Living an Extraordinary Life
Why are some people able to live extraordinary and joyful lives while, for others, life seems repetitive, flat, a giant yawn, an exercise in high drama or run by fear? Robert White does not pretend to have all the answers. However, after over thirty years founding and/or leading companies like Lifespring and ARC that have graduated over one million, two hundred thousand participants from high-impact personal and organizational effectiveness seminars, he’s in a good position to help you explore what works — and doesn’t work — in your life. After selling out the hardcover edition, this is the the revised third edition deluxe softcover.

5 Stars Inspiring and down-to-earth
I loved this book because of the real-people stories. This book is a down-to-earth guide on how to live in the moment and what it takes to live responsibly–and, therefore, successfully. Thanks to Robert White for sharing so much of his expereince and lessons.
5 Stars Makes so much sense
Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (7/06)
“Living an Extraordinary Life” was written to help you find happiness and fulfillment within your life. It is written around a framework of three concepts that need to be worked on in order for us to achieve our goals. These concepts are: Awareness, Responsibility and Communication. White teaches you how to apply these concepts into your life so that you can find your true purpose and achieve your goals. White uses eye catching chapter titles, lists of the differences between ordinary people and extraordinary
people, and meaningful quotes to get you thinking about what is coming in the chapter. White also points out behaviors and thought patterns that we tend to have that keep us just “ordinary” and not very happy. He discusses what extraordinary people do to keep themselves at that higher level. A lot has to do with how we deal with a situation. An extraordinary person can be going through a rough time, like us, but how they process what they are going through tends to be very different from what we are processing.
Everything that he writes makes so much sense. This is the type of book that will take you some time to read. It is also a good to time to be journaling what you are thinking and feeling. I know that this book has changed my life. It is up to me to continue to
work on what I need to, so that I stay at this higher level.
“Living an Extraordinary Life” is a keeper, do not let this book out of your hands. You will want to read it again at many points in your life. If you want a friend to read it, which you will, buy them a copy and hold on to yours!
5 Stars Outstanding Read for Everyone
Extraordinary Book. It personal and heartfelt and has something for everyone. I love it.
5 Stars Should be standard issue!
Robert White’s book should be issued as standard equipment as you exit the womb and referenced every day for the rest of your life.
We tend to think that living an extraordinary life must be complicated and difficult – but it’s easy. It’s far easier than living a difficult and mundane life. It’s all about perception. I wish I had learned his lessons long ago.
5 Stars Well Written–Take a chance and read this book
I just finished reading Living an Extraordinary Life. I have been around a range of trainings and programs over the years. What I liked about Robert’s style is that he lays out the fundamentals, with examples and tips, on living a life one wants rather than the one people seemingly just follow.
The book reminded me and reinforced approaches that have always worked well for me. I am human and drift into being at the effect of circumstances. This book provides a gentle yet powerful nudge on where my attention and intention should be daily. I like the writing style, with short topics right to the point. I could read a few chapters, then think about how they apply to my life today. Great style, great book. Take advantage of this book.
