Summary

As humans, we get to choose what we believe and who we want to be. This book is a ruthlessly pragmatic guide to creating your own answers to life's biggest questions.

Each of this book's four chapters covers one of the most important questions a person must ask themselves: What is the purpose of my life? How can I best realize the purpose of my life? Who do I want to be? How do I want other people to think of me?

Rather than give you answers to these questions, this guide provides a framework that helps you develop your own answers while equipping you with the neuroscientific tools necessary to transform yourself into whomever you choose to be.

If you are looking for an easy-listening book that will make you feel good about yourself, this isn't the book for you. If you want to take the time to think hard, take full ownership of the person you have allowed yourself to become, and permanently transform yourself into the best iteration of that person then you have found your book.

Prepared to be poked in the eye (painfully)

I love and hate how much this book made me realise I'm wasting my life on pointless goals. The various imaginary situations that have helped me identify my intrinsic values shaken me to the core. I bow low to you guys for writing the best guide that has helped me find who I truly am not who society wants me to be.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
