Get a Life!: It Is All About You

by Reggie McNeal

When was the last time you took a long look at you and had an honest, helpful discussion with yourself about you? Failure to do that might cause you to miss out on the life you were created for. Here is your chance for the conversation of a lifetime. In Get a Life! It IS All About You , author Reggie McNeal says, "God had you in mind when he made you." With that truth, McNeal invites us to take responsibility for the hardest thing we'll ever really live. In dialogue with readers, he puts a spotlight on the need to intentionally examine our lives on a regular basis, making sure that we are living our level best at every moment and in all regards, from relationships and career to community and faith. Specifically, he explains in detail the importance of always coming back to these five
1. Why am I here?
2. What is really important to me?
3. What is my scorecard?
4. What am I really good at?
5. What do I need to learn? These are the five questions you must ask before you live.

[Adam Townsend · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found a lot of the book to be basically good advice, but nothing that I haven't read before. I most enjoyed chapter 4 about playing to our strengths. I found this to be a very good chapter that is a somewhat different perspective than what most people take. Overall this was an okay book and while I have nothing bad to say about it, I do not know if I would recommend it to others as a must read.
