This was the ultimate read for my daughter who is working on her RN BSN and contemplating which area of nursing she would like to devote her life to。 She graduates in December 🎓With its successful approach to cutting through the stressors and pressures, it allows for her to make more informed choices based on what she desires。 This helps her on a path that leads to her goals and purpose without a head full of self doubt。This is a book that should be given to all students upon graduation when the This was the ultimate read for my daughter who is working on her RN BSN and contemplating which area of nursing she would like to devote her life to。 She graduates in December 🎓With its successful approach to cutting through the stressors and pressures, it allows for her to make more informed choices based on what she desires。 This helps her on a path that leads to her goals and purpose without a head full of self doubt。This is a book that should be given to all students upon graduation when they embark on their journey into their future。 。。。more

Eminently readable, well-researched, and very topical, How to Navigate Life: The New Science of Finding Your Way in School, Career, and Beyond is an inspiring book for all ages。I started the book, reading as an educator and thinking about how to apply the ideas in my classroom。 As a high school English teacher for 28 years, I’ve always encouraged reflection in my students and I’ve tried to help them understand the big-picture objectives and goals of the work I assign - not always successfully。 I Eminently readable, well-researched, and very topical, How to Navigate Life: The New Science of Finding Your Way in School, Career, and Beyond is an inspiring book for all ages。I started the book, reading as an educator and thinking about how to apply the ideas in my classroom。 As a high school English teacher for 28 years, I’ve always encouraged reflection in my students and I’ve tried to help them understand the big-picture objectives and goals of the work I assign - not always successfully。 In the wake of the pandemic, I find it even harder to convince all students that the work I’m asking them to do is meaningful。 Liang and Klein’s explanation of the Five Purpose Principles is thought-provoking and full of tips for engaging my students more fully, helping them to see the relevance of the work they do in my class。 And yet, the book is more than a how-to guide for educators and parents of teenagers。 In the second half of the book, Liang and Klein illustrate how the purpose mindset is beneficial throughout one’s lifetime。 As I read, I found myself not only reflecting on my own life choices and experiences but also thinking about the choices my own children, all in their 20’s, are navigating。 I highly recommend this book。 Reading it will help you to reflect on how to make choices to live life more meaningfully and joyfully, no matter what stage of life you’re at。 。。。more

What a wonderful book Belle and Timothy have written。 "How to Navigate Life" is that rarest of things--both down to earth and high-minded at the same time。 Written in a clear, succinct and often humorous voice, "Navigate" explores the pursuit of life purpose for students, teachers, and the rest of us along the way。 Never preachy or didactic, the book outlines different types of strengths and skills and how they can be honed to help us accomplish life goals。 As Belle and Timothy write "We don't t What a wonderful book Belle and Timothy have written。 "How to Navigate Life" is that rarest of things--both down to earth and high-minded at the same time。 Written in a clear, succinct and often humorous voice, "Navigate" explores the pursuit of life purpose for students, teachers, and the rest of us along the way。 Never preachy or didactic, the book outlines different types of strengths and skills and how they can be honed to help us accomplish life goals。 As Belle and Timothy write "We don't teach (students) their strengths and skills。。。We whet their appetites for their self-discovery。 Purpose can be learned, but it cannot be taught。" This book is thoughtful, humbling, and inspiring all at once--a beautiful and instructive exploration of the idea that we already have everything we need, once we make up our minds to live a life of purpose。 。。。more

How to Navigate Life is a fun, engaging, and thought provoking read that tells you exactly what the title says it will。 I related strongly to the mindsets it discusses, and reading it made me feel more confident and informed about my decisions as a student in the midst of the college process。 The science and research-based strategies that it illustrates are actionable and have helped me localize my goals and make important choices as I think about applications and relationships。 This book has im How to Navigate Life is a fun, engaging, and thought provoking read that tells you exactly what the title says it will。 I related strongly to the mindsets it discusses, and reading it made me feel more confident and informed about my decisions as a student in the midst of the college process。 The science and research-based strategies that it illustrates are actionable and have helped me localize my goals and make important choices as I think about applications and relationships。 This book has impacted my thinking more than I thought a book could, and I couldn’t stop myself from recommending it to my friends and parents。 Though I read this as a student, I genuinely think the principles discussed in this book can be applied by anyone。 At its core, this is a book about finding your purpose and owning your path, and it does an excellent job of providing the reader with the skills and strategies to reach their goals。 。。。more

Learning to navigate the peaks and valleys of the performance-based world that we live in can be a tricky and exhausting endeavor, especially if we may struggle to have a compass, a rudder, or a guide。 Liang and Klein do a great job of suggesting ways that we can find our compass and sense of purpose that can help to lead us in a passion-focused meaningful direction。 In this book, you will learn that life is not primarily about finding success or happiness but understanding that it is better liv Learning to navigate the peaks and valleys of the performance-based world that we live in can be a tricky and exhausting endeavor, especially if we may struggle to have a compass, a rudder, or a guide。 Liang and Klein do a great job of suggesting ways that we can find our compass and sense of purpose that can help to lead us in a passion-focused meaningful direction。 In this book, you will learn that life is not primarily about finding success or happiness but understanding that it is better lived and found along a purposeful journey。 。。。more

I thought this was a very informative book that I highly recommend to teachers to connect with their students and help guide them towards internal and external success。 The first half of the book is a long persuasive essay about the purpose mindset, core values to have, needs of the world, etc。 It has many references to science articles, real life news, and pop culture to show how these view points affect our youth generation’s mindset on what happiness is and how to attain it。 After showing the I thought this was a very informative book that I highly recommend to teachers to connect with their students and help guide them towards internal and external success。 The first half of the book is a long persuasive essay about the purpose mindset, core values to have, needs of the world, etc。 It has many references to science articles, real life news, and pop culture to show how these view points affect our youth generation’s mindset on what happiness is and how to attain it。 After showing the best science-backed methods/mindset of success, the second half of the book goes into details of HOW to apply these to high schoolers, college students, the workplace。 This book is so thorough in its explanations。 I think it is perfect for teachers, but also students who are trying to figure out what values to emphasize in personal statements or college essays。 It’s a perfect example of a persuasive essay that proved its point beautifully。 I highly recommend this book。 。。。more
