Description
Start living an astonishing life with this "practical and accessible, moving and deeply meaningful" (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) guided program for identifying your core values and aligning every area of your life with them so you can feel fulfilled every day. "This book is a wonderful invitation. Take it" (Dave Evans, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Designing Your Life). We all have moments when we doubt the path we're on. The Life Brief is an essential tool for aligning your life with your dreams--personally, professionally, culturally, and spiritually. Based on the business world's most-used organizational tool, The Life Brief has three phases: Get Messy, Get Clear, and Get Active. The first phase is a set of open-ended writing prompts that cut through limiting beliefs and false assumptions about what's possible. Get Clear offers prompts for finding clarity around what you truly, deeply want. Finally, Get Active catapults you into the steps to making those desires a reality. Tried and tested by Bonnie herself as well as thousands of attendees of workshops and lectures, The Life Brief method is the most powerful tool for solving life's biggest messes and creating a life of meaning.Product Details

About the Author
Bonnie Wan is an author and speaker, as well as partner and head of brand strategy at the world-renowned advertising agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners. As creator of The Life Brief, Bonnie helps people live with greater clarity, creativity, and courage by teaching them how to write creative briefs for their lives. The Life Brief is a practice based on her belief that "you cannot have it all, but you can have all that matters." The Life Brief has evolved from an agency talk into a workbook, workshops, and speaking appearances at Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop, Jane Goodall's Activating Hope Summit, the 3% Conference, SXSW, Bain & Company, Google, Apple, Change.org, and more. It has now evolved into the book you see before you.
Reviews
"The science behind how we generate our reality is clear, and now with The Life Brief we have the ultimate tool to set us on our true path towards success and joy. As much a book as it is a rite of passage for all of us seeking to get down to the essence of who we are, what we desire, and how to get it." --Deepak Chopra, New York Times bestselling author of Metahuman
"We all have stories we tell ourselves about our lives, but what Bonnie Wan so rightly points out is that it is often the questions we avoid that hold the most value. In The Life Brief, she combines the candid self-reflection of the therapy room with the warmth and humor of a hard-won personal journey, then harnesses the executive power of a top industry professional to create a wholly unique guide to living that is both practical and accessible, moving and deeply meaningful. It will transform the lives of everyone who reads it." --Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone
"Bonnie is an astonishing life force--and The Life Brief is an artful tool that can help you discover you are one too. Bonnie is a brilliant companion on the road to more aliveness. This book is a wonderful invitation. Take it." --Dave Evans #1 New York Times bestselling author of Designing Your Life
"The Life Brief stands up there with The Artist's Way in that it's not self-help--it is a self-unlocking book. Bonnie establishes a process that is interactive, dynamic, and--by sharing her own vulnerable journey--feels like you are not going through it alone. Her book is required reading for anyone who wants to live a life fueled by courage, creativity and radical co-creation with the universe." --Valentine Giraud, Former Board Director, Center for Noetic Sciences
"Bonnie Wan writes as she lives--with heart, wisdom and depth. The Life Brief hooked me like the very best TV drama, where you fall in love with the characters, seeing their struggles and joys laid bare. The tools Bonnie offers are powerful, crafted with her signature depth, intelligence and sharp understanding of human nature. Even as an 'expert' in the field personal development, I found the way Bonnie framed her stories and tools helped me reveal new insight about myself. Bonnie is Oprah - meets Brene Brown - meets Simon Sinek. Her passion for The Life Brief is evident, and her love of being on stage a huge asset to getting this book out there." --Elle Harrison, Author of Wild Courage
"Remember that time when you really took the time to craft (or REcraft) your life, your purpose and chart out your legacy ? No?!? Well now you have the blueprint and guide to do just that. Bonnie's thinking and process cajoles the most stubborn and nurtures the most hesitant but delivers the EXACT process that each of us
need. Read this book and get ready for your attitude and life to be transformed!" --Mick Ebeling
Film Producer and Founder of Not Impossible Labs

"In a world awash with competing priorities, unlimited choice and daily time pressures, The Life Brief is the tool that we all desperately need to navigate today's over stimulated world. Thankfully, Bonnie shares her creative strategies to help you bring focus and order to your life with a clear set of priorities on what matters most. Creating your own Life Brief will help you articulate your inner voice and distill your desires to become more true to yourself in a world that often forces us to overlook what we want and value most to propel your life forward." --Eric Ryan, CEO and Founder of Method Home and Olly and Welly Health
