Todos tenemos una sola vida qué vivir en la tierra. Lo que hacemos con ella es nuestra decisión. ¿La vivimos a la deriva como espectadores, reaccionando a nuestras circunstancias, y preguntándonos cómo llegamos al punto donde estamos? ¿O la estamos dirigiendo, maximizando la alegría y el potencial de cada día, viviendo con un propósito o una misión en la mente? Muchos de nosotros hacemos lo primero, y nuestras vidas se deslizan de nuestras manos un día a la vez. ¿Y si tratáramos la vida como el regalo que es? ¿Y si viviéramos cada día como si fuera parte  de un plan?  Eso es lo que nos enseñan el autor de éxitos de ventas del New York Times Michael Hyatt, y el coach ejecutivo Daniel Harkavy: a diseñar de una vida con el final en mente, determinando de antemano los resultados que deseamos, y el camino para llegar allá. En esta guía paso por paso, ellos comparten principios básicos para ayudar al lector a crear un plan de vida efectivo para que pueda llegar a donde desea, en todas las áreas de su vida.       //        Each of us has but one life to live on this earth. What we do with it is our choice. Are we drifting through it as spectators, reacting to our circumstances when necessary and wondering just how we got to this point anyway? Or are we directing it, maximizing the joy and potential of every day, living with a purpose or mission in mind? Too many of us are doing the former—and our lives are slipping away one day at a time. But what if we treated life like the gift that it is? What if we lived each day as though it were part of a bigger picture, a plan? That's what New York Times best-selling author Michael Hyatt and executive coach Daniel Harkavy show us how to do: to design a life with the end in mind, determining in advance the outcomes we desire and the path to get there. In this step-by-step guide, they share proven principles that help readers create a simple but effective life plan so they can get from where they are now to where they really want to be—in every area of life.      

En diciembre de 2011, di una charla a una audiencia de científicos, funcionarios del Pentágono, políticos y directores ejecutivos sobre el secreto de la vida y cómo lo había descubierto el verano anterior. Al finalizar, la gente se acercó individualmente y me dijo cuánto significaba para ellos lo que había compartido. Este libro está basado en la verdad de las cosas que hablé. Es algo que aprendí en mi interior, algo que creí que me salvó. Y más que eso, la forma en que me dispongo a hacerlo. Esta es una colección de pensamientos sobre lo que aprendí, lo que funcionó y lo que no. Que me hace conseguir el éxito y lo que es más importante, que me hace fallar todos los días. La verdad es amarte a ti mismo con la misma intensidad que lo harías si necesitaras levantarte con tus dedos en el caso de que estuvieras colgando de un acantilado. Como si tu vida dependiera de ello. Una vez que te lo decides, el camino se hace más fácil. Solo necesitas comprometerte contigo mismo y compartiré los detalles de cómo lo hice. Ha sido transformador para mí. Sé que también será transformador para ti.
