5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect Outline for the Future, June 23, 2004

This review is from: Me: Five Years from Now: The Life-Planning Book You Write Yourself! (Paperback)

This book is perfect for people who enjoy lists and controlling their destinies. It clearly outlines a plan for the next five years of your life.

If you are a person who plans things and never finishes them this book may work perfectly for you by helping to guide you towards an actual goal. The book contains a strategy for changing your life in regards to relationships, finances, careers and community involvement. Once completed you have an organized chart to follow and lean on during times when life gets off-track.

The only problem with this book is that it takes commitment to complete....and if you could stay committed and focused in the first place why would you need a book to point you towards your goals. With that said I still believe this book is an excellent source for discovering your goals and setting the groundwork for a great future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Provides an organized method, good starter book..., November 26, 2000

This review is from: Me: Five Years from Now: The Life-Planning Book You Write Yourself! (Paperback)

First thing I will admit that I did not pay much for this book... so I may not be the most critical of it.. However, I thought this book provided a nice place to write the goals and my reasons for leading up to them. It provides pages where you can list pros and cons on a topic and then circle those that are most important and that you can change. I liked how the book let you jump around... I have only used a few areas so far, and I think that the same approach for all areas may grow tedious.. However, I think it is getting me started and helping me to identify issues that are playing on my decision process...

I think I may outgrow this book.. but is a good place to start.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing more than what you already ask yourself..., July 23, 2000

I now understand that I bought this book attracted by its title. Great marketing approach! Compliments to author and editor. The contents itself is quite trivial as it proposes to focus on a list of questions that everyone had already asked himself. Moreover, it does not give much help to find answers (assuming that the the individual has hard time to find those answers) and does not give help to execute on actions. Bottom line: there are much better books than this. For example it cannot compare to Keith Ellis MAGIC LAMP (great!).
