As humans, we get to choose what we believe and who we want to be. This book is a ruthlessly pragmatic guide to creating your own answers to life's biggest questions.
Each of this book's four chapters covers one of the most important questions a person must ask themselves
- What is the purpose of my life?
- How can I best realize the purpose of my life?
- Who do I want to be?
- How do I want other people to think of me?
Rather than give you answers to these questions, this guide provides a framework that helps you develop your own answers while equipping you with the neuroscientific tools necessary to transform yourself into whomever you choose to be.
If you are looking for a light read that will make you feel good about yourself, this isn’t the book for you. If you want to take the time to think hard, take full ownership of the person you have allowed yourself to become, and permanently transform yourself into the best iteration of that person then you have found your book.
The book was created as the work of a non-profit institution (http//pragmatist.guide/) dedicated to helping people think through the big questions in life without leading them to a specific answer, all proceeds from the sale of the book go to the nonprofit and not the author.

- I grew up in a cult. A real cult. Most people don't realize it is one, and I don't like to talk about it. I never do. But I grew up being brainwashed and indoctrinated. Believe this... Think that... These people are evil... I always knew deep down that something was off, REALLY off, but when things are whispered in your ear from the time you are a child, and they are the only things that are whispered year after year, who asks questions? Not me! In fact, the first time my "religion" was attacked I ignored it. Almost 10 years later it was attacked again, and that time it caused tremendous upheaval. I sat there listening to it, knowing, absolutely, that it was true, but denying it anyway.
It really is amazing what the human mind will go through...the extents to which it reaches...to protect itself from fear, doubt, and insecurity. By that point, I was even deeply bitter about my religion, and had been inactive for years, and yet I still denied all of it.
It took me months to come around. Months of the words running through my mind again and again. Months before I admitted to myself what I'd always known. That all of it was a load of trash. That was years ago, and I'm still not over it. This really isn't the appropriate time or place, but on my blog I recently reviewed a book called Panorama that nearly had me raving from a few stray sentences about my aforementioned cult. So trust me, I get it! The truth about what you've been indoctrinated with is hard to face, and nobody wants to do it, not even me.
But I also happen to know that the happiest years of my life have been the years since I was finally forced to figure out for myself what I believe, what I want, and where I want to go. This book was incredibly, PROFOUNDLY accurate. It isn't an easy read, and the concepts will likely make many people balk. However, that means little to how critical the information is, and how much it could change the entire trajectory of a life. - I think this is a great resource for those looking to develop a systematic approach to life, rather than merely taking what comes to them.
- Too many people float through life, not knowing who they are or what they want, and without any action to try make something of their life. In this book I was introduced to the concepts of objective function, ideologies, and standards of evidence. I see how they can be used to understand what a person believes and why they might believe it. Although, I believe there may be some danger in tearing apart your current ideologies, to examine them, I feel the last half of the book that concentrates on changing who you are and changing your self-concepts so that you can be the best you for performing your objective function can be very useful.
- A unique and fun spin on a life reference manual. Not overly idealistic - this book solicits just the right mix of deep questions and simple checklists
- I thoroughly enjoyed The Pragmatist's Guide to Life. I've read through the entire book, and am now starting over from the beginning with my own notes and observations. I found the discussion of the different types of friendships, in Step 4, to be especially helpful. I'm so impressed with this book that I ordered 5 additional copies as gifts to my children and significant other. I highly recommend the book!
- There aren’t any or enough organizations or materials that help people decide for themselves what they want to believe, what their values are, and what they want to achieve with their lives. This book explores all these topics and more. A must read for anyone who wants to understand who they are and better yet, who they want to be.
- If you are ready to get real with yourself and answer some tough questions.... this book delivers. Shouldn’t we all take the time to ask ourselves, what we really believe and why? And then, be willing to change our minds once new information is presented. I especially appreciate that this book presents both sides to the arguments, and then let’s you decide. Let’s not go about life blindly following the person in front of us. It is time for us all to think for ourselves, decide who we are, what we stand for and then intentionally present our voices to the world. This book inspires you to do just that.
- hard reading at times but exhilarating at others. Well worth the time and money. Will take work to implement the advice
