The book is a very short read, just about 100 pages, focus mainly on the following,ġ.How to be fully engaged in something we are doing.Ģ.How to set your goals using accurate data.ģ.How to have predetermined solutions to face problems.Įven though the topic of the book is very brief, the author has explained it very well through his personal stories. Sterner provides techniques such as 'Thought Awareness Training' to help us to transform our lives by just thinking about what we are doing at the moment and having our complete focus. 'Feeling the need to complete things is a survival mechanism that goes who knows how far in our evolution'. It doesn't matter who you are, this is something you should read and be more engaged with your life.

Great great book indeed! I cannot recommend you enough. So if you read this, be aware that he doesn't talk much about the how-to. Since I haven't read it yet, I can't tell if it's there or not. Probably the How is in that book and just like many reviewers put it, this is a great 'compliment' to his previous book. He keeps mentioning his previous book - The Practicing Mind - which I haven't read yet. The only complain I have is that it lacks the how-to. It's like listening to someone who's peacefully talking about his story.

The book itself is written in a way I find very relaxing to read. Even though I'm familiar with the core concept of it, I still find many interesting things I can learn. The idea itself is not entirely new to me. You know? When the idea is so fundamentally brilliant, I just wish everyone would read it. I absolutely love the idea of this book! It's one of those books that I want everyone to read. Being thus engaged will result in less stress and more satisfaction in every aspect of life. This new book explores specific techniques, such as thought awareness training and setting goals with accurate data, and demonstrates how using these techniques will not only help you reach your objectives, but will keep you engaged in each moment of your life, throughout the process of accomplishing those goals. The answers to those questions - or more accurately, the exploration of those questions - became the basis of Fully Engaged. As Tom traveled and spoke about the book, he kept track of the questions readers and participants at his seminars asked. In his first book, The Practicing Mind, which remains a bestseller in its category, Thomas Sterner set out clear guidelines for developing focus and discipline to achieve any life goal. To be fully engaged in life means that we have clear goals as well as the focus and skills to accomplish those goals with ease and a sense of calm awareness. Better Results and Less Stress through Proven Techniques
