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 was part of a bigger picture, a plan?

This is a summary of Michael S. Hyatt & Daniel Harkavy's Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want
The book provides listeners with something most people want, a life they choose for themselves. The rat race often leaves people disillusioned and stuck. They want to live free from the boundaries but cannot see how to do it. The authors, Harkavy and Hyatt, offer a process on how to make one's life plan.

Christy Williams made this a very easy listen and the content was easily understood. Highly recommend!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I really enjoyed listening to this summary not only because it helped me breeze through the basics of Living Forward, but because the narrator is awesome. Often the narrator makes or breaks the book and this performance is great compared to other summary books I've listened to.
What does Christy Williams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her voice is soothing and she feels informed and encouraging.
