Be Amazing is a motivational and inspiring call to action for people who want more out of life, guiding them and helping them discover how to be amazing in their everyday work and personal lives. Using the signature gentle, conversational style that made Paul Boynton's Begin with Yes so popular, Paul captivates readers with stories of extraordinary people in everyday circumstances, and then zeroes in on the qualities and habits that make them so amazing. By distilling the universal qualities that yield such amazing results, Paul helps readers understand the simple commitments and actions that they can employ in their own lives that will help them be amazing, too—at home, at work, and the pursuit of their passions.
Be Amazing shows readers how they can accelerate into lives that are rich and fulfilling, thanks to simple principles that are both universal and easy to understand and apply day-to-day. Learn how generosity and kindness will propel you toward success. Discover the power of setting intentions. Be inspired to serve your community and reap the surprising rewards of doing so. And perhaps most importantly, be empowered to be you.
Simple, direct, and full of hope and practical wisdom, Be Amazing will help lead you to the life you've always wanted, while helping others along the way.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this cheery guide, Boynton (Begin with Yes) combines real-life stories of unnamed individuals he deems "remarkable" with a step-by-step plan to help readers actualize their own unique version of "amazing." He asks readers to reconnect with their "spirit blueprint," or core passions, and then to hone these passions into practical actions. He suggests strategies for reframing negative thinking (such as noticing unproductive language and recasting it in a more positive way) and for taking small steps toward reaching goals (such as charting out a course of action and concentrating on developing "tenacity"). Though Boynton's message and method are not novel, his question and answer format effectively channels the helpfulness of a personal life coach, even if it can sometimes feel contrived, such as when he begins an answer with "Great question, as usual." Boynton's core principles all revolve around "generosity and kindness," which he believes has a recursive power to uplift, and he offers six character qualities (among them "be as accommodating as possible") and four steps (including "discover what amazing will look like") to help move readers toward their goals. Boynton's focus on practicing kindness and building community make this a welcome addition to self-help works on achieving personal success.
