Drawing from the true stories and experiences of the 1.5 million registered users of 43things.com, a Webby Award–winning social networking site, Dream It. List It.

Fundamental to the whole enterprise are the book's Ten Rules for Creating and Conquering a Life List, including #4 Maintain Between 20 and 43 Goals, #7 Make Your List Public, and #9 Document Progress. whether it's playing the piano, learning how to do a handstand, cooking a perfect paella—or something much more central to one's life, like "Be more spontaneous"—just putting a desired goal on your list is like shouting "Yes, I can!”"

What a great book to have right at the end of a project of things I've never done, to refresh my list with hundreds more things to try in this lifetime. I think I will have this book the rest of my life, and can really imagine running through the sprinklers when I am 80 and checking that off. I flipped through every page, read every item and circled hundreds out of the thousands to build my new life list. I am sure as I knock more off, more will get circled, but this serves as a great foundation for the next stage in exploring my life. I was also pleased that there were things I could say I have knocked off like eating Sushi in Tokyo and exploring the Mayan ruins of Mexico, and even trying acupuncture! This book will be a gift book for me for a long time. It is inspiring and I am certain that everyone will be able to find more than 43 things to complete. I am certain that this will be my new jumping off point for plenty of "I've never" projects the rest of my life! This book rocks!

This book was kinda motivational. I love making lists but I don't make them for life goals because the I never check things off that list. When I was in my teens I had life goals and I've achieved the majority of them with some exceptions. Those were the things I renegotiated with myself or decided was no longer a goal. But according to the 43things.com folks, I can work towards new goals and they have resources to help me think things through and develop/use tools to help me achieve my goals.

I haven't signed up to 43things yet. I'm not sure that I'm ready to, but I have started thinking about what my list looks like. And my list is all about learning things. Not because I'll make more money or because it's essential knowledge. It's learning because I want too. So simple. That's the way things used to be for me. I liked learning because I liked knowing. Somewhere along the way I lost that and "Dream It. List It. Do It!" reminded me of that.

I'm glad to see that other people have rated it highly.

I have to say that, having been on 43Things for 3 1/2 years, I don't feel that this book really captures what's wonderful about the site. That's the communication back and forth between participants as we work toward our goals and support each other.

I hope the book brings people to the site. It's a great place to set your priorities and to achieve your goals.

Comprehensive and brilliantly compiled bucket list of life dreams goals and passion. Minus one star as the breadth is too wide to be accomplished within a single life-time. Some goals are contradictory as well. For instance, "get divorced" vs "stay happily married" and "establish boundaries" vs "practice forgiveness"

Türkçe çevirisi Hayal et, listele, yap, Butik yayıncılık.
Bir listeler kitabı demek belki daha doğru.. Birçok farklı alanda ilham verici ve motive edici listelerden oluşuyor. Kendi yapılacaklar listeme aldığım birçok yeni madde oldu.. Keyifle okudum.

Disappointed. Just a book of lists. Better to go to the actual website!

[Sarah Monaghan · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this book, but I have to admit, I did expect something more. For the most part, it's mostly lists of suggested goals - grouped into different types - taken from the old 43things.com website.

There's very little in the way of suggestions on how to actually achieve your goals, or anything of any real substance.

I think the main use of the book comes as a result of the fact that the 43things.com website no longer exists; were it still around, then it would be easy enough to go online and browse for ideas for your own list; as it is, this is a helpful reference to begin your own life list - but really, nothing more than that.

This is a really fun book of lists! There are things in here I forgot or didn't even know I wanted/needed to do until I saw it in here. I've read through all the lists and marked which I've accomplished & which I don't want to do. Now its time to start checking things off haha
May take a couple of weeks or years (some of these seem like lifelong decisions), and others seem just a one day reflection, but it will be fun to try and it helps you understand yourself a little better, maybe even set some goals for yourself if your not sure where you are right now 😊

Went in for a reread on this one. I miss 43 Things so much! It was such a clarifying and motivating part of my teenage years 🫶 So glad I bought this book so many years ago before they shut down the site!

This book was a compilation from a website where people were encouraged to list their dreams. The community could then offer tips and advice for the original poster to help them achieve their goal. Other people could then use that person's success as inspiration to complete their own dreams. And so on. At least, I think that was the purpose of the site. Since this book was published, the website was taken down.

This is the problem with creating books that tie into a website. People's priorities change. The internet changes. All that's left now that the website is gone is a list of things people want to do. Occasionally they share a success excerpt from the site, but these are few and far between. If I had paid for this book, I would have been very disappointed. Open this book only if you're hard pressed to find a new goal on your own.

Whenever my SO buys me a gift without being prompted, I always treasure it because of the thought and intention behind it. He never gives a gift without intention. This little book was given to me in my stocking this Christmas and it's basically just a chubby book of lists (pulled from the website 43things.com) to inspire you to live and do wonderful things.

Lists are very helpful. And addictive. I loved this little book not only because of the loving thought behind it, but because it's also damn useful. And fun to peruse and think about. I'll likely go through it again and highlight the things I have already done (which will be neat to see pop off the page at me.) Then in a year or so I'll go through it again and see if there is anything new to add.

Definitely a keeper.

[Mark · Rating 2 out of 5]

There is one piece of valuable information in the entire book, and it comes at the very beginning. The book claims that the first factor in successful goal completion is to make your goals public. Read that, then ask yourself where you stand on this. If you realize that self-directed action, not public goal lists, is the crucial factor, you don't need the rest of the book; if you agree with with authors, the rest of the book won't be enough for you.

[Sonia · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wouldn't say that I necessarily enjoy making lists but it is definitely something that I found myself doing a lot of anyway so I decided to pick up this book to give myself a little more structure. I liked it for what it was. It wasn't as organized I thought it would be but that's okay it made it's point and for all those list making geeks out there I'd recommend you take a look at this book.

[Rica · Rating 3 out of 5]

I am a huge fan of (and, off and on, an active participant in) the goal-setting Web site on which this book is based. But the book itself disappointed me. I suppose it might make a decent introduction for someone completely unfamiliar with the site or its concept. Otherwise, I'd rather hang out at the site and interact with other participants.

[Kara · Rating 1 out of 5]

Not at all what I was expecting.

Instead of advice on how to organize your stuff/wants/needs/dreams it gives list after list of ides - every thing from the ordinary (go to the library) to the criminal (pour food dye in a public pool) to the outright impossible (develop Wolverine powers).

No advice on how to do any of it, and no advice on how to follow your own dreams.

[Buster Benson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the book that we wrote using the content on 43things.com. We just got the advance copies and am looking through it and loving it. It comes out on Christmas Day, for late gifting apparently.

[kamxx · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book will help your life to be more meanigful! Some of the goals are funny that I can imagine how I look like! I love this. I recommend this to humanity!

[Erica · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting premise. Some things have already been done, some are waiting to be done. It gives you some good ideas on what you might want to accomplish in you life.
