Anyone who has ever dreamed about making a change, whether big or small, in their life will gain inspiration from Bob and Melinda Blanchard’s book, Changing Your Course The 5-Step Guide to Getting the Life You Want.
In the course of a couple hundred pages, the Blanchards effuse support and encouragement for the reader who desires a change of course. Using their 5-step D.R.E.A.M. (Decide, Research, Evaluate, Act, Maintain) strategy, the Blanchards give guidance and perspective to making life changes. They continually include personal stories where relevant to demonstrate the real life applicability of their strategies for getting the life you want. The book is easy to read and includes periodic reminders highlighting the key chapter concepts as well as concise summaries at the end of each chapter.
Bob and Melinda Blanchard are cheerleaders for their catch phrase “Live What You Love” and want to share their success with as many people as possible. They firmly rebut many of the common excuses for why people unhappily stay where they are such as lack of finances or fear of the unknown and claim that “You can’t afford not to do what you want to do”.
Don’t hesitate a moment longer if you have been considering making a life change (and even if you haven’t, this book is great food for thought), pick up a copy of Changing Your Course The 5-Step Guide to Getting the Life You Want and starting plotting your course to a brighter, happier and more satisfying life.
