Book Review of The Power Based Life by Mike Flynt
Posted: December 7, 2010 by colbystream in Book Reviews
If you don’t enjoy self-help books, this is the read for you.
Mike Flynt, creator of Powerbase Fitness, takes you through a journey of how to discover and use your own life power bases– the things that will give your life joy and energy. The key characteristic that separates this book from self-help books is its lack of steps. While Mike shares principles and concrete examples of what you can do to discover your power bases, he doesn’t list a step-by-step guide. Instead, the book is keyed toward a conversation that gets you thinking and helps you discover the actions you need to take.
I found two aspects of this book most compelling. First, Mike uses a ton of concrete examples and metaphors. These range from football to religion, from music to automotive. Nothing helps me stay engaged or understand the author better than inserting these images in my head in such variety.
Second, Mike advocates for a contented life. Though he doesn’t say this directly, all of his principles and stories are geared toward how to live your life more contentedly. Don’t get me wrong! Mike believes in setting and achieving goals, but only when they are the correct goals. And when you’re striving after these, you feel more content with your life.
