MY THOUGHTS
I don't think anyone in this world enjoys 'live' books as much as I do. I've long been a proclaimer that you should shove as much joy and adventure into each day as possible. This is one of the most uplifting and motivating 'live' books that I've read to date. Hampton gets right to the point of the subject of each chapter with zeal and in a manner that will appeal to anyone. You don't have to be a genius to understand the concepts presented here.
Each chapter is short and to the point but also filled with several good examples as well as relevant quotes. Hampton pulls in everything from Carmelite nuns to pop culture references. No matter your background, each chapter is presented in a manner that will appeal to you, as a reader, personally.
Even if you're a 'live' junkie like I am, there's something important in this book for you. Of course, if you're a couch potato who goes to work, watches TV, and sleeps, I strongly recommend you read this book and pass it on to everyone you know. For me, it was a simple 'playing dumb' concept that struck me. Though I agreed with everything I read in the book, this concept really struck me because I'd been doing it and not even realizing it. Now I can take that and utilize it in the rest of my life. Read, read, and read!!!

The old grey donkey, Eeyore stood by himself in a thistly corner of the Forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about.
