Synopsis

Despite our good intentions, many of us experience a chronic imbalance between the desire to live our values and the distractions and never-ending to-do lists that can get in the way. In Your 168: Finding Purpose and Satisfaction in a Values-Based Life, listeners learn how to pursue a values-based life by identifying and committing to their values and priorities. Bestselling author Harry Kraemer uses personal stories and insights from others to help readers discover the dissonance between what they say is most important and where they actually devote their time. This is an eye-opener for most people, uncovering the obstacles to leading a value-based life.

In Your 168, you will learn how to make changes and build new habits that put your values first by:

● Using self-reflection to identify what matters most and become more aware of how you spend your time

● Re-evaluating priorities such as career, family, health, recreation, spirituality, and making a difference

● Avoiding unpleasant "surprises" and "hitting the brick wall"

● Experiencing better balance in real time amid shifting priorities—personally and professionally

I wish the author would’ve spent more time developing the theory of why the best unit of account for managing your life is the week(168 hours) vs the day(24 hours). This book wasn’t rigorous at all. Felt like the author needed to write it to put a bow on his career. He didn’t advance the topic with......more
