Limitless: Nine Steps to Launch Your One Extraordinary Life

I have adopted this book in my college-level business course. It is an exceptional resource on many levels. At a 35,000 feet level, Limitless is truly about personal responsibility and accountability. As the title suggests, Peter Ruppert provides nine steps for readers to launch THEIR extraordinary life. The emphasis on 'their' is important. At its heart, this book does an exceptional job of providing a framework for readers to set goals and, even more importantly, create a plan to achieve these goals. Seizing on the increasingly unfamiliar yet exceedingly important idea that the world doesn't owe you anything, Mr. Ruppert creates a sense of urgency surrounding the importance of recognizing that your future is in YOUR hands. While this may be daunting to some readers, it is important to stress that once this realization settles in, the book provides examples/framework for how one can create the future they desire.As a resource in a college class, the exercises at the end of each chapter provide excellent 'homework'. Additionally, the worksheets, aka "success plans" on the book website can be freely downloaded and used by readers. These are extremely helpful in solidifying one's plan of action and as a way of holding the reader accountable.As someone that regularly seeks to empower young people to achieve greatness, this is an excellent resource!

Limitless serves is filled with practical wisdom to help you achieve your personal goals. This isn't to say that the author provides you with steps that will eliminate any hurdles or missteps along your life journey. Rather, he contextualizes the importance of taking a disciplined approach to achieve your dreams in order to overcome the obstacles we will all undoubtedly face. He does this by sharing anecdotes about successful peoples' journeys and personalizes this with examples from his own life. This style brings these key concepts to life.Instead of just sharing theoretical concepts, Ruppert includes a place to develop action steps for your own journey and shares the resources that helped himdevelop this practical approach to defining and pursuing your personal goals.Limitless is a quick, practical read that I will revisit often to reinforce the actions that will help me along my personal journey to live my "own extraordinary life."

I purchased Limitless for my young adult son as he is early in his career. But I have to admit, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found applications and a tune up after over 30 years in my executive career and in pursuing my personal dreams and definition of success.Peter Ruppert is very relatable and humble in sharing both his success and also his trials and hurdles in pursuing his dream's and success. He has every right to speak on this subject as he has tested, refined and certainly delivered on the nine steps. As I am convinced and passionate about mentoring and teaching life skills to teens and young adults, this book is definitely in the curriculum going forward and required reading in the future.While I regret not implementing a limitless discipline and "spirit" in my younger days, I still am blessed that the idea of being Limitless in Life is a timeless message and the well defined applications and direction in each chapter regardless of age. For me, this book was journey of remembering my hurdles and milestones in my own life that reinforces a better roadmap for success and happiness when "Limitless"!

I bought Mr. Ruppert's book when it was first published. I love leadership books - Especially the practical ones. The audience for this book is wide reaching. I took the chapters and brought them to the dinner table to discuss with my teens. They don't want to be "taught" but we has some very interesting discussions on what it means to lead, how to follow your passion and the gift of tenacity.....all ideas covered in this book.Limitless is accessible, filled with resources and a great gift for a grad or young adult starting in a career. Kudos to Mr. Ruppert for this first book - I am sure it will not be his last.

My first reaction was "Why wasn't this available to me earlier on in my life / career?" The book is filled with insightful, yet relatable and applicable, pieces of advice and steps to launching a truly meaningful life and reaching our full potential. Oftentimes, in reading books from successful individuals, we're sometimes left with the impression they were overnight success stories, and the book tends to emphasize the high points, but lacks in applicable, day to day steps that can be implemented into our lives for self-improvement or in the vulnerable, relatable components for those who may be struggling with how to unlock their potential or hit that next inflection point in their lives. I found the content of "Limitless" to be extremely relevant to anyone wherever they may be in life or their careers.I have now begun using this with a high school group I advise / coach, in addition to some college students I mentor, all of whom have found the content to be extremely valuable, and even intend to provide copies to the rest of our management team at work. Thank you, Peter Ruppert, for sharing your story with us and providing us with some stepping stones to launch our extraordinary lives!
