There are lessons for everyone in this well-written splendid book. At this point in my life, it is a great grant of the season to realize that there is still more to see and more to achieve behind my own version of struggles and challenges. I almost spent forthcoming independent years like a coward, running and hiding all the time. But just like the featured story in this book, I still have a lot of unfinished business. So, even if it is tempting to leave and forget someone like me, it will never be a wise decision to consider. So, I internalize and collect every piece of my purpose, happiness, and hope from the very focal point of my existence in order for me to have and achieve a wonderful life in the future. So, today, I am going to prove that I will live those coming years without letting it slip out of my hands by finally letting go of all of my doubts and just living life!
This is a great way to sum up my life! I am also a health practitioner, and I witnessed the continuity and stopping of heartbeats every single day of my life. But I never had the chance to see Max because my job should not be so personal, at least for me. That is why there are times that I wonder about my personal purpose to my patients that I encounter almost every day of my life. So yes, I read the book. But then, after taking hours of contemplating all the years I have spent as an individual that is valuable to society, I have come up with this realization that my patients could be the source of my life to live with full maximization. Hence, I will never ponder these questions again because the book already answered for me, which even science will never bother to unfold. Highly recommended!
I had never asked about my purpose in life because I am too drowned with what I shall offer and what I shall provide at all times. All I can say is that the purpose is all made by our own minds. We believe that these specific things are our purpose because these are the things that we have some favorable positions for. These purposes can be similar or dissimilar to other people. Hence, I manage to equate it with attaining the utmost richness of our existence. We have the power to dictate to ourselves those things that we can and cannot accomplish. We can have the choice to Vie Max or not but can still live for the better. Just like building our purpose, people are also different in how they will attain the richness of their own existence, and if similarities call upon, connections will be generated for another chance of building life.
I like how the book purposely explains the unfair and unequal treatment and conditions that still lingers in our civilization. There are people who belong to the very poor class but can still garnish a lot of potential in the working sector. It has a huge possibility of making it happen if we will also diminish the ideology of excluding their social class from the others. The book justifies that society, itself, is paving the way for inequality as a tool to maintain equilibrium. At the end of the day, they are all choosing the path of excluding themselves too into the communication between conditions of jobs, rules and regulations, and opportunities because the society could not manage to hold them in the first place. I love how the book manages to insert this topic. It makes the book not only a personal life consultant but also a counselor towards relinquishing social inequality and offering awareness to the readers.
What a great book! This is one of those that I will have to read again to truly digest everything. All chapters do continue to feed me a raging fire of significance. I am sure that each story was shared to reflect the current situation of other people of all ages and all walks of life. That is the reason why I viewed this book as a relatable and easy-to-blend-with type of book. It represents not only personal and life problems but also the problem within the societal aspects. The indifference of social classes and its adverse effects on the values and behaviors of the people were all included as another fact to resonate with changing one's life. It could be around the process that either contributes to or destructs an individual's path of achieving the fullness of life. I totally agreed because I also viewed people as connected souls. We will affect each other's journey as a lesson or as a puzzle piece that will fulfill the Vie Max philosophy, may we want it or not. Recommended.
I will totally suggest making this book part of your choice, especially to those readers that love to give a thought about life and its pillars in a thorough and extensive manner. It also has the bonus trait of offering you advice about life. I said this because all of my life goals started to become clearer through the philosophy injected by this book. It is plain and simple. Live as if it is our last day. This book reminded me that I let too many opportunities pass without even considering them, which I instantly regret right after. This is the main reason why I never had the opportunity to see Max. But this book has helped me overcome my long-standing hurdle. It told me that I am still capable of anything, and I have a lot to offer, so I better be ready to never stumble when fighting against my fears.
Seeing all valuable aspects in front of our eyes is a big step to make because, sometimes, we tend to forget to live for contentment due to the ambitious ones that attract us. The author of this book speaks the truth that life is not all about wishing and desiring what we do not have but actually realizing and treasuring what we have before we lose it. I think that losing something valuable is when we start losing ourselves in the process. And yes, we better manage to outnumber our unhealthy habits and decisions with centralizing ones. There is no one in charge of this life other than us. And for that, a very big thanks to this book for letting me realize that we are not in a race to compete in life with others. We just have our different timing, but we could all live our life to the max!
Very pleasantly surprised at the power of this book! I believe that this book has the ability to re-question our decisions, whether or not we are happy and content. Even if you think that you are living a great life, you will ask yourself if you really are living like one. That is the power of this structured book. It is like the book itself is eating us alive, replacing all the hidden failures with an extreme will to resurrect our passion and dedication to surpass a great level of attainment in life. I am certain that this process would lead the way to live and deal with the next tomorrow. We will all remember that this book is right here, screaming at the top of its lungs that it will never be too late for anyone to experience a great life. Also, if this book had attached its power to make me realize these things, imagine its scope if it will also reach other potential Vie Max-people.
You won't be disappointed by this one. This is a narrative report and maybe a compilation of all reasons to survive while intensifying our capacity to simply 'life'. I mean, it contains everything we can ask about life and what it can still provide to us. Erick DeBanff, the author, had never failed to show us the seriousness of living the moment as if it were our last. I shall declare that this book is satisfactory in terms of persuading the readers to believe that Vie Max's philosophy has a great pull in place to live a contented life. He knows how to put the stage and directly divert it into his renowned philosophy. I am totally sure that everything took its place perfectly as to how they were aligned to be. Overall, I really commend the author due to his brilliance in making a tapestry of life after death for us to relive the moment of Vie Maxing.
Changing the way, I view things is how I assure myself to live a good life. Fueling my mind with personal goals that will surely rampant in the old way that I have. Yes, that is how I dealt with life before, so I never obtained extreme peacefulness. There is that tiny bridge between uncertainty and fulfillment that I cannot depict where I can have a hold on. That is because I am also territorial, just like the one mentioned in the book. I know for sure that I never thought of truly accepting the way of letting other people do the same way as mine. I was an Anti-Vie Max, as you say it, before. The longer I stop, it also stops me from achieving other things in life. Thus, this book explained a specific phenomenon in my life, and I am grateful to say that we shall view Max without depriving others of the same.
The assembling perspectives of the author, Erick DeBanff, will surely teach the people how to live into the next 2 billion heartbeats of life – right to the max. Each story featured in this book really depicts a lot of sentiments that strike deeply into the remaining pieces of my existence. The placing of events was not perplexing or confusing, even if they were all conjoint. As I go deeper into this book, the deeper I reach the strings beyond me. It all connects to my passion which offers me great happiness. Also, it offers an unlimited spark, to begin with, so it left a huge block of truth deep within me. I reflected, big time, about how I should live my life. Therefore, I must say that the powers of Vie Max philosophy work for me. DeBanff effectively leads the intensive focus of giving importance to life and maximizing it within each and every heartbeat.
Reading this book has been one of the most effortless experiences I have had in a while. Those stories that were put together to move the idea of Vie Max philosophy towards the greater arena had become the building blocks of mind conditioning. The spotlight of producing the opposing sides was also made by the author – the Anti-Vie Max. Therefore, its main target is to make the readers believe that what they should attain in life is the Vie Max philosophy, for it possesses the ability to bring your 2 billion heartbeats into worthwhile turns of life. All situations he had given as part of his arguments were totally sound arguments and solid ones. The well-scrutinized and certainly the well-driven sequencing of events had formed a great escape to the ambitious facts of life. After reading the book, I can finally say that the proceedings of its salience functions attack the weakest part of an individual's experience to strengthen. This piece has become the checker of reality that people must-read.
Vie Max contains everything that I wanted to hear at the time of moving on. I experienced the darkest part of my life through an accident. I also have lived to the fullest and made myself happier than ever, but it is true that when everything is perfectly fine and falling into place, obstacles will meddle in the middle of your way just to test your principles and toughness. This is the point of measuring if we will let the obstacle win on top of our beliefs or not. It is like measuring the strongest among the rest until the last piece of our resistance, or worse until we perish. This will be the hardest challenge that we can encounter when we Vie Max. We cannot avoid it from happening because it is part of the nature of life. All we have to do is make out of it and express our gratitude when we survive it.
This book is like a brand new start for me. It changed my whole perspective and made me realize those things that I need to prioritize. I also acquired the essence of living with struggles because for us to live our life to the max, we also need to experience every inch of life. Meaning to say, there are hollows on the ground that will make us stumble but will keep us moving forward. In the very beginning, the book exclaimed that Vie Max would never be a clean, fast ride for everyone who will take the risk to obtain it. There will be a lot of ups and downs, but one thing is for sure, we must stand our ground and never hold back. Most importantly, let our experiences tell the process of our hardships that could truly reflect on other people. With this, we can have a continual and overflowing meaning in life.
What a great book! This is one of those that I will have to read again to truly digest everything. All chapters do continue to feed me a raging fire of significance. I am sure that each story was shared to reflect the current situation of other people of all ages and all walks of life. That is the reason why I viewed this book as a relatable and easy-to-blend-with type of book. It represents not only personal and life problems but also the problem within the societal aspects. The indifference of social classes and its adverse effects on the values and behaviors of the people were all included as another fact to resonate with changing one's life. It could be around the process that either contributes to or destructs an individual's path of achieving the fullness of life. I totally agreed because I also viewed people as connected souls. We will affect each other's journey as a lesson or as a puzzle piece that will fulfill the Vie Max philosophy, may we want it or not. Recommended.
