I definitely recommend this book to everyone! I found it to be extremely inspirational and uplifting. If only there were more people who lived their lives with the same outlook as Eric DelaBarre.
135 dog ears

When I finished reading this book, I looked back and counted the dog ears I had made on a page whenever Eric made a point or statement that I thought I'd someday want to refer to. There were 135 of them. He just seemed to hit the nail on the head with every example, every lesson. What a gift; I'll read it again and again...

Why Not Start Living Your Life Today Eric Delabarre (a professional writer and director of television and film) is a superbly presented self-help guide which focuses the reader's attention upon life and its challenges, rather than detrimentally dwelling upon life's distractions, anxieties, and stresses. Simple exercises, solid advice, and shining inspiration that arises from a thoroughly "reader friendly" text, make Why Not Start Living Your Life Today a can-do, upbeat testimony and a welcome addition to Personal Growth, Self-Help, and Self-Improvement reading lists.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It is easy to read, full of insights, and it is entertaining as well. As a big plus, it will help those of us who are searching for something more in our lives. It is a great "how to" book, complete with exercises for your mind, and a step-by-step road map to success.
I usually just read fiction - but this is good stuff...

I don't read a lot of motivational/self-help books. So when my friend recommended this book I was skeptical. I was expecting to get stuck at Chapter 2 with the typical doctoral psycho babble of this genre. But this book is different. I flew through it. It's written with a conversational tone and offers fun anecdotes and witty insights. It honestly gets you thinking about your choices and life in general. No small feat. I liked how the author uses his own search for answers to help explain and define his whole philosophy for better living. Even if you don't like this kind of book, this one is worth trying out.
