What
a practical and interesting book. Jain wants us to get the best
return on our investment in life. That is, for the time, energy, and
money we put into life, he wants us to have the best life possible.
To
help us accomplish that, he suggests investment strategies and a
decision making system that integrates and considers all aspects of
life, all assets. He identifies our assets in an easy to remember
fashion: Assets, Safety, Physical, Intellectual, Relationships,
Economic, Spiritual (ASPIRES). He evaluates various possibilities
within each asset using his CAPS method (Core Asset Protection
Strategies).
He
explores each asset in maximizing the ROI. In Safety, he covers
issues like driving and Internet issues. In Physical, he includes
tips on losing weight, needed vitamins, and exercise. In
Intellectual, he looks at mental and emotional health, education,
life skills, sleep habits, relieving stress, and self-esteem. In
Relationships, he writes about good communication. In Economic, he
addresses debt, investing, and giving. In Spiritual, he writes about
purpose and meaning in life, hope, and comfort. (He does not promote any
particular spirituality but does show the practical benefits of
belief in God.)
Jain's
book is almost like a handbook to life. He covers all aspects of
living a rewarding life. He even adds a few time management
strategies to wrap it all together. It is a good starting point for
gathering information for making life decisions. It would be a good
book for college graduates, young marrieds, or people of all ages.
Jain
believes each of us has (after reading his book) the knowledge,
wisdom and power to make choices leading to a life of greatest joy.
This is a good book to get you on your way to that place.
