Smith had lived his 20,000th day, he took two of the next 20,000 (or however many he has left) to plan how he would spend the rest of his life. In his book 20,000 Days and Counting: The Crash Course for Mastering Your Life Right Now, he divulges what he did during his two-day retreat, and explains the philosophy on which he bases his life—a philosophy he sums up in statements like: “There is no thought that will purge your priorities of worthless and worldly tastes like that of your impending death. Ponder the kind of life you would like to look back on when you come to die… “ and “The best preparation for living is to be prepared to die at any time … imminent death inspires clarity of purpose, a rearranging of what really matters” – Robert D. Smith, 20,000 Days and Counting, Kindle Locations 554 and 573. However, the book is anything but morbid. For this man, who has spent most of his career managing entertainer and author Andy Andrews knows how to show us a good time. The book’s tone and content is upbeat, encouraging, helpful, and practical. In it he suggests exercises that will help readers discover their life’s purpose and gives them ways to live responsibly and constructively. Some of his suggestions that resonated with me were: - You increase motivation by increasing productivity. - Be open to saying “yes” more than you say “no.” - Take ownership. “Start thinking I am the problem … when you do that…. Suddenly you have power” (Kindle Location 771). The book is a fast read and worth every minute spent immersed in it. The few hours it took me to read it are already proving well spent in their impact on my 2013 goals and resolutions. This is a book that will clear your vision and help you live with a “So teach us to number our days that we may gain a heart of wisdom” mindset (Psalm 90:12—one of numerous Bible verses he quotes; the book is consistent with a Christian perspective). I recommend it! I received 20,000 Days and Counting as a gift from the publisher for the purpose of writing a review. One of my absolute favorite books right now and I think EVERYONE should read. 20,000 Days and Counting is "the crash course for mastering your life right now". As I write this, I am 10,574 days old! Smith takes us on a quick journey of how he suddenly realized he was 20,000 days old (to the date) and wanted to make his life the best it could ever be. He wanted to find out his mission and goals in life, how to master it, and live life the fullest. Even if your life feels full and you can't possibly make it better, I think you should still read this book because there is so much wisdom and ideas and suggestions on how you can continue to live an incredible life. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
