I enjoyed this book and learnt a great deal about myself as I worked through it.The book contains some great resources. There are a number of worksheets to get you thinking, and many points throughout the book where the author asks you to list things that are important to you in different ways. They're designed to really get you thinking more deeply about things you tend to take for granted about yourself and your goals. Working through the book certainly makes you realise that it's possible to think you have some goals, some plans etc, but until you actually formalise these then they remain vague and therefore difficult to meet. The prompts that the author gives definitely help to focus your thinking.Interspersed with the advice and the worksheets are transcripts of conversations the author has had with workshop attendees in the past. These are also extremely useful, as they are a great way of illustrating and helping you recognise some of the shortcomings in your own thinking.All in all, I found this book very helpful. It has helped me realise the goals that are important to me, and that will be most useful in my life - and has given me the tools to repeat this process for the future.Well recommended.
