Customer Reviews

IActuate is an inspirational book

IActuate is an easy book to read. This book is filled with things people can do to live happier and more efficient lives. These 100 ideas are spread out over 100 days. A person can read one thought a day, or they can simply read the entire book at once. One thing is for certain. These thoughts will stick with you. After each thought, Aranmolate provides specific things a person can do for their health like eating a healthy breakfast or doing some form of physical exercise. I really like the idea of mental compartmentalization. This is the idea of focusing on one problem at a time. This can help me a lot in my busy life. Sheg takes a positive slant on hitting rock bottom in life. Hitting rock bottom can motivate a person to turn their life around. Another important lesson to remember is to simply treat people with compassion and to appreciate the differences in other human beings. I really enjoyed reading this book.

Fantastic, universal advice from a talented young writer

Sheg's new book iACTUATE is a collection of 100 potent mini-essays written in a blog-style format. Each day's entry focuses on a particular topic of relevance to everyday situations. Each entry introduces the topic by way of a quote from a sage. The main portion of the entry is a two-paragraph discussion in which Sheg discusses either an experience or his personal thoughts on the subject. Sheg then follows up with a clever metaphor that provides food for thought for nearly anyone, regardless of background or beliefs. The power of Sheg's book lies in his down-to-earth and earnest writing style. If everyone took Sheg's advice, the world would be a much happier, productive, and pleasant place in which to live. Each essay is followed with a short checklist of quick activities to help improve the health of the mind and body, as well as a space for personal reflections on the topic. Sheg's book stands out from the rest of the motivational genre in that his advice and wisdom is highly personal, yet transcends beliefs and niches to provide something everyone can benefit from. At the very least, it's an enjoyable read. But it will undoubtedly change the lives of many for the better.

A MUST READ, FROM A BRIGHT MIND

Iactuate is a must read coming from a bright and dynamic author. Highly recommended for everyone.

Truly Inspirational!

This Author is awesome. I saw him on "Oprah's Big Give"... the book is pretty easy to read and it is truly inspiration. I found the lessons that I learned in day 22 to have a really positive impact on my day to day actions, especially many aspects of my personality that seemed oblivious to me. The practical advice that I received from the book helped me modify the way I view my life and work. I never would have thought that holding elevator doors and just being conscious of other people's needs would have such a powerful impact on my happiness... pick up this truly inspirational book and let the good times roll!
