We are taught from a young age that in order to achieve great success we must set and achieve our goals. However, in doing so, we become focused on where we are going rather than enjoying where we are right now. We sacrifice today in the hope that a better future will emerge, only to discover that achievement rarely leads to true joy. Goal-Free Livingpresents an alternative philosophy —that we can have an extraordinary life now, all without goals and detailed plans. By living for each moment, it's possible to have a successful life and follow your passions at the same time. This amazing book shares the personal discovery of consultant Stephen Shapiro, who achieved professional success only to find that personal satisfaction remained elusive. He wanted to escape the treadmill of goal-chasing and find a way to make his life truly rewarding. So over 90 days, he drove 12,000 miles and interviewed 150 extraordinary people from all walks of life to learn how they lived fulfilling, happy lives. Shapiro argues that people who live goal-free lives are driven by their passion and he distills this philosophy into nine basic secrets that free you from your goals. Packed with true stories of ordinary people with extraordinary lives, the text shows you how to be successful on your own terms Presents a new philosophy for life in a counter-intuitive and simple guide for creating a passion-filled goal-free life now, rather than allowing society and expectations to define one's aspirations.
