Build the Life You Want

Book Review  

 

 

Arthur Brooks
Nonfiction 3.5/5*

I listened to the audio version of this book. I find that if I am listening to a self help/motivational book I should get the hard cover because I want to highlight some statements or reread certain parts.

His key to realize: it is impossible to be happy all of the time so we should strive to be happier. He discussed having a balance between:

• Self and doing for others
• Work and home life 

We need to work on making good friends and maintaining them. The older we get the more difficult it can be. We need to look at the satisfaction that we receive from our job. Can we make changes to improve this? He gives some good advice about several topics.
