Goal Free Living - How to live the life you want Author: Stephen M Shapiro Publisher: Wiley ISBN: 0-471-77280-1 Goal Free Living shows you how to explore paths in your life you never knew existed and discover a more exciting, successful and rewarding life. The theme of this book is not promoting aimlessness -- it is the attempt to change the craziness of chasing goals. In a nutshell, the book provides an alternative to American's traditional goal-driven thinking of “when I'm making $50,000 a year, I'll be happy”; “when I lose 15 pounds, I'll be happy”; “when we get married, then we'll be happy”. So, at what point do we stop trying to attain goals and really just enjoy life? Enter Goal-Free Living and don't let the name fool you! Goal-Free Living is more than a business self-help book, but a philosophy and approach to life which puts a greater priority on the experience than the ultimate outcome. Since we have all seen first hand that even the best laid plans can go off course, doesn't it make sense to place an emphasis on those things that you can control than those you can't? Based on hundreds of interviews and drawing from Shapiro's personal experiences, Goal Free Living is packed with insights from ordinary people living extraordinary lives. Shapiro's basic advice is "if do what you love and love what you do, then it will all work out in the end". Sounds like a good thing. |
