Not Just Another Inspirational

"Inspirational" is an overused word in the self-help book category, I believe. "Empowering" came to my mind when reading "The Game Rules For Life." I kept reading when I realized the book was not a religious "happy clappy" work requiring faith in some deity. Doug's logical and common sense approach to life and overcoming existential impasse comes across as anything but pollyanna, yet his compassion is also obvious. He builds upon what one can do to make the most of our short life by first requiring the reader to discover what his purpose in life is, even assisting in this difficult step. "The Game Rules For Life" left me with an improved outlook on my remaining years. I believe it would do the same for anyone who reads it.

Very impressed - - inspiring

I just finished reading the book ,The Game Rules for Life. The reason it took me so long to finish was the breaks demanding reflection that it inspired. Well written and deeply thought out. I liked it. Showed me I still have some unfinished business. I recommend it to anyone looking for an insightful, well written, moving book. I intend to buy some for gifts.Gary Busselman Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA

Making peace and moving forward.

Are you stuck in a rut? Do you have a feeling that you need to be doing more with your life but don't know how to get started? Then Doug Kelley's "Game Rules for Life" is just what you need.The book is easy to read, not bogged down with complex examinations of the human psyche, but written in a practical manner that any reader can identify with. The style reminds me of that found in the self-help classics "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie and "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" by Richard Carlson. If you enjoyed those two books, then you will enjoy this one also.It has something for everyone; those who are at a crisis point in their lives, changing careers, getting over a divorce, or just trying to make some sense out of the vast world around us. It is a practical aid to anyone for sorting out what is important and getting their life going in a positve direction.
