A Book for Your Funeral
Steve Jobs had copies of the book "Autobiography of a Yogi" passed out at his funeral as the last message to his friends and family. It was a book that profoundly impacted Jobs’ life, and he wanted to leave it behind in hopes it would have a lasting impact on those left behind.
When I heard about this, I asked one of my long-time clients what book he would consider giving out at his funeral. He thought for a moment and said, "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz. I couldn't agree with him more. It's an excellent book. Here are the Four Agreements:
Be impeccable with your word.
Don't take anything personally.
Don't make assumptions.
Always do your best.
What would your book be?
