The Half-Life: What Matters Most When You're Running Out of Time

 The Half-Life: What Matters Most When You're Running Out of Time, Ryan Lindner

 

Suffering two heart attacks in your 30's, despite being in excellent health, can really change a person's outlook on life. That's what happened to the author of this book.

 

For some people, life is all about getting honors and accolades, and being able to put letters after their name. Is that all there is? Is it more important than being a decent and considerate person? After you are dead, will people remember your awards, or will they remember what sort of person you were?

 

Are you waiting for the "perfect time" to start working on a personal goal? There is no "perfect time," there is only "now." As with any goal, make it specific, measurable and achievable. Put a time limit on it, and break it up into smaller pieces. Every day, resolve to do at least one goal-oriented thing. Start tomorrow.

 

This book covers a lot of areas. It may require more than one reading to "get" this book, but it is time very well spent. Perhaps this will help you to get out of your emotional "rut."
