“There is a purpose to our lives, even if it is sometimes hidden
from us”
Huffington tries to express a way we can better grasp what
that purpose may be.
She explains there are three metrics that we should live our
lives on. A metric being something helping us to create a life of success.
The first two metrics she suggests are Money and Power. She
suggests that with only the two metrics by themselves you develop stress and
burnout.
You need the third to thrive. To thrive is to live a
healthy, balanced, and meaningful life.
The third she divides
up into four areas of: well-being, wisdom, wonder, and giving.
All three metrics together can lead you to having a successful
life, seems to be the point of this book.
Oprah has this in her book club. The book club is slanted to
female tastes. Some men may enjoy this book, but it is not slanted to the male
market, it seems to me.
This book is too general and feel good. In the area of
wisdom, for example, she mentions all faith systems as being equally valid. If
you are looking for her to have a belief system she bases her life on that is
sound, this is not the book for you. Her views seems to be whatever feels
right, do.
I was not required to like this book when I was sent it free
from blogging for books to be reviewed. All opinions are mine.
