Planning a life of prosperity is not without its hardships. As the world continues to become busier (and more stressful), it’s intimidating for folks of all backgrounds to create a structure of success with the daunting obstacles seemingly laid ahead. Additionally, what is success without fulfillment, as many folks are financially successful but feel lacking where they should feel triumph? While having it all, like financial security, career fulfillment, and happiness, seems impossible, it was inspiring to learn that it is not. Eyal N. Danon’s Principle of 18 provides a structure to obtain peace of mind and fulfill a need for purpose for one’s life. This plan encourages dreams big and plenty; and with comforting reassurance, Danon urges us to accomplish everything in our wildest dreams.
Each section is broken into five archetypes: the Dreamer; the Explorer; the Builder; the Mentor; and the Giver. Each role contributes to the idea of cultivating, maintaining community, and connecting generations, which is the throughline of this book. The eighteen years between each archetype allows for the implementation of significant, lasting change. Two concepts (details distinct to each archetype) are the North Star and Transition Plan, which are key concepts to being successful in your life plan, whatever that may be. While this is not specific to any specialty or expertise, it provides guideposts of what to consider and who to turn to during these points in our lives. This book was especially refreshing, as it was healthy in setting boundaries in every approach. However, it still emphasized the need for discipline and hard work. Rather, it acknowledged that life is not clear-cut, and each phase allows for reinvention. There is room for adjustment, as anyone of any age can adapt the principle to their particular stage in life. While others may dread being “older” and “behind,” this is not the way in which Danon sees it. In a gentle encouragement, Danon writes: “No matter where you are now, you know more than you did when you started out, which means [...] you’ll be ahead of the game.”
This book is perfect for anyone wondering how they may reach concrete goals in their life without shame. There is no overcoming competition, but rather, focusing on how to be the best version of ourselves while creating a life of joy, as “life is meant to be enjoyed right now, wherever you are in your journey.” A life without regret and worry is possible. We are all the bamboo plant moso, containing the incredible potential to succeed and grow, and we deserve to give ourselves the right conditions to do so. And with Danon, we learn which direction to go from here.
