly correlates that to the effort and dedication necessary to reach a mental summit, or a financial and professional one. Journey to your Summit: Intersection of Life Planning and Financial Literacy with a Spiritual and Disciplined Focus by Dave Vetta is part of the self-help genre, a how-to book on setting goals and accomplishments. When in doubt regarding life or money, one ought to pick up this book.
Summarizing the whole is both a difficult feat and a counterproductive one for the benefit of the readers. What I will divulge is that the book commences by taking the reader through a couple of steps. At the end of these steps, most people will have a rough draft of what their goals are and what they want to achieve by opening this book. Whether we gravitate toward financial planning, retirement planning, or life planning at large, this step-by-step manual will help us organize our thoughts to become efficient.
One thing I enjoyed was the casual manner in which the book made you come to some personal realizations. One minute you are reading and, subsequently, you are in the depths of your mind, having an epiphany. It happened countless times throughout the 138 pages of this book. Another aspect that piqued my interest was how relatable the examples were, making it facile for everyone to understand them. One does not require extensive financial research or understanding to get what the author is referring to. Furthermore, the author did include several accolades that made me, the reader, relate to him. In the same vein, I also felt that the book was grammatically adequate in terms of editing.
Conversely, there were a few aspects I did not quite like. Firstly, from a structural point of view, this book was somewhat dubious, and it did make for a few confusing moments where I could not quite tell where the page ended. I feel that this detail did ruin the flow of the book and the ideas presented in it. Similarly, a few of the subtitles did not match the content of the writing as much as I would have liked. It was an inconsistency that did nothing but subtract from the value of this book.
Despite the minor inconveniences or inconsistencies this book has, I rate it 4 out of 4 stars . The topic is uniquely presented in a manner that penetrates the mind. Even if I started reading this book without certain goals in mind, I now have a rough outline of where I want my life to go and how I can steer it in that direction.
I feel that this book is suited for all ages. It is never too late or too early to start setting life goals. The terminology in this book does not impede understanding of the main ideas, and the author makes a lot of good points through relatable examples appropriate for all ages.
