General Review
This self help book is a must-read for anyone who is looking for solutions to their problems that are not too lengthy but powerful enough to inspire change. The author does a great job of cutting through the fluff and getting to the heart of most matter in both departments of personal and professional.
One point that stuck out was the concept of creating happiness rather than chasing it. Most people tend to chase happiness being unaware that the things they already have were once the things they dreamt of in a different time.
Another point was the concept of fear being a physiological sensation defined by our thoughts about something that is a perceived danger. The author was efficient in explaining how the sensations we feel about something unfamiliar don’t have to mean what we think it means and instead we can redefine the feelings we have into something positive rather than negative.
The most popular statement the author made about fear was “if you let fear limit your actions, you are allowing it to be more important that what you are trying to accomplish.”
That statement is amongst the most powerful the author makes in this book as most people let their fears and misconceptions about reality cloud their judgment and priorities in life. They let trivial matters blind them to the bigger picture and hinder their progress toward mastery in their most desired professions.
It is that statement, among others, that readers should take to heart completely and constantly ask themselves “are my fears more important than my destiny?”
Personal Review
This book is great to have a physical copy of rather than a digital one. It serves as a reminder that you have greater things to achieve and that they are more important than any doubts or misconceptions about reality you may have regarding your dreams and aspirations.
I read both fiction and self-help and right now this book is right up my alley as a reader and it is definitely something I will be going back to at various points in my writing and life journey. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ways to get out of their head and start participating in life.
One more point the author makes I failed to mention is the one about creating the environment that brings you happiness and it is in his strategy regarding bad moods. If you are in a slump constantly, then it is time to take stock of your environment and take note of when you feel negativity.
This is of the highest importance in my opinion because most times it isn’t even you, it’s the environment you’re in that’s draining the life out of you and tainting your perspective. We as humans can feel other people’s emotions, energies, and intentions when we’re around them and this is especially true in the work environment.
If you have a job where the vibe is negative, bleak, or outright chaotic and this is a consistent theme then perhaps it’s time to consider a job change or a career change.
And that’s where this book by Benjamin Ritter comes into play.
I recommend it wholeheartedly!
