Description

"Inspired me to ask myself why and to stop postponing the forgotten dreams." —Geneen Roth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Women Food and God and This Messy Magnificent Life

Full of inspirational insights and advice, lifehacks, and real-world examples, Someday is Not a Day in the Week is CEO Sam Horn’s motivational guide to help readers get what they want in life today rather than "someday."


Are you:
• Working, working, working?
• Busy taking care of everyone but yourself?
• Wondering what to do with the rest of your life?
• Planning to do what makes you happy someday when you have more time, money, or freedom?

What if someday never happens? As the Buddha said, “The thing is, we think we have time.”
Sam Horn is a woman on a mission about not waiting for SOMEDAY ... and this is her manifesto. Her dad’s dream was to visit all the National Parks when he retired. He worked six to seven days a week for decades. A week into his long-delayed dream, he had a stroke. Sam doesn’t want that to happen to you. She took her business on the road for a Year by the Water. During her travels, she asked people, “Do you like your life? Your job? If so, why? If not, why not?”

The surprising insights about what makes people happy or unhappy, what they’re doing about it (or not), and why...will inspire you to carve out time for what truly matters now, not later.

Life is much too precious to postpone. It’s time to put yourself in your own story. The good news is, there are “hacks” you can do right now to make your life more of what you want it to be. And you don’t have to be selfish, quit your job, or win the lottery to do them. Sam Horn offers actionable, practical advice in short, snappy chapters to show you how to get started on your best life — now.

I love reading self help books that focus on productivity, so I wasn't really sure if this book will give me any new information that I haven't read before, but I really appreciate all Sam's anecdotes and exercises. The book taught me some valuable lessons, I've read it a few weeks before the New Year's and I've being applying some of the techniques on the book ever since.

Great book. I have learned how I can be more playful, purposeful, and passionate about my life, not someday but now. This is the book to give you that push. I was truly inspired and decided to make big changes.

What a refreshing alternative to all the other "live in the now" guides out there! I consider myself an "advanced student" on this topic, and wasn't sure I'd gain much from another such guide, and was pleasantly surprised, I thought I was living my best life and focusing on my goals, when in reality, I probably knew in my heart that I'm not making my passions a priority on a regular basis. Sam Horn's guidance lit a fire under me, particularly with the new yer only a few weeks away!

What I appreciate most about her approach is the way she breaks life down into chunks, and peels back the veil to show the reader how we are waiting for Someday to arrive. She provides small, achievable tips for how to go after what you want each day, without necessarily feeling like you're making a huge drastic change. There are several exercises designed to walk us through evaluating our happiness and see how we're actually spending our time. The author uses casual language and personal anecdotes, along with examples from other people in her life, to demonstrate the concepts she is describing.

I can't wait for this book to come out in physical form so I can have a copy and gift it to friends!

I have two favorite self help books, The Secret By Rhonda Byrne and You Are a Badass By Jen Sincero. Now, I have three favorite self help book including Someday Is Not a Day in the Week. Every chapter and section of this book was easily relatable and easy to connect with the advice Sam Horn gives throughout the book. Before reading this book, I was one of those that thought Someday i'll try this or I'll get to it Someday but as Buddha says what if someday never comes and all you'll have is regret. Now, I am inspired to make someday today and even while working start on one of those things that got put off as someday while we think we have all the time in the world but the truth is we don't and thanks to this book, I think I'll try those things right now!

Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. We will definitely have a home for this book in our Self-Help section at our library. That is why we definitely give this book 5 stars.
