My Reality Check Bounced
Jason Dorseys twenty-something's guide to cashing in on your real-world dreams
Jason Dorsey's My Reality Check Bounced is a readable, useful book that provides good and helpful tips for young adults frustrated and disillusioned with their lives.
Jason Dorsey's My Reality Check Bounced is a book for twenty-somethings disillusioned with their chase of the American dream, lacking purpose in life, and looking for a path to success and happiness. The message of this book is relevant for all of us, twenty-somethings and fifty-somethings alike. The message is simply this: stand up and create the life you want.
Though still in his twenties, Dorsey has the wisdom about life and life-meaning of someone decades older. At age eighteen, he dropped out of college and a promising career to write the book that was his passion, Graduate to Your Perfect Job. Since then, his passion has earned him the Austin Under 40 Entrepreneur of the Year Award, along with appearances on the Today show.
Though Dorsey speaks in the language of his twenty-something peers, his message rings true for all of us: our lives unfold as a result of the choices we make. We're creating our lives with each choice to do or not do something.
For those who aren't sure what they want, Dorsey provides suggestions to help clarify a person's passions. He advises: "look inside for your answers" and "be honest about what inspires, delights, and excites you."
My Reality Check Bounced effectively deals with recognizing opportunity, dealing with fear and self doubt, building a support network, and balancing your life.
This is a readable and useful book for anyone feeling stuck in a life that falls short in fulfillment and excitement. Consider this thoughtful gift for your favorite twenty-something young person, or someone twenty-something in spirit.
