The Last Year of Your Life by Clint Arthur is a 52-week self-directed personal exploration and life enhancement experience.
The book asks of the reader: What would you want to accomplish if you only had 52 weeks left to live?
To be honest, when I read the title aloud to my husband he was instantly pessimistic. He said: “I don’t want to think about death, I’d rather think about life.” And that, in essence is truly what this book is about.
It’s easy to be dragged down by the negative in life, but to truly embrace each single day is what I am taking from this book.
It is a 52-week journey, and the preface of the book says not to skip ahead! Each chapter is to be done a week at a time, and I’m sticking to it even though it’s so tempting to read-on.
The chapters of the book include: ‘Really feel unconditional love for yourself’, ‘Amplify Your personal power by being All-In’, ‘Develop a Personal Vision for your life’, and ‘Appreciate your Life Experence’…(for the full list, click here.)
I’ve definitely enjoyed the experience so far and it is definitely helping me find a balance between doing things for others and remembering to do things for myself!
One of the very first tasks in the book is this: List your 7 most favorite foods. Eat one each night this week.
Isn’t that a wonderful idea?
I enjoyed it, and even found that my family shares my love of broccoli soup & it’s going on the dinner menu!
The author of the book, Clint Arthur developed this workbook from his own life experience.
After graduating from the Wharton Business School he chased the Hollywood dream for 10 years and ended up deep in credit card debt, driving a taxi to survive, and terrified that he would never be able to turn his life around or achieve any of his true potential. One day a crippled old man said something to him that changed his life forever: “You don’t know it yet, but you’re already dead.”
Arthur thought about that obsessively for weeks and weeks, but could not figure out what he meant…
Then it came to be New Year’s Day, and when he sat down to write his annual list of goals he asked himself an amazing question: “What would you want to accomplish if this was going to be The Last Year Of Your Life?”
That question obliterated his procrastination, fear, and doubt, and catapulted him into massive action…
I am enjoying my journey through this book so far and look forward to continuing throughout this year.
