Have you ever gone through life at what feels like highway speeds? Do you feel as though your life has no promise or value? Do you find yourself in situations where you feel a lack of control? How to Live a Good Life is a self-help book on finding your center. It is written by a man named Johnathan Fields.

The book proper uses three main arc chapters in the form of buckets. These ideas are trademarked, but I think it is only if you call them that. It is no big deal though.

There are three buckets. Vitality for your personal well-being, Connection for interpersonal relationships, and Contribution for how you affect the world. The ideas require a great deal of self-exploration. It presents believable scenarios that could resonate with you. Waking up to an alarm is something that many people must go through. However, what follows is a sad life of wakefulness. Why would you want to live a life where you are beholden to everyone and have nothing to yourself?

The book uses a collection of anecdotes, science, and folksy wisdom to enlighten and entertain. The book was printed in 2016, but it doesn’t have information that can be dated, instead offering timeless wisdom and practical advice. The ultimate goal of the book is to engender joy and satisfaction with your life. I think it does a pretty good job of all of that.

That's where I feel like Mr. Fields' insights have challenged me to run down the path of discovery of being my own Career Renegade. This book has been a catalyst in my own effort, and I can see how it is worth the read for others also seeking a jump start.… (mais)

Helpful info, but I'm still in my job, so it wasn't a miracle worker.
