What Matters Most

Matt says -”What Matters Most” takes you on a journey to work out what really matters most in your life. Why? Well when you get that nailed then everything else falls into line. Hyrum Smith does an amazing job making this a process you actually want to do. A small word of warning…..if you really want to follow the process then you will be expected to do many exercises on paper (like making lists, statements etc) and for some this can be a little tedious. The effort is well worth it as you will know exactly what matters most to you and the end! Hyrum is Vice Chairman on the Franklin Covey board so he really does know his stuff!

To sum up – Top book which really gets down deep into the detail. You will need to have pen and paper handy!
