Book Review ~ "Living Your Passion"

Book Review

“Living Your Passion” by Keith Abraham

Let’s start off my book reviews with the book I started my year off with.

This book was a really fun read.  It really set up the year for me on how to be more focused and forward with my goals and dreams. Honestly at this point I can’t manage to remember all the details. I do remember bringing this book around, going out to breakfast with it, to functions, reading it early in the morning.

So about the book itself.

What’s your passion? I never really did think of this question. I just assumed a lot about what liked. Some of them because others assumed them for me I suppose, but that’s the fun part. Getting to know the parts of you that might have been overlooked. How often do we have a presumed flaw or lacking, only to see others find it a unique strength of ours?  Besides, you really learn what you really want in life if you apply yourself into the book. That’s your passion.

For me I’ve seen that my passion was not really fully into teaching, but rather helping and mentoring. I’m actually quite terrible at explaining stuff (I tend to overcomplicate or oversimplify). Instead, I find myself really into encouraging and motivating others, as well as providing help for those who need it. (typical melancholic/phlegmatic I suppose).

There are 5 parts to this book.

1. Ponder your purpose

2. Pinpoint your passion

3. Produce your plan

4. Progress your development

5. Pursue your passion

It’s great that this book gets you to start thinking, and sets you up with a plan of action.

I’m also coming to terms with what kind of goals do I want to set in my life. There have been changes in the direction, and definitely the ending line.

At this point in the previous year, I wasn’t reading a whole lot of books to be honest. This book set me up to roll on and complete 24 books so far at this point of the year. What could it do for you? 

So a little about the author.

Keith Abraham is a motivational speaker, author, and performance coach.

He published this book in 2004.

I find his writing clear, humorous and relatable.

His client list really speaks for itself too.
