Ten-Step Plan

This book forces people to examine themselves critically in order to navigate to a place where they can move forward. In a nutshell, finding your passion is everything.

Each person must come to know the path or trajectory for moving forward. Another important step is to face demons honestly. Living in the present is important because dwelling on the
past can be destructive. Finally, each person must learn to move with a well-considered purpose.

Another important step in moving forward is to get involved due to inspiration rather than mere convenience or force of habit. Ultimately, each of us must learn self-love before we can project a loving person into the world. 

The author defines the ""bad"" as anxiety, people-pleasing and outright fear. The book has a series of very helpful questionnaires to rank how and where each of us stands on conditions precedent to moving forward.

Overall, the book is helpful in getting readers to consider their own shortcomings dispassionately with a view toward making iterative improvements to eliminate imperfections once identified. In addition, the presentation should help readers to overcome historical problems in navigating alternate paths due to a tendency to engage in analysis paralysis and other internal avoidance modes.
