Review of
Instaread Summary of Living Forward A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want
by Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy
Two out of five stars
This book and
summary combination failed to generate even a slight rise in my interest meter.
Both revolve around the creation of a “. . . concrete Life Plan to prevent
drifting from day to day and instead live a proactive life of success without
regrets.” In other words, all will be better or even well if you write a plan
for your life and stick to it. My first mental reaction was to recall the
famous quote, “Life is what happens to
you while you're busy making other plans.”
There is
nothing in the book or the summary that has not been said and restated in
countless books, pamphlets, motivational meetings and television shows. It is
an example of the concept that no area does more rehashing and recycling of
material than the self-help industry. This is one of the primary reasons that
self-help books have one of the shortest shelf lives of interest of any genre. I
am sure the book, like the summary, is dull and predictable.
This book was made available for free for review
purposes.
