Rule 62: Meditations on Success and Spirituality (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990944725)

Forget the couch and the TV and say goodbye to punching the clock. Rule 62 is a wake-up call and manifesto for living life to the fullest: he who makes the most memories wins. It's time to get out of bed every morning like the Raiders of the Lost Ark theme song is playing on your alarm.

Equal parts raucous and soulful, essayist Jared Dillian shines a provocative light on some of the deepest questions humans have asked. What does it mean to live a life full of meaning? How does love really work? What is genuine wealth-and how should you acquire and use it? How do you avoid regrets? How do you respond to betrayal, trauma, or illness?

Over the course of 79 introspective and often hilarious essays, drawing deeply on his own experiences with setbacks and success, Dillian shares surprising and thought-provoking answers to all these and more.

Like: discovering the importance of saying yes to things. Why character matters as much as smarts. The counterintuitive way to let go of resentments. Why hating other people's success condemns you to mediocrity. The power of just doing the thing already. The importance of being worthy of compliments. Why the unplanned is better than the planned. How living in the present brings peak performance. Why dying is one of the most important things we will ever do.

And more-much more-in a dazzling and page-turning collection from one of the most entertaining writers at work today.
