Business coach Haddon provides a useful and insightful guide for readers
who want a more meaningful, independent, and autonomous life. The
author takes a practical approach to evaluating the reader’s current
circumstances, setting goals, and developing plans to reach them.
Starting with a discussion of values and definitions of success, the
book lays the groundwork for a thoughtful evaluation of one’s life.
Nothing is out of bounds as the book tackles work and home life,
recreation and family, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and much more. Haddon
devotes significant attention to the tendency of many people to place
work at the center of their life, which raises questions about a job’s
influence on one’s health, family, relationships, and satisfaction with
life in general. Every chapter includes exercises that build throughout
the book to ultimately become a plan for making changes that will have a
real and lasting impact. This book doesn’t break new ground, but it
does present a helpful approach to evaluating and improving one’s
quality of life. VERDICT Recommended for readers who are looking to make
quality-of-life adjustments in their professional and personal lives.
