Book Reviews of 2DO Before I Die : The Do-It-Yourself Guide to the Rest of Your Life
Book Review: Great Guide
Summary: 4 Stars
I actually bought this book after I had already started my "life list." I was going through a period in my life when I was trying to re-discover what I wanted to do with my life, who I was. I thought it might help me make sense of why I wanted to do some of these things so badly, or maybe make some suggestions I wouldn't have thought of. It did both.
"2Do Before I Die" has a total of 100 stories/suggestions, split up into 10 different categories: Roots, Explore, Experiment, Challenge, Give, Learn, Express, Love, Work, & Legacy. After each section, there is a "winding road" of questions, such as: "Is there anything from your childhood you feel you should apologize for?" or "Name one thing you wish you had done more of when you were a teenager." (Roots) "If you used a false name, what might it be?" or "Name something you would like to try that would surprise someone you know." (Experiment) I kept a notebook/journal as I read this, answering the questions. It was very insightful & helpful.
This book also includes the author's reason for writing this, ways to start, and even a place for you to create your own list in the back. Part journal, part inspiration, part guide, this is a fabulous book you can read over & over, and take away something different each time. As we grow, our answers and lists may change, and "2Do Before I Die" helps you along the way.
Summary of 2DO Before I Die : The Do-It-Yourself Guide to the Rest of Your Life
What experiences will you remember most of all? And what do you have left to do? These are the questions asked in 2DO BEFORE I DIE: The Do-It Yourself Guide To The Rest Of Your Life. Fresh, hip and visually rich, the book features over 70 true first-person stories sent in from around the world to the authors? website that recount particularly memorable moments and experiences in people's own lives. These range from small-scale recollections (Grow a beard, Have a penpal, Learn to swim) to more ambitious tales (Open a restaurant, Backpack around India, Record an album). And (thank God) there's not a "swim with dolphins" story in sight! In fact, this is the antidote to all those wacky manuals and reference guides that make you feel bad about not spending the day bungee-jumping...At turns thought-provoking and entertaining, 2DO BEFORE I DIE is an unusually inventive, inspiring, hands-on guide for recent graduates, career-changers, first-time parents, and soon-to-be retirees - in fact, it's perfect for anyone who may be wondering "what's next?"...Motivational Books
