Book Reviews of Intelligence for Your Life: Powerful Lessons for Personal Growth
Book Review: A breezy read full of little nuggets
Summary: 5 Stars
5 stars for what it is. No heavy philosophizing or psychologizing, nothing to hurt your brain. Just a breezy read full of little nuggets that covers all the essentials in order to live a life well-lived. Tesh writes in an approachable, conversational tone. And though I am neither a listener of his radio show nor a Christian, I couldn't help but like the guy, if not exactly agreeing 100% with everything he had to say - particularly his somewhat retro view on who men need to get back to. So why'd I pick up his book? I play piano and love his music. No matter whether you're a Christian or a musician, you'll come away with the same thought: Here's someone with a sincere and genuine desire to be a positive force in the world who's doin' it.
For the particulars. The book is divided into 6 sections: Finding Your Passion; Focusing and Simplifying; Taking Care of Your Relationships; Taking Care of Yourself; Taking Care of Business; and Trusting God. Each section offers a few "Big Life Question(s)" to help you sort the wheat from the chaff. And there are plentiful "Did You Know" boxes filled with random fact tidbits liberally sprinkled throughout the book. I'm guessing this must be something he does on his radio show...
What I most enjoyed and found most valuable about the book were the two personal stories he shared that really brought home the book's key points: How he got started in the radio/TV business, and how he finally came to play at Red Rock. If you're a Tesh fan, you'll find those alone worth the price of the book.
Summary of Intelligence for Your Life: Powerful Lessons for Personal Growth
Almost eight million people across the United States and Canada tune in to John Tesh's syndicated show each week to hear him warmly impart "intelligence for your life" - tips on how to earn your boss's trust, fight jet lag, get out of debt, find your life's calling or even discover the power of prayer. As one major city newspaper referred to him, "He's like Oprah, but without the edge." With his staff of 10 full-time researchers, Tesh has uncovered a wealth of practical information and life-changing choices. He now combines that knowledge with some incredible personal experiences for this first book in what promises to be a successful ongoing series. In addition to a wide range of helpful tips, this book reveals what has guided him spiritually and professionally to act out his passions.
Street date coincides with PBS Special in March, 2008.
