ABOUT THE BOOK

Thinking ahead, setting goals and delayed gratification are becoming less common in our world of Now. I want to be a millionaire now. I want to be a corporate VP now. I want to be healthier now. What do our children and young adults hear on tv, the internet and social media? Buy crypto. Eat paleo. Eat all carbs. Spend money on products now because 'you're worth it'. What you are really worth is career success, happiness, a great family and financial security. These take a lifetime to achieve. Sorry to burst your Now Bubble. Rovira reminds us that planning and sacrifice now pay off bigger than you can imagine in the long run. It's not all 'sacrifice everything now' however. He advocates planning ahead while enjoying the journey. He gives you specific ways to navigate your future. I've heard said 'a goal without a plan is just a dream'. Rovira give you goals and ideas for planning so you avoid the dream trap. Sound advice that pierces through the Now chatter so loud in our daily lives.

Efrain Rovira did an incredible job putting together a step-by-step easy to read book to assist and guide his readers to a better future. That is, a better tomorrow by focusing on decisions made in one's life today. With my background as both a software engineer and a physical therapist, I really enjoyed the author's analytical approach throughout. I have already recommended Efrain's book to both my children, as well as others. This both forces careful introspection and is a must read in my opinion.

At first I thought this book did not really apply to me. As a guy in his 50’s I thought everything about my life was pretty much figured out. However, as I went on reading the book I realized with a little planning I can maximize the life I have ahead and make sure all the pillars that create a lasting happiness are well positioned. My favorite chapter is the one about relationships, of course one of the most important pillars. I’m sure others will have their favorite chapter and to be sure there is a chapter for everyone regardless of what stage you are in life. I wish I had this book earlier in life especially in regards to career, there is some good advice I could have used when starting out on my profession.

The me of tomorrow is a book that captures your attention from the beginning and makes you think about your present, even if you are in your 50s and what can you do about the “me” of tomorrow. It is never too late to evaluate and reassess the future. Besides the chapter about relationships, which are fundamental in all aspects of life, I also enjoyed the one about the me at work as it was very insightful about career goals. Excellent reading!

Excelente lectura obligada para jóvenes y no tan jóvenes! Es un libro de lectura sencilla, un cofre del tesoro lleno de prácticos consejos para la vida cotidiana, así como profundas referencias de autores reconocidos. Pero lo más valioso y lo que más captura la atención, es el relato de experiencias personales del autor en un entorno familiar para el lector latinoamericano. El libro ofrece esperanza, guía, y nostalgia de circunstancias familiares, para dejar al lector con ganas para volver a leer capítulos y líneas que ameritan ser bien asimiladas.

If you're searching for a way to organize your thoughts about where you want to be in the next 10 years and beyond this book will give you the tools you need. Lots of great ideas, examples, worksheets all organized to make sense. I'm past the age this book is primarily targeted for but I found it motivated me to think about what I want to do with the rest of my life and take some action. Liked it so much I got copies for my kids.
