Customer Reviews

Great if yoyu are going through a life change!

It is a great book to find the positive side of change in any aspect of life, from career to relationships.

Highly Readable

This book dares you to have a "Time Out" from the busines of everyday and examine your life. It reminds you that life is a journey and as such, you have to continually pack and repack to lighten your load. Although it caters more to couples, everyone can benefit from it. This is a must read for someone who's standing at the crossroads of life. The exercises at the end of every chapter are very helpful. Read it, it might help you to throw away some unwanted stuff in your life.

Excellent! What to do with the rest of your life.

Exlains how 4 essentials(your work, where you live, your relationships and your life's purpose)have everything to do with achieving a satisfying lifestyle. Interestingly written. Not pedantic. Provides a guide to assessing where you are and where you want to go. A must-read for anyone over 40. Can't wait to read "The Power of Purpose."

an experiential tool

Rather than prescribing a formula for happiness and fulfillment, Dick sets out a map that guides one's own inner journey. The reflective exercises make this book a tool for personal learning.
