Review #727 - Dated: 17th of May, 2005 Author: tigger |
This book is an easy to read and inspiring self-improvement guide to helping you create a ‘list for life’ and do those special things you always wanted to do. Most so-called ultimate experiences or N.O.W moments seem to come under eight different themes: facing your fear, getting lost, testing your limits, taking a leap of faith, rediscovering your childhood, shedding your inhibitions or expressing yourself, breaking new ground, and aiming for the heart. This last one refers to living your dream through helping others live theirs.
Most of the examples and topics covered in this book seem to be of the extreme adventure, leisure activity variety, but even if your dreams are somewhat quieter and less physical Phil Keoghan writes so enthusiastically that it’s easy to translate this to any other topic and turn his enthusiasm towards whatever your own dreams are. But, urges Phil throughout the book, you must not just sit back and enjoy his philosophy and fascinating examples of ordinary people throughout the world who have taken the challenge to get the most out of life (Banana George is my favourite example). You must discover your own list “and do it – NOW!”
