Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The idea that we might regret our life choices when we get older is common among people in middle age and even young adulthood. We can easily imagine that we’ll be sorry about it someday if we don’t make a change.

#2 We all have regrets, and it's impossible to live a life without any regrets. But it is possible to make changes that take us off the easy path of immersing ourselves in the ordinary and the immediate and onto a more intentional path that leads to a life that satisfies and resonates beyond our own mortal existence.

#3 The most important thing for me is to live an intentional, meaningful life. I want to show you what you need to clear away from your life to transition to more intentional living.

#4 The Things That Matter survey found that 70 percent of respondents said they had a clear purpose for their lives. If you’re part of this group, great! But if not, don’t worry. The book will help you refine your purpose.
