8 Essential Exchanges: What You Have to Give Up to Go Up

by Kevin Paul Scott

Every choice is a value statement. Exchanges aren't about choices between good and bad decisions. Those are easy. The most important exchanges are between really good things and even better things. Those are much harder, but they shape our lives in disproportionate ways. In this book, Kevin Paul Scott identifies eight clear and challenging choices. He calls them exchanges because we give up something important when we choose something even more important. These are choices that confront every person almost every day. When we make them, we experience more fulfillment and have a greater impact than we ever dreamed possible.

Although I didn't want to hear about the sacrifices required to become a better person, teacher, writer, etc., I appreciate the encouragement I found in this book. It is not easy to get better, and Scott does not sugar coat it. This is something needed though. He basically says that life is hard, and you get to choose what kind of hard.
