Motivational speaker and financial adviser Lewis writes: “My life changed forever when I
took seven minutes to write down my purpose.” After targeting business success
and professional decision-making in The 7 Minute Difference, she widens her
scope with this new self-help toolbox, showing how to focus attention for seven
minutes daily on what is most meaningful in one’s life: “one of the core
principles… is that taking tiny steps forward every day quickly adds up to
monumental change.” Her goal is help people find order in the chaos of their
lives, to define their priorities and to help people organize them into a
fashion where they can “clearly see where they want to go.” She details seven
“vital signs” of life: conscious awareness, motivation, growing and learning,
engaging, persevering, living in flow, and living with faith. Each gets a
lengthy chapter analysis, illuminated with personal anecdotes or historical
events, such as the survival story of British explorer Ernest Shackleton (who
exemplifies perseverance). Although much of Lewis’s writing is redundant, her
in-depth presentation will appeal to readers seeking ways to upgrade their
personal development. (Dec. 2011)
