The Life Compass - by Samer Abdo (Hardcover)

About the Book

A practical guide to lifelong growth and the last self-help book you'll ever need

For years, author Samer Abdo explored the wisdom of great thinkers, from Rumi to Marcus Aurelius and Robert Greene. While their insights were profound, he noticed a recurring challenge: Self-help books often inspire but fail to create lasting change. Their lessons fade, feel impractical, or lack clear direction. Worse, it is rare to find advice on more than one subject in any given book. This forces us to sift through countless titles to grasp key concepts.

The Life Compass breaks that pattern, bridging the gap between insight and action. Here, you'll find clear guidance for real transformation.

This practical guide covers 11 key areas of growth including worry, authenticity, conflict, and relationships. It presents 111 actionable rules like:

- Be grateful for what you have while aspiring for more

- Pursue your dreams passionately while practicing non-attachment to their outcome

-Other people's opinions of you are not your business

- Avoid the if-then model for happiness

Each rule goes beyond theory with real-world steps for meaningful change, reinforced with insights from history's greatest minds, case studies that bring the lessons to life, and reflection questionnaires to help you track your progress and integrate the principles into daily living.

This is a transformational toolkit that you will return to again and again. The book's 111 rule format allows you to choose your approach: Follow a structured journey chapter by chapter, or jump to specific rules for immediate, situation-based guidance.

With The Life Compass, you will not only find your path in life--you will walk it with confidence, wisdom, and purpose.
