“You Get One Shot At Life–Aim for success: Secrets of living a meaningful life” is a self-help book served in a very facile way to make readers understand the importance of life and make a worth of it.This book holds the potential to let you know your potential.

As the back cover says ‘Would you like for your life to be an exhilarating journey rather than a routine, boring experience? Do you want to have more of the passionate feelings that make us feel alive? Wouldn’t you like to know that your life has meaning and significance ? You get one shot for life: Aim for Success is an invaluable resource for anyone who desires to live a more fulfilling and successful life.

  • The 7 basic principles of success
  • The 8 great emotional dangers of life

  • 15 ways to live a more meaningful life

  • 20 ways to develop a winning edge

  • Insights into making sense of ourselves and the world”

Through the title one can easily catch what the content it holds.And if not, the perfect blurb would do the work.As precise the title, as precise is the cover design.Simple but accurate.

The very motive of the author behind writing this book is to see the readers reach the next level of his/ her life which he portrayed in this book in same or another way to glue this sentence permanently in readers’s mind ,and to make his/ her mind yearn for the next goal or a new path he/ she wants to travel on.In this book, he worked to make understand readers that life without a goal is nothing.Setting a goal gives life a heart where goal could be anything from digging a hole to reaching the stars.

The author talked about simple things but so important that plays a vital role in life.I felt every statement worth and this book ruled my heart.Not so full-of-philosphical-thoughts book it is, but it just talk about yours and mine, and everyone’s life. The book is written in a friendly manner so that readers could find their space of comfort and get meaning out of it.

Once I started reading this book, I couldn’t take my attention off it.Author’s approach to bring a motive to everyone’s life is portrayed more in the form of stories.He very well knows that people get more inspired when they learn from someone’s else story.Philosphy and thoughts once read can be forgotten very easily.But, the impression lasted by story remains forever. The contents have been arranged in a flow.The author knows well when to put a question and when to suggest what is right and what is wrong.He has not played with thoughts by some great people in the book.He has simply portrayed his own thoughts in a simple yet effective manner.

All in all, a really inspirational and helpful book to me which I like to read again and again.

Rating: 4.8/5
