Clear, concise and compelling. These three words have been a guide for me as a writer and creative for years. No one does those words justice more than Derek Sivers. His books, much like the title of this one, cut directly to the point in a way that is simple, easy to remember, and most importantly, easy to implement in one's life. I recommend his books more than any others. Well, besides perhaps Stephen King. But who can blame me for that? Stephen King has like 60 books. Derek's writings have the highest signal to noise ratio that I've come across. This book is no different. I love it, and it's got a permanent place on my small bookshelf, so that I can share it with my son as he grows up. At this point in my life I've realized that I only have so much time to share with the world. Learning to say "Hell Yeah! or No" has been a big step forward in my ability prioritize activities and relationships. This book will definitely help you discover what is Hell Yeah! for you. Derek has gift for questioning "common knowledge." His writing always gives me positive energy to observe my own thoughts and actions. Much Appreciation!! It’s a great read and I recommend it. It’s probably best to give this to someone who is in high school before they make too many life-changing decisions. That said, it’s better to read this now than never.
On the macro AND micro level, Hell Yeah or No is filled with lessons to focus on what matters. I ve listened to it 3 times since I bought it and look forward to listen again. After I read this book, so many things became clearer to me as far as actions I was taking in my life and why. It helped to gain better consciousness of my life's choices in a way that I could clearly relate to learning and interpreting music. I ended up buying copies for a few of my friends!
A book that is a life staple. Important to read every year to stop your life becoming full of meaningless obligation. It is like an energy shot for the mind!
This book was full of wisdom, especially because I read it during a low point in my life and it helped me process a lot of life questions I too was thinking about at the time.Zweig knew that Montaigne disliked preaching, yet he managed to extract a series of general rules from the Essays. You can see my review of Hell Yeah or No here: https://www.larschristensen.org/post/hell-yeah-or-no-what-s-worth-doing-by-derek-sivers-~-13-minutes Derek's book lives on my bedside table and I reach for it periodically. I revisit the chapters randomly. My life is better for it.
Great Deal
