A thoughtful and proactive approach to life, presented in a relatable and practical way. In this concise book, Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy lay out a step-by-step method for developing a life plan—a living document intended to help you map out how to get from where you are to where you want to go.
Hyatt and Harkavy don’t go into the finer points of mindset or success coaching in this book, and that’s what makes it so accessible. It’s written for anyone who has goals and would like to be remembered well. It’s written for parents and teachers and CEOs and entrepreneurs…even students. Truly, any adult can read this book and walk away with a written plan and the tools to execute it.
Because of my coaching background, much of the content felt familiar, but the planning was still a powerful exercise. Creating a life plan made me take a hard look at my priorities, my career, and my direction in a new light. And it’s such a quick read—I can’t believe I put it off for even a few months.
I chose to read this book at the top of the year, but it is certainly a powerful read at any time of year. Regardless of when you begin this book or your life plan, because the plan is a living document, there is no need to confine this read to a specific time. Honestly, now is the best time. Whenever now is for you.
If you choose to read this book (and you should—everyone should), commit to doing the work alongside your reading. I believe there is value in doing the work right away, while the content is fresh in your mind, and I promise you won’t be disappointed when you complete your life plan and feel a renewed sense of direction and intentionality.
