A phenomenal resource for growth
Morehouse has put together a great guide for those who want more out of life. Whether you're an artist, an entrepreneur, a student, or anything else, this book will help you reach your goals and learn about yourself. Morehouse's ability to clearly get his philosophy across in short, weekly lessons is a true gift, and the action items provided are the perfect way to fight our natural laziness. This book is a mixture of The War of Art and The 4-Hour Workweek, and it is meant for people who are ready to take control of their lives.

Here’s the review I wrote for my blog (www.fredonnawalkerblog.wordpress.com):
If you've been a reader of mine from the start of this blog, you know I started it in response to a 30-day writing challenge issued in the book Forward Tilt: An Almanac for Personal Growth by Isaac Morehouse. I have spent the past year working my way through the 52 entries and action items in this book and am finishing it up now.
Forward Tilt was written for young professionals just developing or launching their career; however, I found it insightful and inspiring even after 20+ years of professional experience. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to give their lifework a kick in the pants.
"Don't ever live life without being fully engaged." --Isaac Morehouse
I downloaded the book as an ebook, but after reading the first entry, "The Two Biggest Secrets to Success", I knew I wanted to study this book - not just read it. I printed it out so I could underline and highlight and take notes as I read and so I could journal about each action item in the notes section following each entry.
For the past year, I have read one entry each Monday morning and worked on the action item for that entry each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Some of the action items were very difficult because the concept was new to me and took me a while to process. Others were very easy because they were things I've been doing for many years.
Whether difficult or easy, all of the entries and activities helped me see myself, my life, and my career in a new light. Over the past year, I have made a lot of progress both personally and professionally, and much of it seems, to those around me, to have happened "out of the blue". It has not. It has been an intentional process, much of which has been guided by this book.
I found this to be such a valuable experience that I am going to work my way through this book again. Want to join me? Get a free copy here.

"Endings aren't really endings. They're beginnings. An ending is signaled by the termination of something, but really it's an opening up of a space, in which you can start something new. "
After 52 weeks being empowered by this book, this final phrase had a tremendous impact on me. Praxis has changed my life and this book was a way to keep me connected to this awesome mindset.
I'll always remember the lessons. I'm committed to being the best version of myself every day.
I'm forever grateful.

I read though the whole guide first. It's full of actionable tips. I'm going to go through the exercises week by week as suggested.
