have never been a big fan of selfhelp books but I think this is one that every twentysomething should read.
It is an easy read, but completing the exercises takes a lot of soulsearching, Subtitled “The Twentysomethings Guide to Cashing in on Your RealWorld Dreams, ” The author quit college and wrote his first book at age, Brutally honest and quite inspiring, this little book challenges his generation to not settle for less than their passion, providing challenges and real world stories including references to learn more of many of them online at sitelinkwww.
myrealitycheckbounced. com/inside to encourage and stimulate understanding and action to start living your authentic life, He asks readers to learn of and describe their dreams in so much detail that they are almost palpable e.
g. , what shoes will you wear to work, what pictures will hang in your living room, how will you relax each day, what will your greatest memory be, etc.
. Combining short worksheets and challenging questions around thechapters, he ends each with a short summary called “Instant Message” as well as a “Bounced” statement and a “Cashed” statement for your new reality check.
The chapter titles give a sense of the books focus:
, Stand up for your life, Break free. Light your fire. Unleash opportunity. Can you hear me now, Secrets to building your realworld dream team, Whats past is power. Check your excuses at the door, The fear factor. Life in the balance. Cutting corners. Find out what youre made of,
A practical and challenging book for any working adult,
My impression so far is "Think and Grow Rich" rebranded forsomethings, or "TheHour Work Week" without the bite, or could be retitled: "Chicken Soup for the DownandOutSomething's Soul.
Okay so this book was good and helped me to understand that there are people out there like me, . . going through a "quarterlife crisis," but the Author is so dry and did not keep me inturested, Great insights but boy, does it make you want to work alone, This book was recommended to me via goodreads and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it,
I think it gives great advice to those in the gap between college and defining their adult lives! It could be annoying, I have no idea.
I'm not a GenY but really good advice for those who are, Its time to cash your reality check and recreate your life on your own terms,
