Author Description

The past is difficult to forget, but to live your desired life, you can't let regrets or accomplishments be a stopping point. They're your starting point. Instead of letting the past define you, Staying Lit! helps you determine how to use the past as a springboard for forward momentum. In his first book, Change Your Thinking, Ignite Your Life, Kevin J. Gardner taught us how to build a satisfying life. In this follow up, we get the Owner's Manual that-in simple to understand language-teaches the critical evaluation skills required to keep our engines humming and our direction of travel true to plan. Gardner excels at encouraging readers to dig into their emotions and understand the "why" that drives our actions. But we're not off the hook yet! Once understood, we are then asked to hold that reasoning up to the light and compare it to our goals. Does this habit/thought/feeling take us closer to or farther away from our desired life? In this way, we can catch bad habits before they take us too far off course. More importantly, we walk away with a set of concrete tools to help us achieve the life we want. Encouraging, honest, open-minded, and self-aware, Staying Lit! The Owner's Manual for Your Ignited Life is the book you need to make your desired life a reality.
