Terrific Little Helper

FREE GULLIVER by Tripp Friedler is an excellent little guide to Life Planning. The author is highly qualified to write the six lessons, as he is a former insurance agent, a lawyer, a counselor, and an entrepreneur. He has helped hundreds of people creat a successful plan for achieving their dreams, both financially and personally. In this little book, which has far more good information and help than its small size would indicate, he tells how to figure out your vision of success, assess where you are in your life today, rekindle your passion about your vision you might have lost, live (not just leave) your legacy, and retire early and be happy and successful. We highly recommend this book!

Kick the Rat Out of Your Race!

I searched for "Free Gulliver" after meeting the author. The book was a pleasant afternoon read that can help a person become more comfortable with their life choices and retirement goals. After reading this book, you may decide to simplify your own personal "rat race" into a "cake walk". After reading Tripp Friedler's book, I discovered that I've actually been able to accomplish in my retirement what he writes about.

Creative examination for a common problem

Even the title to this book gives you a preview into the creative abilities of the author. Free Gulliver: Six Swift Lessons in Life Planning plays on Jonathan Swift's book Gulliver's Travels and his experience with the residents of Lilliput. Although small in size and Gulliver is huge in comparison the Lilliputians succeed in keeping him under control. They do it by using thousands of small strings, each of which are small enough for him to break easily but when combined they hold him fast to the ground. This is the premise of this book and its whole purpose. We tend to let so many small things tie us down that in total we become incapacitated. This book is about freeing Gulliver - freeing yourself from all those little things that hold you back. Although he details the process in this book the basic premise it to figure out your vision of where you want to go and then cut the strings that hold you. Free Gulliver: Six Swift Lessons in Life Planning is highly recommended to people who feel overwhelmed to the point of being almost unable to cope with life or unable to move forward toward their goals.

Yes You Should

Having recently taken the plunge to start my own business after years of thinking about, but avoiding due to the risk, I only wish that Free Gulliver had been printed earlier. This little book would have provided me with a map of where I was and where I wanted to be. After reading it now, it does offer clarity that I have made the right choice. Free Gulliver has helped me set my goals and plan my next steps. I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of, or already making big changes in their business or personal lives.

thought provoking and inspiring, yet clear and concise

Here's a book everyone should read. If you are floundering in life it poses simple questions that can get you started on the right track. If you feel like you are where you want to be it will help you fine tune your situation. It's the type of book I will refer back to when I need inspiration, motivation, or insight at various stages in my life. Although it took me only a couple of hours to read, it left me thinking and planning for days to come. I find myself going back to it and taking what I read to different levels. I love a book that makes me think and FREE GULLIVER accomplished that.
