Heartland Reviews - Bob Spear, Chief Reviewer 

I Almost Missed My Life  is an excellent motivational book written by a woman who went from welfare, three busted marriages, being a single mom, and working as a hair dresser to becoming an internationally recognized motivational trainer and speaker and General Sales Manager of Tony Robbinsı company. The advice she gives is not just the usual rah rah pap of the genre, but is practical and do-able. Each short chapter ends with a practical exercise which will increase the readerıs chance to have a better life.

This was a quick and easy read with material that makes good sense. There is something for everyone in the book, and the author models the effectiveness of her approach. I especially like the fact that she admitted to many of the weaknesses she addresses, but she tells how she overcame each one. This is a very credible book and earned a four hearts rating.

I Almost Missed My Life" contains 52 short (2 page) chapters that can best be described as instructional, self-help guidance on things you can do to change your life into the E Ticket life you would like to have. The E Ticket reference is used in the book and accurately represents the author's purpose with the book. Several years ago if you went to Disney World you would purchase a packet of tickets that contained A, B, C, D, and E tickets. The most popular, most exciting rides were E Ticket rides. My memories as a child include a trip to Disney World where we purchased one of these books of tickets. One thing I recall is that the A and B ticket rides were ones that I was not interested in and only rode them because I had a ticket that was no good for anything else. Many people seem to live their lives that way - life has dealt them a book of A and B tickets and so that is the limit of what they can ride. The purpose of the book is to change your life from an A or B Ticket ride to an E Ticket journey.

Each week you can take one of the chapters and focus on it for that week. Chapters include encouragement and direction on such things as "Practice Outcome Thinking", "Trust and Follow your Knowing", "Treasure and Nurture Your Friends", "Don't Take Yourself Too Seriously", "Listen", "Let Go of Regrets", "Be the Change You Want To See", and "Be Grateful". This is an excellent and recommended book for people seeking an organized plan for changing their life.

I have found your book really useful is that it states each idea clearly and concisely.  Sometimes it's not just knowing an idea but keeping on the surface of your mind and ready to use that is important.  And that is where I find your book helpful - for quick review and accessible retention.  ~Harvey Matheson

Your book, I Almost Missed My Life… was given to me over a year ago. I put it on my book shelf and kind of forgot about it. This past summer I separated from my husband and decided to see what was inside since I was searching for some kind of reason for the mess in my life.  I read it this summer and connected to almost everything you said.  Now I am between quarters at night school and decided to reread your book while I have a little free time.  Twice your book has given me encouragement to go on and search for more purpose in my life.   Thank you.  ~Judy Godon
