Description

There's not one person alive who hasn't confronted their own mortality. Each of us, at some point, wakes up to the reality that our time on Earth is limited. But how do we lead our lives with a sense of urgency every day? How do we develop the courage to make choices not based on pressure but on principle? How do we create the sacred space to reflect on who we are and who we want to be so we can realize our innermost goals and dreams?

What Will They Say About You When You're Gone? points the way. Esteemed Rabbi Daniel Cohen will help you rise above the distractions to tap into the best version of yourself. Through a unique blend of storytelling, practical exercises, and profound wisdom, he will teach you seven transformative principles to reverse engineer your life so that you are living with purpose and passion, so that the person you are today more closely aligns with the person you aspire to be.

As Rabbi Cohen takes you through the eye-opening process, he provides jumping-off points, including asking yourself questions such as:

What would you do if you had 24 hours to live? Why?

What is worth fighting for?

In your life so far, what did you take a risk for or go out of your comfort zone for?

You have five words to write on your headstone. What are they?

When you're feeling low, what is the song you play to lift your mood and inspire you? Why?

Is there a phrase that you find yourself saying frequently when you're under stress? When you're happy or grateful?

What is you favorite bible verse?

By reflecting on questions like these and on other significant elements in your life, you can crystallize your ideal self, expressing what you secretly hope others see in you and harnessing this guiding light for realizing your life potential.

The journey to transformation starts with the Seven Principles for Reverse Engineering Your Life:

Principle No. 1: Discover Your Elijah Moment

Principle No. 2: Make Courageous Choices

Principle No. 3: Seize Meditative Moments

Principle No. 4: Create Memories

Principle No. 5: Find Faith

Principle No. 6: Live Inspired

Principle No. 7: Discover Your Renewable Energy
