I read a lot of self-help/motivational books and what I appreciate about Kimanzi's approach is that he clearly identifies the nine steps to change your life, provides realistic examples from his own life and is able to get his message across in under 100 pages. I can't begin to count the number of times I've poured over books four times the length of this one, thinking The message has got to be in here somewhere...maybe if I just read a little farther? only to be left scratching my head by the time I reach the end. Frustrating, to say the least. Not so with Are You Living or Existing?

Kimanzi's clean, concise style does away with all of the fluff as he quickly gets to the meat of it. His message is real, not some "pie in the sky" rhetoric that applies to only a select few. We are able to see that he is a real person, with real-life issues, struggles, challenges, etc., just like you and me. And while his story may vary from yours or mine, it's still relevant as he uses it to walk through each of the steps...because it's realistic.

I also appreciate Kimanzi's honesty. He tells you the steps are going to be hard—that you are going to want to quit over and over again—but rather than setting you up for failure by patting you on the back and telling you it's going to be ok, he asks tough questions and provides suggestions to help you power through the moments of weakness.

I particularly like his discussion of creating a backup plan. I don't know about you, but I find I get so focused on Plan A that I fail to create a plan to fall back on if things don't work out. Oh sure, I have one rumbling around in my head, but I never bother adding any of the details necessary in case I actually need to use it. Kimanzi shows the importance of developing a realistic Plan B (and Plan C, D, E...).

Are You Living or Existing? is well-written, to the point and a tool that can be referenced over and over as you progress through each of the steps on your journey to change. I commend Kimanzi on his own journey and look forward to cheering him on as he reaches each and every milestone...
