Living Forward
Michael Hyatt and Daniel Harkavy put together Living Forward as a practical workbook around a single idea. Most people drift through their lives without writing down what they actually want, and the gap between intention and action gets wider every year. Their fix is a structured Life Plan, a document you write once and revise on a schedule.
The book walks through their process step by step. There are templates, sample plans, and questions designed to surface assumptions you’ve been avoiding.
The tone is straightforward business-coaching style. Hyatt has a publishing and executive background, and the framing tilts toward people in mid-career who have the time and resources to do the kind of planning the book proposes.
It’s short. The actual exercises take longer than the reading. If you’ve used Stephen Covey’s First Things First, this is in that family but more compact.
