Limitless: How to Ignore Everybody, Carve your Own Path, and Live Your Best Life

Brilliant for charting a future path for you
A really insightful read for anyone evaluating and exploring their future direction. Laura introduces, through great stories, the idea that we all need consonance in our life, which is a mix of four ingredients that need to be in balance in a way that uniquely delivers meaning for us. I really like the way she clarified that pursuing your calling does not mean you have to sacrifice material goals that make a contribution to the way you want to live your life. Laura’s four Cs give a great tool anyone can use to assess the level of consonance in their life and explore where a rebalance may be needed. A great read indeed!

There's Something about Laura...
There's Something about Laura...I'm one of those individuals where the pandemic has been a great thing. Spiritually, I've been taken off life support, I'm grateful to God, Mother Nature, and I've never been more productive. Limitless will give any person the practical ammunition to begin or continue their own hero's journey right now.There are a lot of books about grit, resilience, leaning in, and the like, and I've read most of them and they are all very good. But then they are forgettable and books you wouldn't give as gifts. A book that is a gift is something a little more special. This is it. Laura is like having a Navy Seal type of coach, whispering at your side, as you work through the lost and found of hell that is a part of life, and she provides a solid basis for faith that would make anyone believe that they can rise from the ashes too. It feels possible with this book and the examples that Laura excavates.She's been there, she gets it, and she gets you. She's intuned with people and the pulse of the self-made soul... Her intuition is off the charts. Right from the beginning, I felt the impact. Imagine Rhonda Rousey's book title, 'My Fight, your Fight' as a visual for guidance. Every chapter, it is Laura who is knocking sense into me, the reader. Common sense that she has drawn from her own and diverse examples. You find out that Laura has been in the trenches, and has made a career studying them. In such a short book, I felt I got to know a powerful instrument of nature whose insights knocked out the canonical echo-chamber of self-help gurus who work/live in silos, and are disconnected from the silent majority of Americans and the everyday experiences of humanity in general. 'Thought leaders' without a heart but preach empathy. Fast-food wellness without compassion. There is a lot of real empathy and compassion in Laura's book for me.Previous to this book, I read Laura Huang's book Edge and loved it also but in a different way. (Check review).Both of these books Limitless and Edge will make a great gift pack for my mom, my brother who likes driving for Uber but may be looking for a career change, my colleagues, my students and hopefully I will develop a Limitless Edge every day, within myself, as I strive to be a better person by bringing out the best in other people. Bringing out my full self, not a fake self. Laura's overarching focus on consonance is the soft power that differentiates this book into an experience that you will treasure forever.There's Something about Laura...

Stop the politics
I almost only remember all the talk about politic from this book, and it probably should have gotten a one, that being said, if you edited out the politics which I still lack to understand why is in the book, you would have a way better book….

Author could have done better
The title gives away 90% of the content and depth to this book. I heard her speak on a podcast, and think she could have put more in the book. In a rush to publish?
