This book has been incredibly helpful to me. It walks you through exercises to determine your values, needs, responsibilities, priorities, and goals. Also includes a section on life purpose. It also has valuable tips for getting perspectives, calming, and prioritizing, and doesn't get long-winded or preachy. After completing the exercises and looking at the chart I'd made, I was able to see in a quick glance where I was on top of the things that are important, where I needed to make more of an effort, and where less. If you feel like your life is out of control, this book will help you get it back under your control.

Great, practical strategies for identifying what's important to you and how to make time for it. There are a lot of exercises, so you really need to make time to thoughtfully do these in order to get a thorough analysis of your situation. It really helps me when I make decisions about my time - if I do this, I need to devote less time to something else. And it helped me come up with more creative solutions to my time: eg finding a job closer to home so I can bike to work and get in more exercise while commuting.

If you've already gone through an overall life assessment and have a good sense of your goals and aspirations, this book can help you take a fresh look at the total balance.
