Woman wakes up with false memories i Name that Book (juni 2020)

Recensioner

I wasn't sure what this was about, but was pleasantly surprised to find a story of women finding their way in life amidst finding their way through relationships and the natural world. It's almost too quiet of a book tho, so I would have liked a little more punch I think.

MUCH less dramatic/exciting/interesting than I thought it would be, and very predictable. And anti-climatic. I did like the dual perspectives which somewhat compared the 1950s housewife to a 2018 housewife though.

This is more than a book about "get up at 5 a.m. and it will change your life," and I believe it comes at a time where many are looking for guidance and order in their lives after this past year.
I retired two years ago, and until that point, I lived this highly organized, get up early, pack it all in a day. I'd found out years ago when my goals were to train for races and write a book that working full-time (and a part-time job for a few of those years) the only way to get my running miles in was to get up before the sun and run before work. I focused my late nights on writing.

Then I retired. The saying "if you want something done, ask a busy person to do it" rings true. My life became unorganized, unfocused, because I had all day to get it done, right? That's where this book comes in. I no longer get up super early, I don't need to, but I needed focus and organization so I could continue with my life goals. The author has many excellent quotes and inspiration throughout the book, and here are some favorites I'm taking with me into my daily scheduling and goals: Your 4% time spent should focus on something FUN, something you WANT to do (specifically for your goals, dreams.) "A goal without a plan is just a wish" which is so true! You can't just say "I want to run a marathon, I want to write a book" (my goals years ago) without figuring out a step-by-step plan to get to that point, and be willing to put in the work to get there. The author mentions a Japanese term, Ikigai (pronounced Ick-ee-guy) which is a reason to jump out of bed each morning. That resonated with me once I retired. We all need a reason and purpose to our day. This book helps you focus on accomplishing the purpose you choose. If you are looking for inspiration to organize your day, help you achieve your dreams and goals, this is the book to help you get there. I listened to the audiobook of this, and I thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me the informative audiobook.
