by Arthur C. Brooks
This is a great book. A lot to unpack. It’s a good book to own and read once a year. This is the sort of book that provides different insights as you age. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Along the lines of different insights as you age. If you are still in your working career, there’s great advice here, so to if you are retired. I am retired, so I was pleased to see that Brooks addressed my situation with the same energy and thoughtfulness that he did for the career oriented reader.
I pickled up this title at the library because I enjoy reading Arthur Brooks’ contributions to The Atlantic magazine. I consider myself a fairly happy fellow. I’ve been fortunate to find a fair bit of meaning in my life, for that I am grateful. Still, I wanted to see what Brooks had to say on the subject. Based on his recommendations, I find myself doing a number of things well. The things that add meaning and happiness to a life. One can always do more — and I intend to, but reading Arthur’s book has given me confidence I’m doing a lot of things well. So what are those things? This is a book review, not a confession. I encourage you to grab a copy and dig in like I did. I think you will find it rewarding.
I also enjoy the reflection that is part of the journey.
