Do You ever feel that if you weren’t so busy you would be happier, healthier, more effective, more fulfilled… and maybe even a better person?

Once every twenty-five years or so, a book comes along that perfectly identifies our common search and struggle for happiness, and teaches us how to find lasting fulfillment in a changing world. This is that book. Not since M. Scott Peck Published The Road Less Traveled have we experienced a voice as refreshing and authentic as Matthew Kelly’s.

In The Rhythm of Life, Matthew Kelly exposes the lifestyle challenges and problems that face us in this age obsessed with noise, speed, and perpetual activity. Kelly's message rings out with a truth that is challenging and unmistakably attractive Who you become is infinitely more important than what you do, or what you have. Are you ready to meet the-best-version-of-yourself?

The Rhythm of Life will help you to bring into focus who you are and why you are here. Through this book Matthew Kelly will help you discover your legitimate needs, deepest desires, and unique talents. He will introduce you to be the-best-version-of-yourself and lead you to a life filled with passion and purpose.

Kelly has a way of thinking and writing that cuts through the stifling clutter of our everyday lives and delivers a clarity that is both refreshing and liberating.

The Rhythm of Lifeis a brilliant and clear-eyed rejection of the chaotic lifestyle that has captured the world, written with common sense, humor, and extraordinary insight. This book is destined to change lives!

Here are just a few of the timeless creeds that Matthew Kelly presents in The Rhythm of Life…

The Meaning of Life: the-best-version-of-yourself...

""You were born to become the-best-version-of-yourself. This is your essential purpose. Embrace this one solitary truth and it will change your life more than anything you have ever learned. In every situation, as yourself, “Which of the option before me will help me become the best-version-of-myself?’”

About Choices…

“Everything is a choice. This is life’s greatest truth and its hardest lesson. It is a great truth because it reminds us of our power. Not power over others, but the power to be ourselves and to live the life we have imagined. It is a hard lesson because it causes us to realize that we have chosen the life we are living right now.”

About Courage…

“The measure of your life will be the measure of your courage. Courage animates us, brings us to life, and makes everything else possible. Fear stops more people from doing something with their lives than lack of ability, contacts, resources, or any other single variable. Fear paralyzes the human spirit. Life takes courage.”

About Energy…

“Energy is our most valuable resources, not time. The rhythm of life is a way of life that brings our legitimate needs, our deepest desires, and our unique talents into harmony with each other. The result: passion, purpose, and energy.”

“I loved this book! It provides significant insights into living a happier, healthier, more rewarding life!"

Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

“Matthew Kelly’s The Rhythm of Life is a treasure for all of those who dare to believe that there is a best-version-of-themselves… miss it at your peril!”

Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager

Matthew Kelly is an author, a world renowned speaker, and a business consultant to some of the world’s most admired companies, Matthew Kelly has dedicated his life to helping people and organizations become the-best-version-of-themselves. To learn more visit Matthewkelly.com

Matthew Kelly is a best-selling author, speaker, thought leader, entrepreneur, consultant, spiritual leader, and innovator.

He has dedicated his life to helping people and organizations become the-best-version-of-themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Self-Help Book, More usefull details from his other books.

I really loved this book.
I initially read it from the library, but I decided to buy a copy for myself so that I can reference back to it, and also lend it to my family and friends.

I really want to give it to my sister, who is now entering college and trying to figure out what to do with her life.
As for me, I am also trying to figure out how to live a more purpose driven life with work and family, and Mr. Kelly’s book couldn’t have come a better time.

Mr. Kelly’s writing style is so easy to read that it almost feels conversational.
It is a quick, easy, entertaining and inspiring read.
I love the stories / analogies he uses to present his points.

I used to know Mr. Kelly as mostly a Catholic self-help author, but this book really is a general self-help book for people of any denomination / spiritual or non-spiritual outlook, trying to lead a more purpose-driven life or simply figuring out what to do in life.

I really loved this book because it went into more detail on some of the same general points concerning work that interested me from his Catholic books (Dynamic Catholic, Rediscover Catholicism).

Finally, his steps towards a “best-version-of-yourself” really are simple and common sense, which is why one can immediately start to apply it to their lives.

LIVE A LIFE UNCOMMON!

To not read this book is to rob yourself of a life lived more meaningfully and more passionately. Matthew Kelly is more than a genius. A man with unmatched intelligence and a heart and spirit to match. At the age of 31, he has the clarity, wisdom, and insight to break through directly to the heart of the matter and enlighten us with the truth. Life is not about doing and having. Life is about being. 'Who you become is infinitely more important than what you do or what you have.' I have read the book four times and appreciate everything in my life more because of it. Every person, every relationship, every day, every breath! When you know what life is all about, you know the right answer to every question asked. When you know what life is about, you know what you should dedicate your time to. When you know what life is about, focusing comes naturally. 'Dedicate yourself to the things that deserve your dedication.' Matthew Kelly explains that the purpose of life is for us to become the-best-version-of-ourselves. The world doesn't need another Mother Theresa, the world doesn't need another Tiger Woods, the world needs you! Each of us can do one thing better than any other person alive at this moment in history. Matthew Kelly encourages us to discover our genius. My review doesn't even scrape the surface of the marvels of this book. READ THIS BOOK! There is not a person on this earth who wouldn't benefit from Matthew's incomparable message.

Excellent book! This should be a required read for people of all ages! I read this book over and over before actually copying pages and taping them to my wall. I purchased a copy for my husband and a copy for each of my kids. My intent is for my children to read this when then get out of high school then again in college then again after college and again and again. I am 40 years old and this book has helped change my life for the better. I can’t imagine what it would have done for me if I read it when I was 25 years old. Matthew Kelly discusses such basic principals in this book but he takes everything so deep that it hits your soul. I was able to refocus my life as a wife, mom, and professional. I felt it gave me courage to know becoming the best version of myself wasn’t something out of reach but very reachable day by day step by step. Thank you Matthew Kelly from me and my whole family.

Kelly encourages to be the "best versions" of ourselves, to take control of our lives. He employs a wide variety of techniques to show us how--parables, philosophical reflections, personal confession, appeals to common sense, examples of great famous lives, and "how-to" tips for prayer, meditation, and developing good habits. While I'm not sure he's breaking a lot of new ground, he's easy to understand, intelligent, challenging and persuasive. His values and his suggestions make enormous sense, especially when he advises us to spend less time on doing and more time on being. If you feel like you're drifting through life, this book could be great medicine!
