With a solid logical flow and awe-inspiring insight, 2024...Your Year of More: Plan Your Goals and Invest Your Efforts by Noah William Smith tells the secret of what motivates some people to experience life of a higher quality than others.

"The best moments in our lives happen when we strive to create them." These words by Smith set the course for a fulfilling journey of enlightenment, that will see readers go into the new year, 2024, motivated and ready for a season of fresh perspectives and attainment of dreams.

Borrowing from the recent COVID-19 pandemic where many people adapted their lifestyles to survive the new reality, the author begins by imploring his readers to adopt positive thoughts and desires, in anticipation for the best kind of life in the coming year. This, he believes should strictly be on ideas that make one excited and pleased. In an excerpt from page 8, he asserts that "COVID-19 showed us to adapt swiftly to be a part of tomorrow. We learned to listen, adjust our behaviors, and align our survival efforts." When people adjusted their daily practices, he noticed that there was a reward, a payoff for their actions. In the same way, he believes that those who will adapt their innermost desires and thoughts for a better 2024 are bound to achieve many more yields and rewards.

As a reader delves deeper into subsequent chapters, they will realize that Smith wants to leave them thinking more creatively, energized to do the things they want to do, and more immune from unhelpful thoughts. Although he speaks in the first-person narrative, his words are deeply reflective and inspiring. For example, on page 40, he says, "When I occupy my mind with helpful thoughts, I create soothing experiences." On the same page, he again says, "I want to reinvent my professional skills. To do that, I should expand my knowledge to include the latest developments. I also predict what will be trendy in five years." These are words that visionary and enthusiastic readers' minds will relate to, as they reflect on their futuristic endeavors and goals.

While writing this first book of Part 2 of his A to Z series, 2024...Your Year of More, Smith recollects how a couple of times he found himself wondering why the idea of wanting more got stuck in his mind. He had interestingly thought he was content and therefore didn't need more, but to his amazement, a rude inward awakening was transpiring. The uniqueness of his discovery was that now, he wanted more of the things he highly esteemed such as maturity, wisdom, life satisfaction, and feeling alive. On page 98 he says, "Much of life’s enjoyment and contentment comes from striving toward more of what we value." This, and numerous other assertions, will evoke crucial considerations of every reader's priorities, and how they may affect the attainment of a comfortable and continuously lively life in the future.

Quill says: Author Smith's personal experiences excellently confirm that the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty and validity of their imagination. It is a must-read for everyone who wants to understand how success is a result of small efforts that have been repeated often.
