Product Description
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 do: 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 questions:
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Will Help You Change Your Life, September 22, 2007

By	Mark D. Warpmaeker "Use Your Strengths" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Reggie McNeal does an incredible job of helping you find what may be stopping you from living the life you were created to live. He does this without overbearing or simplistic arguments like some purpose driven books. Instead he uses simple stories and exercises that highlight the importance of building on your God given strengths, skills, and experiences and finding ways to get around those people, situations, and habits that keep stopping you short. As he says in the introduction, who wouldn't want to live? apparently a lot of people. I highly recommend this book used in conjunction with Living Your Strengths or Strength Finder 2.0 both from Gallup Press. They have helped me and many of the people I work with.
