Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling author of Chase the Lion reveals seven powerful habits that can help you tackle God-sized goals by turning yesterday’s regrets and tomorrow’s anxieties into fuel for a better today.
“This book will change the trajectory of your life.”—John Maxwell, #1 New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and leadership expert
Too many people delay, downsize, or shrug off their dreams just because they don’t know where to start, but playing it safe doesn’t account for the massive cost of a life not fully lived. Win the Day is the jump-start you need to go after your goals, one day at a time. You’ll discover how to:
1. Flip the Script: If you want to change your life, start by changing your story.
2. Kiss the Wave: The obstacle is not the enemy; the obstacle is the way.
3. Eat the Frog: If you want God to do the super, you’ve got to do the natural.
4. Fly the Kite: How you do anything is how you’ll do everything.
5. Cut the Rope: Playing it safe is risky.
6. Wind the Clock: Time is measured in minutes; life is measured in moments.
7. Seed the Clouds: Sow today what you want to see tomorrow.
As Batterson unpacks each of these daily habits, you’ll see how simple it is to pursue them with focus and dedication—not someday down the road, but now. Transform your perspective of a single day and you’ll discover the potential waiting to be grasped at the beginning of each new sunrise.
Customer Reviews
Great book, over enthusiastic narration
I highly recommend the book itself. Lots of great, older teachings in a new package.
The author’s narration however is like he’s presenting a title page but it’s the entire book. Whether things are good, bad, exciting, boring, thought provoking or common sense, it’s a constant tone of “Man Am I Excited And You Should Be Too” which can get old after awhile.
Great book, though.
Over fluffed book with terrible narration
The book itself is like 2 sentences of good information fluffed by chapters of wasteful talk.
On top of that the narration is the worst I’ve ever heard. The enthusiasm of his talk throughout the whole book is mentally draining. I couldn’t concentrate on the book because of how annoyed I was at the reader.
Total waste of time, not worth a buck.
Some helpful insights but not a real game changer
Most of the book’s key principles to build healthier habits are common sense and are quite general without giving much details on specific techniques on how to implement them. The majority of concepts in this book also seem to be directly copied from Steve Covey’s “the 7 habits of highly effective people (e.g: flip the script = start with the end in mind, eat the frog = put first things first). So I don’t see much more value in this book, which isn’t already out there.
What also annoyed me extremely was the religious touch of the book. I mean one or two bible verses or Jesus quotes would have been fine, but the author turned this book into a religious manifesto, which is quite irritating for less superstitious readers.
