I feel like this self-help book is a lot different from many others that I've read. Not only does it cover business or vague personal goals but it goes deep into the core of what makes people who they are. It tells stories of people that have fitness, relationship, and even intellectual goals. The appendices contain charts and more information about the people mentioned throughout the book, their quests, and even how you can achieve similar goals!

I've read enough intense novels lately that they are beginning to affect my mood. Time for something uplifting! The cool backpack on the cover already has me excited!

Giving up on this one! Interesting stories, but this stay-at-home, special-needs mom (i.e. never empty nester) isn't itching for any quests! 😏
