Be You. Do Good.: Having the Guts to Pursue What Makes You Come Alive by Jonathan David Golden
3.0
Each chapter starts with and is followed by a number of stories illustrating both how the author found his life’s work and the life work of others. The stories were enjoyable to read and were full of inspiration and passion. Additionally, each chapter ends with 3 key questions that provide guidance in how to put what you’ve read into action. I really liked the questions and they always left me with a lot to think about.
To be entirely honest, I struggled to finish this book. It’s well written and enjoyable but for the subject, I was needing a more direct response. A lot of the book is taken up by stories that are fine by themselves but with it being a book to help you “pursue what makes you come alive” it often felt like it took forever to get to the point of the story. It is for this reason that I rated it down to a 3.5 star and not more.
I would recommend this book to anyone who may be looking for some direction in their search for where their life is going and want less of a direction and more examples and stories. Like I said, it was an enjoyable read but not quite my cup of tea.
