What do you want？ A deceptively simple question we somehow find a way to massively over complicate。 Bonnie Wan's， The Life Brief， does a masterful job at helping you unwind the complexity from that question and dig into figuring out what you truly want， then how to go and get it。 And every step of the way， she's right there with you。 Sharing her own personal stories and others that are so relatable， it makes you realize you're not in it alone。 Transformation never comes easy， but it is worth it What do you want？ A deceptively simple question we somehow find a way to massively over complicate。 Bonnie Wan's， The Life Brief， does a masterful job at helping you unwind the complexity from that question and dig into figuring out what you truly want， then how to go and get it。 And every step of the way， she's right there with you。 Sharing her own personal stories and others that are so relatable， it makes you realize you're not in it alone。 Transformation never comes easy， but it is worth it and something within reach。 I've written a Life Brief using Bonnie's methods and seen the tremendous impact in my life， so much so I've rewritten it four more times。 It's a constant journey of discovery and discipline， forcing yourself to set aside the noise to focus on what you truly want。 And once you do that， you can never go back。 。。。more

In the glut of fluffy， self aggrandizing， magic bullet self-help books out there， it's so damn refreshing to read Bonnie Wan's The Life Brief。 It's raw， honest， funny， and powerful。 Bonnie has done something simple and brilliant。 She helps us peel away the layers of what's in the way so that we can get to the "F*&$K YES" - this is what I want in my life！ As an advertising wizard she knows what it takes to get right to the bone of what matters。 She knows how to change peoples' minds in 30 seconds In the glut of fluffy， self aggrandizing， magic bullet self-help books out there， it's so damn refreshing to read Bonnie Wan's The Life Brief。 It's raw， honest， funny， and powerful。 Bonnie has done something simple and brilliant。 She helps us peel away the layers of what's in the way so that we can get to the "F*&$K YES" - this is what I want in my life！ As an advertising wizard she knows what it takes to get right to the bone of what matters。 She knows how to change peoples' minds in 30 seconds。 She takes all this advertising strategy and invites us to examine our lives and go after the stuff that grabs us in the gut。 She gives us clear， "heck yes I'm going to do this" practices to help us zero in on "that thing" and actually make big shifts in our lives。 Guess what？ It works！ I'm a coach， and I'm kind of amazed that in 2oo pages， Bonnie was able to do something akin to the nuance and depth of life changing coaching。 The Life Brief is compelling。 It's a gift。 Go get a copy。 Read it。 More that read it， do the work。 You WILL be changed。 。。。more

Huge fan （！） and I'm not typically drawn to personal-growth books。The author transforms the daunting task of identifying what you REALLY want in life （maybe what you haven't even admitted to yourself） into bite-sized， approachable pieces。 Her process mirrors the proven model of her internationally-renowned advertising and branding agency。Bonnie's vulnerability invites the readers to let down their guards， while building a plot line that drives the reader's curiosity forward。 The Life Brief is a Huge fan （！） and I'm not typically drawn to personal-growth books。The author transforms the daunting task of identifying what you REALLY want in life （maybe what you haven't even admitted to yourself） into bite-sized， approachable pieces。 Her process mirrors the proven model of her internationally-renowned advertising and branding agency。Bonnie's vulnerability invites the readers to let down their guards， while building a plot line that drives the reader's curiosity forward。 The Life Brief is a book that can be revisited often， as one can create multiple briefs， each for a different part of their lives。 And， as change is the only constant， every brief can be reviewed and edited at any time。 The Life Brief is far greater than just a book！ 。。。more

The Life Brief provided me with a blueprint and actionable steps to create a better life。 Immersing myself in this book and doing all the activities gave me a clearer picture of what I really wanted and empowered me to actually go for it。 I would recommend this book to anyone but especially to anyone feeling stuck in life。

When I find myself dog-earing pages， writing in their margins and returning to each annotation with more clarity regarding what I need and want in this life， I know I'm reading a book that will continue to inform the way I walk in this world。 At its essence， Bonnie Wan's The Life Brief is a courageous offering， one that calls upon its readers to think intentionally and aspirationally about what they are called to do， and more importantly， what they can do if they give the purity of their attenti When I find myself dog-earing pages， writing in their margins and returning to each annotation with more clarity regarding what I need and want in this life， I know I'm reading a book that will continue to inform the way I walk in this world。 At its essence， Bonnie Wan's The Life Brief is a courageous offering， one that calls upon its readers to think intentionally and aspirationally about what they are called to do， and more importantly， what they can do if they give the purity of their attention to this "no-regrets living" practice。 The stories peppered throughout the book demonstrate the Life Brief's capacity to invite authentic， meaningful change in a compelling， relevant and accessible manner。 The author carefully balances her own， often painful， paradigm shifting experiences as a daughter， sister， wife， mother， confidant and award winning advertising executive with the narratives of those she's witnessed work the process and ultimately live fuller， more present lives。 In addition to the relatable narratives that confirm the universal applicability of the Life Brief， there are also exercises peppered throughout the book designed to help readers navigate even the most uncomfortable， seemingly impossible questions。The critical role that sustained， reflective writing plays in the Life Brief practice was an unexpected， affirming gift。 As a public high school educator for nearly thirty-two years， I use the Life Brief's exercises as evidence of the "real-world，" clarifying power of transcribing thoughts onto paper。 From beginning to end， Bonnie Wan convinces her readers that they， too， can use writing to create an action plan for their lives。 。。。more
