The Lifelong Project

Here is a book that is worth picking up. Mr. Phillips has created a think/take action book. ROI comes back early with this one. Believing in yourself is half the battle - the other half is this book. It helps you not only to get started on your path but helps you execute to completion. You can take his principles and apply to everyday life to make things happen. I myself have a project in place that was one that I found I could not get moving on until the tools were placed before me. Learning to plot things out to achieve a goal. MAGNIFICENT!

I thought this would be the PMPBOK for life management. But this was authors life story + PMBOK. Might be a great gift for someone you want to introduce project management , or the PMP exam. This book will get them interested in both . But for someone who knows PMBOK and PMP this felt like a repetitive grind. I applaud the authors effort , but the target customer for this product is not me , may be the title of the book has to be changed.

Sent as a gift to my son in prison. The subject and content seemed like a positive message to inspire constructive intraspecption.

Good book, really made me think about the way I have been approaching challenging tasks... now I approach projects very differentl..... and definitely worth the price!

This book is a great guideline on how to plan out your goals, step by step, and actually follow through on them. This doesnt just apply to the big goals in life, like buying a house, losing weight, or starting a business; this applies to *every* aspect of your life. If you have a hard time getting motivated, or you just dont know where to begin, this is the book for you.

The Lifelong Project is the solution to a question I ask myself daily--what if today were the last day of my life? As a person in their twenties, I often struggle with the giant picture of my entire life, but I still dream about someday. I have a feeling that someday is in the same place where the grass grows greener. So why not bring someday to today? By using project management techniques, this book displays how to accomplish giant goals by starting with a single step. Take a step everyday for one year and youll find yourself in a different place, Id imagine. What I love most about this book is Mr. Phillips own story of his Lifelong Project: he isnt just talking, hes sharing from experience. Aside from analyzing the vision, mission, and scope of your project, he mentions other things that will help you along the way--passion, forgiveness, and meditation. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who is in the same place today, that they were last year.

This is not your fathers project management book. Nor is it one of those vapid self-help books that mostly just leave you empty with no real guidance. Joe captures your attention immediately with insightful anecdotes that lets you know he practices what he preaches. The meat of the book is in how Joe describes the sometimes unapproachable project management techniques in a way that allows them to work in your life. I can tell you that this is a book I will keep within reach so that I can stay on track with my personal lifelong projects. I highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone. I personally bought several copies to give out as Christmas gifts.

After reading the first 3 pages I knew this book would be my new Bible, It is a must read for everyone and can bring a clear plan on how to improve your business or personal life, after the first few chapters my fears and anxieties that have held me back for years seemed like nothing and for the first time in years I have set some goals and on my way to achieving them.

Great guide to follow. Expecting great results as I work through the process.

after reading this book, i could not imagine starting the new year without it! mr. phillips creates an amazing journey that you find within yourself. harold bell wright once wrote that there are thirtheen truly great things in life: dreams, occupation, knowledge, ignorance, religion, tradition, temptation, life, death, failure, success, love and memories. mr. phillips addresses all of these truly great things by giving you the tools needed to achieve and overcome. once you have read and enjoyed this book, you will be convinced, as i am, that this should not be classified as a self help book. this should be classified as THE self help book.
