This book will inspire change to create a better future
This book really spoke to me. As a financial planner, our work involves helping clients negotiate with their future selves to make progress from where they are.Ben Hardy does an excellent job giving us tools for becoming the person we need to be now and transforming our lives as a result. Ben also is living this himself in his own life from all accounts.I’m thankful to Dan Sullivan and Babs Smith of Strategic Coach for sending me this book as their client and I’d encourage anyone who wants to grow to read this book immediately.

What an awesome experience
Wow! I am so grateful that I pushed through and read this book. It has prompted me to complete Benjamin Hardy’s other books. I own two more written by him. Plus I am so excited about seeing my life in 6 months. I no longer have to have a 5 year plan to move forward in Life. Awesome read!

This is my epiphany and I'm only a few pages in...
I’m reading this book because I'm a fan of Dr. Hardy’s previous work and knew it would support my current endeavors. But I didn't expect that it would instantly change my relationship with my father.He's a great man. Think: ”Most interesting man in the world…” from the Dos Equis beer commercial. He's got gravitas... Green Beret - special forces, 6th-degree Tae Kwon Do Karate Master and accomplished surrealist painter - art instructor.Lately, I've been struggling in our relationship because he’s pissed at how age is limiting him at this point in life. I’ve been trying to help and when his anger is directed at me, it feels like a betrayal since I've spent most of my whole life adapting and catering to his PTSD. It makes me feel sad and no matter how I try to help, it just causes friction. So I’ve been staying away not knowing what else to do.Last night I read the chapter about Hope and the future self. It dawned on me that he’s done everything and seen so much in life. He isn’t working toward any goals. He’s retired and basically bored out of his mind which inflames his PTSD. (Not a good combo believe me).Well, I’ve always wanted to learn to paint. I think NOW is the time… I called and asked him to give me a solid foundation for painting.I'M IN TEARS to tell you what it means to hear my father, this great man - who spent his entire life 'becoming' his future self and achieving great heights - thank ME for giving him the opportunity to teach me what he knows. We set a bunch of dates.We're friends again. He's got a goal. I'm excited to learn. It’s going to be so awesome.Thank You Dr. Hardy!!! (and thanks to anyone still reading)

Escape from being Stuck-Live Life by Design
I have a small library of books that I consider treasures. I read them repeatedly because I always get something new.Or rather, I have changed, and I see something new.Be Your Future Self Now will be added to this library. It changed how I see myself. I now clearly understand why I get stuck and what to do about it.It’s a step-by-step manual on how to design the life you crave.I got crystal clear on three goals I want to achieve over the next three years. And I have a plan on how I will make it happen. Now that I’m clear about what I want to achieve, I will make decisions today as if I’m already that person– three years from now.However, there is a catch. It requires work. Lots of it. The ideas and concepts are science-based research–not fantasy or “The Secret.”For example, I want to hit a net worth objective over the next three years. Based on my current ability, this number is not achievable. What would my future self do today to put me on that path? Since reading the book, I have hired a new team of experts, immersing myself in financial education.If you’re looking for a quick fix or are allergic to work–this is not the book for you.If you are stuck and want to move past this state and live the life you crave – add this book to your permanent library.

Pretty good
I have this book in Kindle, hardback, and audiobook. I've also bought the Kindle version for a few people as the concepts within are important.The premise is that our ideal future self already exists, and we can 'borrow' from it right now in order to help create it.I've discussed the ideas with my teenage daughter as she is anxiety-ridden. We've discussed her ideal future self, and that the best way to become her ideal self is to borrow from it to use now. She has since joined a drama club and an animal rescue centre.'Where there is no vision, the people perish'. Creating a vision of your ideal future self gives one (who may feel hopeless) something to aim for, and the concept may well be semantics but it does seem to work.My main gripe is that there is a chapter where the good Doctor goes on and on about God. I was brought up in a deeply religious family, school, and social setting. Even I found this chapter in the book was a bit much.Four and a half stars out of Five.Well worth owning, reading, implementing, sharing.

This is a fantastic book
I have been following Dr Benjamins Hardy's work for some time now.I bought his previous book and watch his excellent youtube videosIn my opinion he is the go to authority on prospection -I particularly like how he uses a huge range of sources - he has exposed me to some amazing books and ideasMy favourite part of the book was how he suggested some practicalways of communicating much more intentionally with your future self.This is an important book but really accessible and easy to read.

Honestly, this is a life changing book - I’m blown away
My mentor recommended this to me & honestly I didn’t expect much but wow this book has blown my mind.I read many self-help books in my time but this is in my top 3. The author packs so much into this book that I think I will need to read it 3 times to extract the riches from it.It’s a brilliant concept which helps the reader imagine their future self & helps you create a roadmap to get you there. I can’t recommend this book enough. Do yourself a favour & buy it. You won’t regret it.
