Book Reviews

Reading the book is a genuine talk by Rolf telling us what he learned in his successful life and what his observations of current life are. After years of concerns seeing how many youngsters are distracted with and by the multitude of the superficial issues thrown at them, Rolf has taken the initiative to try and help them. Youth have few demands set on themselves and it is no longer expected that they stand out and deliver performance. Consequently, many wake up one day and realize that they haven’t achieved anything. Just because of being distracted. Rolf correctly observes that youngsters haven’t been challenged to perform, because we have decided that telling them strongly is wrong and sadly many are helplessly lost. Rolf reminds them with examples of how his own life went, of how some easy but extremely important considerations help anyone in finding a way to success. Like the proverb says, if you don’t know where you are going, chances are you won’t get there! Rolf wants you and all youngsters to think about direction and motivation. Certainly worth your time. It can help adults too.

Hi Rolf! Yes, I have read through the book, and I refer back frequently to remind myself of the thought process. The fact that you remind us where we originate from in the "Generation table" brings perspective. Ben's story could be in any career path eg the music industry which is a survival of the fittest! My situation, as recently retired, in retrospect, bring clarity to so many experiences I encountered. Congratulations to you Rolf! Logical and clearly explained! Thank you,

I only wish I had read "A life that matters" when I was younger. It is an exceptionally insightful book. What resonated with me was the way Rolf Eichenberger explains the interrelationship between the eight fundamentals of a meaningful life. Seeing how these principles connect and reinforce one another was both profound and inspiring. In today's world, where so much of our time is consumed by endless scrolling and digital distractions, this book serves as a timely reminder to focus on what truly matters.

I recently read the book "A life that matters". The most interesting part of this book is the way that the author takes you through situations in life and the method he used to handle the situation to get the best outcome. I have started using these methods and can honestly say that it helped me to resolve tricky situations. I really enjoyed the book as it is written in an easy reading format.

It really is an incredibly insightful piece of work! I feel like my understanding of my own mental processes has really opened up through reading this. I wish I had read it when I was 18!! The inter-relationships of the eight fundamentals make so much sense.
