Although I don't feel I was the intended target for this particular book, there were a few things that I will be able to adapt into my own life.

I received a copy of the book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review

I don't even know where to start so I'll start by saying this is a book you will definitely want to not only read but study and keep handy. And to think this was a book that I picked at random with the preconceived notions that I wouldn't enjoy it. Boy was I wrong. While reading I text two friends to share the book’s title and that the author’s writing style and message are so inspiring and I also posted a comment on Facebook. I read the book in one sitting and was so thankful for no interruptions.

This book will be a staple for anyone whether for business, finances, personal, relationships…just life in general. This is an amazing book that gives great pointers and thought provoking questions that will stick with you well after you finish reading. A great discussion piece because you can’t read good books alone, they require chit-chat sessions sharing thoughts and exchange of views.

I love the motorcycle riding to life concept. I've ridden motorcycles before but never would have compared riding a motorcycle parallel to having life goals and accomplishing them. I love the layout of the book, along with the thought provoking questions. The author didn't just write for reading pleasure he wrote so that the readers can receive the message as well as making sure readers take action. I related his writing style to what I imagine it feels like being present listening to one of his conferences.

Each chapter starts off with a catching sentence and then followed by in depth details. The questions, examples and quotes made me pause and mediate on how I can put into action giving 1% more each day, and not just living life but experiencing it. I enjoyed every chapter! I can’t even pick a favorite because I took away a lot from the entire book. I like that he wasn’t wordy, his message is to the point and that he gives practical guidance and various learning exercises that opened my mind to reflect as a consequence I can see myself on the right track to reach my fullest. I love the conclusion at the end of the book and how it gives a snippet of the information included in each chapter. I'm sure I'll be using this for a quick reference for now on.

I am thankful for the fresh pair of 3-D lenses. A collections of words that stands out to me is to live life actively, with intention and purposeful. There is so much I took from this book that I can implement into my life furthermore shifting into a higher gear. To name a few nuggets: no matter what I want it will require my best effort, to also recognize that small changes are just as potent as huge changes and each morning I'll be asking myself “Will I be better today than I was yesterday?”
