My Review of John Tesh's Intelligence for Your Life

When I heard that John Tesh's Intelligence for Your Life was coming out in book form, I had to get a copy of the book. I listen to his radio show on Intelligence for Your Life almost daily, quote things that I hear to my college students and share things with my family.

It's not hard to see why this book has quickly climbed up the New York Times Best Seller list.

Almost eight million people across the United States and Canada tune in to John Tesh's syndicated show each week heard in over 260 stations. With his staff of 10 full-time researchers, Tesh has uncovered a wealth of practical information and life-changing choices and shares his "intelligence for your life" tips on living a better more intelligent life.

Intellligence for Your Life - the Popular Radio Show is now available as a best selling book.

Excerpt Chapter One - Finding Your Passion 

From Intelligence for Your Life

Wherever you are right now in your life, there lives within you an urge to go deeper. To be useful. To be alive. When you resist that urge, you kill any chance of living a life of purpose.

Living on Purpose

I love asking people big life questions. It's a hobby of mine. It doesn't always advance my friendships or win me new ones, but it can be wonderfully challenging nonetheless, for both the asker and the askee.

Here's my favorite question: "Tell me the deepest desire of your heart." You want to see someone frozen in his or her tracks? Just ask that question. And while you're at it, ask yourself. It is my opinion that very few of us find that deep desire within us. So each day we pursue happiness instead of desire-what our hearts desire. If someone asks you to state the deepest desire of your heart and you don't have an answer, there's a good chance you're living your life merely as a reaction to what happens to you. You know, stimulus response. Rats do that; ring bell, get cheese.

The successful people I have interviewed and met in my travels all share these important distinctions: They know what they desire. They are sure of it. They live it intentionally. They know what makes them come alive, and therefore they know where their compass points. Sadly, it took me years to accept my heart's deepest desire. Notice I said "accept." We all are born with our own personal desires, but a great many of us spend our lives denying those desires and instead go with what the world would have us do. Or maybe we just eventually give up and distract (or drown) ourselves in video games, text messaging, shopping, food, alcohol, or some other self-medicating habit.

So, what is your deepest desire? It's a question first posed to me by John Eldredge in his book Wild at Heart. What is that one thing, when you are doing it, that causes you to lose track of time? What do you do that gives you great pleasure and a sense of purpose without regard to monetary reward? If you won the lottery, or if you had only one year to live, what would you do?
