Be Present, LIVE Fully: A Guide to Balancing Growth, Connection, and Purpose

By Karl D. Liedtka Ph.D.

Be Present, LIVE Fully is a practical, philosophy- and psychology-infused roadmap for living with intention, authenticity, and purpose. Drawing on decades of experience counseling, mentoring, and coaching, Dr. Karl Liedtka presents the LIVE model-a flexible system for thriving in today's complex world. The LIVE framework guides readers through four pillars of well-being: - Locus: Find balance between attending to your own needs and engaging with the world around you. Learn to nurture yourself while remaining present for others, using your personal "oxygen mask" first. - Intensity: Manage your energy wisely by balancing high-intensity challenges with restorative periods of rest and relaxation. Discover how small wins and mindful recovery build sustainable motivation. - Variety: Enrich daily life by embracing new experiences and perspectives across mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual dimensions. Turn ordinary routines into opportunities for growth and insight. - Eudaimonia: Align your actions with deeper purpose, cultivating meaning, fulfillment, and long-term well-being. With reflective exercises, journaling prompts, and real-life examples-from personal growth and parenting to sports and work-this book is a toolkit for anyone seeking clarity, resilience, and a life lived fully. Be Present, LIVE Fully isn't about a formula for happiness; it's about creating a life of presence, purpose, and authentic well-being.
