I had the good fortune to know and work with Robert more than a decade ago. If you feel you are sleepwalking through your life, Robert's tough/tender book will jolt you.

"Living an Extraordinary Life" was written to help you find happiness and fulfillment within your life.
It is written around a framework of three concepts that need to be worked on in order for us to achieve our goals. These concepts are: Awareness, Responsibility and Communication. White teaches you how to apply these concepts into your life so that you can find your true purpose and achieve your goals.
White uses eye catching chapter titles, lists of the differences between ordinary people and extraordinary people, and meaningful quotes to get you thinking about what is coming in the chapter. White also points out behaviors and thought patterns that we tend to have that keep us just "ordinary" and not very happy.
He discusses what extraordinary people do to keep themselves at that higher level. A lot has to do with how we deal with a situation. An extraordinary person can be going through a rough time, like us, but how they process what they are going through tends to be very different from what we are processing.
Everything that he writes makes so much sense. This is the type of book that will take you some time to read. It is also a good to time to be journaling what you are thinking and feeling. I know that this book has changed my life. It is up to me to continue to work on what I need to, so that I stay at this higher level.
"Living an Extraordinary Life" is a keeper, do not let this book out of your hands. You will want to read it again at many points in your life. If you want a friend to read it, which you will, buy them a copy and hold on to yours! --Paige Lovitt for Reader Views
