So I occasionally meander across the book store isles to something other than the paranormal or adventure novels. I even will pass the travel essay section (which, lets be honest, is one of the best places in the entire store) and I make my way over to the "Inspirational" or "Self-Help" section.
Due to a few twists and turns in my personal life, I ended up getting this book: "Life Is What You Make It" by: Peter Buffett.
I LOVED IT!!!
This book is full of advice that you feel like you tell yourself all the time, but either do not actually tell yourself or are too stubborn to follow your own advice.
I recommend that EVERYONE read this book. It is a fast read and worth the money in my book.
He starts out with a few reality checks. Making sure that your not going to stay stuck where ever you are because of some delusion you have. There are also a few chapters about the definitions that society puts on us and how they are hindering us. How we need to step outside of the box.
I must admit that a big reason that I related so well to this book was most likely because most of the life experience that he draws from is in trying to be a musician. I have no music ability, but I do/ have faced some of the same challenges in trying to be a writer.
Another thing that had me loving this book was that in the process of applying everything that He has learned in life to the general population, Mr. Buffett manages to also call us out as a society. He points out that having a life run purely by money is where a lot of people get held up. There is a call to not have material things and money be the driving force in life. I love it.
Read It.
