#RequiredReading: Own The Day

Few books have had as much of a positive impact on my life as Aubrey Marcus’ “Own the Day.” Buy it right now.

Seriously.

Stop reading this post and click this link and buy the book in your preferred format (I prefer Kindle + Audible).

Waiting….

Ok, you’re back and you’ve purchased the book. Congratulations!

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Like all books on my #RequiredReading list this book has helped to guide and educate me in ways that are hard to put into words…except for the authors of those books! Do not take my word for it. READ THE BOOK!

Before reading this book I felt like I was on top of the mountain, seeing the ball perhaps as clearly as I ever have, and feeling genuinely great about my life. Using the other books from my required reading along with counseling from my therapist, friends, and family, I had gotten to a place where I felt like I was playing above the rim. After reading ‘Own The Day’ I was happy to realize that many of the practices and procedures I have put into my life are similar to things Aubrey Marcus talks about in the book!

However this book has shown me that there is so much more that I am not doing on a regular basis, giving me room to grow and improve!  I am very much looking forward to making many positive changes and tweaking many of the things I already do to become an even better version of myself. After all, if we are not constantly working at becoming better we are by definition, getting worse.
