Publisher Description
Life is a creative act. Start living a meaningful life with this soul-shaking, “brilliant companion on the road to more aliveness” (Dave Evans, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Designing Your Life) to identify your core values and create the life you want.
We all have moments when we doubt the path we’re on. Am I in the right relationship? Is this the career for me? Is this as good as it gets? These questions can feel uncomfortable without a method for uncovering the answers.
Enter the USA TODAY bestseller, The Life Brief, a simple yet effective playbook for navigating life’s decisions, crossroads, and curveballs. Modeled after the creative brief, a tool used by the most innovative companies in the world to unlock clarity and unleash action, The Life Brief carves a path for living with intention and imagination.
Designed by award-winning brand strategist Bonnie Wan, The Life Brief is a practice in three parts: The first phase, Get Messy, is a set of open-ended writing prompts that cut through limiting beliefs and false assumptions about what’s possible. The second phase, Get Clear, guides you to crystal clarity so you can declare what you truly, deeply want. The third phase, Get Active, catapults you into the steps to making your desires real.
This is the “ultimate tool to set us on our true path towards success and joy” (Deepak Chopra, New York Times bestselling author) that challenges the limiting beliefs that create friction in your life. This powerfully adaptive tool has transformed thousands of lives, from refining career paths to repairing relationships, from rediscovering passion to cutting through overwhelm. Don’t let another moment pass you by. “If you want to be happier, you should write a Life Brief,” (Fast Company). Discover The Life Brief and unlock your path today.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Wan, head of brand strategy at advertising agency Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, marries branding tactics with self-help in this sturdy debut guide to discovering what "you really, really want." Despite a "picture-perfect" life, in 2010 Wan found herself "drowning and depleted and full of questions" about her marriage and career. She decided to use the questions she normally asked her advertising clients to pinpoint her own priorities and "unlock real and lasting change." To achieve similar clarity, readers can "get messy" by doing a daily "brain dump" (writing continuously and freely for a set amount of time), reflecting on the results, and shaping them into their own Life Brief—"five clear, bold, declarative statements about what you want in the areas of your life that matter most," which are then summed up in a sharp, catchy "handle" that "you can use to guide your decisions." While readers may want to skip some of the extended and plodding backstory about how Wan devised the Life Brief tool to save her marriage, they'll appreciate her forthright approach and pertinent questions ("Whose life am I living?"; "How do you want to be remembered?"). Those who are sick of wishy-washy self-help will find much to gain.
