Reviewed by the INTERNATIONAL REVIEW OF BOOKS:

Which line stood out from all the others in the book?

By managing your time and energy wisely, you nurture all aspects of yourself—body, mind and spirit.

General Summary for Context:

Is it possible to rise above the rut many of us find ourselves in, going along with the mundane aspects of our lives simply because it’s comfortable and familiar? Is there more to life than just existing? Jay Nesbit says yes, absolutely. And in this life affirming book, we learn how to expand our abilities and acquire the skills that can assist us in unleashing our true potential and realize goals that we previously thought were beyond our capabilities. Small steps each day leading to a more meaningful and satisfying life, if we’re willing to put in a little effort to make it happen.

Concise Review:

Not just another self-help book with the usual suggestions, this author is specifically providing us with the tools and steps we can actively use to change our lives from a passive drab existence to a satisfying and meaningful one. Through the use of powerful aids such as journaling, action plans, commitment, self-awareness and others, we are given step by step instructions and recommendations as to how to achieve the life we want, not the one we merely exist in.

General Thoughts on the Novel:

I loved this book. While I never thought of myself as being in a rut, exactly, I also never realized my long-buried goals that I thought I didn’t have the ability or power to achieve. A guide for all of us, and even for those who feel they can accomplish more in their lives and achieve greater self-satisfaction and happiness in doing so. Highly recommend it to everyone.
