Be Wild at Heart

I just finished reading the updated version of Wild at Heart. The publisher, Thomas Nelson, was kind enough to send me a free copy.

I read Wild at Heart for the first time about five years ago.  John Eldredge is the author and has updated and expanded on the first edition.

What I like about the book is the message for men to get back to their roots and to live how they were created to live.  Without fear and with a sense of wildness. I think this is good advice in business too.

John quotes Howard Thurman in the book and it’s one of my favorites:

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs.  Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

Isn’t that the truth?  We don’t need another person to start a fast food restaurant just to make money.  What we need is someone to find their passion and excitement in life and do that every day.  Be careful guys, reading this book could change your life.
