Purchase options and add-ons
No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford's The Best Year of Your Life is a call to action to stop pretending that the future will bring you the life of your dreams and to instead start living your dreams in this moment and for the rest of your life.
Many of us spend our days thinking, talking and dreaming about what our lives could be like 'if only ...'. We make resolutions, we follow a new diet, we start exercise routines – we begin working on our lifelong goals and then we give up, get too busy and forget about what's truly important to us. Another year passes by and our dreams remain out of reach. But what if today you discovered that the life you've always wanted is right in front of you, well within your grasp? Are you ready to live it?
Debbie Ford not only answers these questions but offers a proven, practical blueprint for making today – this moment – the beginning of the best year of your life.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2024Great book to start the new year with.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2015This is just a wonderful little book to read. If you are looking to be happy this will help. If you enjoy being the victim and wallowing in despair and stagnation, then this is not your cup of tea. I actually bought a book for a person just like my description, and while meeting with friends a mutual friend thanked them for giving them such a fine and helpful book. They then said yes isn't it wonderful and looked at me smiling, everyone now knowing they never even opened it, let alone read it.
The reason I told that little story is that there are some exercises stemming from examples in this book that require what is called effort, also known as action. If you are willing to put forth effort or action you will be rewarded with positive results.
I saddens me sometimes that so many people put so much effort into their own happiness and well being. Often times these same people are always helping others, many times at their own expense.
Be good to yourself. You deserve to be happy, and this book may just be the thing that you are looking for to get started on a better path.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016good book. My friends and I started a small book club over this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2005Before buying this book, I noticed that there were substantially more reviews submitted by women than men. I would like to note, however, that this book has excellent insights for both sexes and would make a great gift. Although it stands to reason that the basic principles should be universal, some self help books have a decidedly sexist slant. Anyway, I enjoyed this book immensely. The chapters were brief and interesting. After finishing the book, I was able to go back to the end of each chapter for the basic building blocks necessary to start the best year of my life. The steps aren't overwhelming or complicated, but they make good sense.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2017This book had a few good ideas but was too basic to be very helpful
- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2013Very positive book!! This book was recommended to me by my physician. I am typically a "high strung" person that burns a lot of mental energy on the negative!! This book has given me the insight and direction on modifying that energy from "negative" to " positive" It has allowed me to tweak my life strategy to incorporate more of a positive outlook on life. The old adage is "life is what you make it". Positive energy, will, effort, and positive thoughts can go a long way!!! This book served as a catalyst for jump starting all of these attributes!! Great ready!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2012I came across Debbie Ford just this year, and LOVE LOVE LOVE her books. They are an easy read, and truly resonate with every reader I have given one to, and I use the advice for not only my own life, but have helped many others ground themselves with a few questions. This book lead me on to buy many of her other books which seem to hold their own with this one. You will thoroughly enjoy it. I bought the multiple copies and plan on many more as gifts to my friends and clients.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2011Great motivational read. Having the best year of your life is all about your attitute and not letting self-defeating thoughts overwhelm you from working on and reaching your goals.

Frauke Hamann - Coaching - BeratungReviewed in Germany on January 2, 2012
5.0 out of 5 stars Eine leicht verständliche Anleitung
'"The Best Year of Your Life"' von Debbie Ford ist kein Buch was es kurz durchzulesen gilt, um es dann wieder weg zu legen. Es ist ein Buch das nach Action verlangt, die Dinge auch umzusetzen im Leben. Die Kapitel sind sehr kurz und einfach geschrieben. Besonders gut hat mir gefallen "'Exposing your Fantasy"', wobei es darum geht sich klar zu werden, wo wir in unserer Phantasie leben '"Eines Tages,wenn...dann werde ich..." statt zu schauen, wo wir dieses Gefühl und Erfahrung welche wir uns wünschen, jetzt gleich in unserem heutigen Alltag umsetzen können.
Ein leichtes Arbeitsbuch, um uns zu unterstützen unser bestes Leben zu leben. Jetzt, in diesem Jahr und nicht irgendwann.'..

5.0 out of 5 stars I looked her up online and was so sad to see she had passed away
I remember coming across Debbie for the first time in a movie I watched online, and she took my breath away, what she said really resonated with me. After it had finished, I looked her up online and was so sad to see she had passed away. Such a loss for those interested in self help/self improvement. I just love her work, her honesty and frankness.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent and inspiring book
I must admit, I was a little surprised by how positive this book is, after having read Debbie Ford's "good in the dark" books. But this book has a wonderful message. It isn't at all came positivity, but a real inspirational message. Thank you, Debbie. Rest in peace.
