For those who look to identify, reprioritize, or implement lifetime goals, CREATING YOUR BEST LIFE is an amazing, helpful collection of tools. In fact, it's almost TOO comprehensive, in that it suggests so many lists to create and so many exercises to do that the first chapters become overwhelming. But better to have choices than to feel shortchanged.
I was surprised, however, that there wasn't any attention paid to creating what I'll call a daily "TO DO" list. This is the book to go to if you want to determine goals. It's a little less helpful when it comes to balancing your choices with all of the likely other demands on your time. My wish for more attention to time management might be unfair, given the bounty that Miller and Frisch offer. But at least on my first read through, I was puzzled that this step was missing; it seemed like a logical place for the authors to go. The goal list created here seems to exist in a vacuum.
Still, in the future, when I'm asked to recommend a "happiness" book, there's no question that this would be one of my top choices. You won't regret this purchase.
