I loved this book right from the first few pages! I found it so helpful with the simple but to the point ideas Dan suggests to keep us focused on what's important. He has great ways of implementing into our lives ways to be intentional about our days, weeks and months so we can accomplish the things we have always wanted to but haven't been able to because of life's constant distractions and interruptions. He encourages us to focus on all aspects of our lives like our past, our present and future and our beliefs. SO much wisdom in these pages and so much to absorb you'll want to take notes or read more then once or get the audio version or kindle version too!!

I am the older sister Dan has mentioned in his book… I have lived his life with him through his tumultuous teenage years until I married. He has deep insight into what can happen if we don’t apply the principles he has laid out in his book… I like the way he uses common people, places and things to emphasize his points and does it in such a way that is familiar, funny and to the point. His book is easy to read and has a style that flows in such a way you want to keep reading. Pick up your copy! You won’t regret it and can get something new from it each time you read it… proud sister!!

Very interesting read, right from the beginning Dan brings you to story, and that is what our lives are about. Dan brings you in to think about areas of your life story that you just wouldn’t think about without some prompting, and shows you how to have a better impact on those around you at all times and how to finish your own story. Dan brings you into his story as you navigate through this book. Very good read.

So often you read a book that gives you no real insight as to why the author wrote it! Not with this book It’s obvious from the start that Dan Barber cares about people and has provided practical tips and help to challenge where we’re at and how to get where we want to be It made me think more seriously about what I want my legacy to be ! Great read!

Vantage Point is a must read. Dan's personal stories and explanations are clear and practical. It feels like he is having a conversation with you. There is so much practical information I have started to read it a second time. It is probably a book I will re-read occasionally over the years.

In Vantage Point, Dan really draws you in. He shows wonderful vulnerability in sharing his story in looking back. He presents the reader with some clear steps of confession, apology and forgiveness to work through. He challenges the reader to look for opportunities and how to react to adversity. Ultimately he begs the question are we living lives worth talking about? He weaves a beautiful tapestry of our lives for us and is it is a must read!

FAQ

1. What Inspired You to Write This Book?

A. Originally, the Bourne movies in the early 2000’s inspired the ideas of the book, but what motivated me to write the book was my desire to create something that would help my typical coaching client who is asking questions about how to reach their potential, or make significant shifts in their lives so they can live with more meaning and purpose.

2. What will your readers gain from your book?

A. My readers will be challenged to think about their lives and consider the gap between where they currently are and where they want to be. They will be introduced to 5 perspectives that when taken together will give them clarity about who they are and where they want to go in their lives, providing actionable steps to take to help them realize their new goals.

3. What was your unique quotient for this project?

A. I write like I talk but because I can’t sit and have a conversation with everyone over a coffee, Vantage Point encapsulates much of what I would want to share with anyone asking life’s big questions, such as Who am I or Why am I here? Sometimes people need a third party, a fresh set of eyes and ears then provide solid inspiration and direction to help them achieve all they hope for. I hope to provide that in Vantage Point. 

4. How did becoming an author help in your brand/business?

A. Becoming an author has given me an additional resource to support my clients through the coaching process. It has helped to expand the ways I can connect with my clients. Becoming an author also gives me more authority in my field which leads to more opportunities to share my message. 

5. What are your future plans as an author?

A. My goals include adding an audio book and writing an additional reading resource for my book, maybe a workbook or daily reader or devotional. I anticipate taking more speaking engagements and simply having more conversations about what it means to live a better story. I hope to grow my coaching business as I create products and services tailored around Vantage Point and the specific needs of my clients.
