I liked this book and it has a lot of good information. It's a little overwhelming at times just taking it all in but, it's worth it because is a wealth of information. ( )

I found this book to be a waste of time personally. It doesn't speak to anything past common sense, and the writing style is difficult to read and follow. The author clearly has good intentions, and even makes a good point on occasion. I would not recommend this book to my friends. ( )

This book is full of examples of how to make your life a life that is beneficial to you AND the rest of the world. The four exercises at the end of every chapter make the reader think about his/her life and how they could make it better, not just more successful. As the author asks at the end, "Will you be remembered for having made the world a better place"? This book tells you how. I highly recommend it!

When I first started this book, I was expecting something like Good to Great by Jim Collins, or The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven R. Covey -- both good books that are self-help, with good insights, which can be used for personal improvement, but include a strong business bent. This book was not quite what I was anticipating. It does include a business bent, but it's a little broader in scope than most books like it, and the advice is excellent.

I was blessed to receive an early reviewer copy of this, and I can say with all honesty that I am delighted I did. The author is clearly a religious and spiritual man who is applying his personal beliefs (the kind of "this is how you ought to treat people" sensibilities that most religions agree with) to teaching people how to live in a way that will make them feel fulfilled and happy -- without having any kind of specific religion or even specific spiritual beliefs. It is very sensible and wise, and the examples he gives are useful and sweet.

I think this is a book that will make you feel good to read it -- and then want to DO good when you've finished it. It's not just a source of comfort, relaxation, and contentment -- it's also a spur to action and an increase in confidence that your life can and will mean something.

We all want to succeed, but we too frequently think success is going to give our lives meaning. How frequently do we hear the story of people who've destroyed their lives after great success -- or who felt their success was empty? What he's speaking about right here is MEANING, and teaching how to achieve this, with success, before succeeding, in your own personal and unique way.

I highly recommend this to people who feel the desperate need to succeed, who feel frustrated, or particularly who feel driven to succeed past the point of what is healthy.

I consider this a blessing, and I hope you will read it or give it to somebody who has need. ( )

I was happy to receive a copy of this book as part of the early reviewers program since I myself and having trouble defining what exactly I want my life to stand for in terms of success or significance.

I had hoped Dan Clark's book might provide some new thoughts on the matter of what it means to have a relevant life. Perhaps it is because I've read so many books of this type, or maybe because I've thought about the topic so much - whatever the reason I didn't find much helpful new thoughts or direction in this book.

There is a lot of disjunct information in this book loosely put into chapters, but I truly did not feel a cohesiveness in the writing that made it all stand strong together in support of choosing significance above success.

While a lot of the ideas are useful for places to begin thinking, I really thought this book could have been a lot shorter and more powerful with specific examples rather than the name dropping of famous people Mr. Clark knows.

The book felt more like an opportunity to cash in on a few good ideas than it did a worthwile book.

Perhaps others will find it more useful. ( )
