Live Your Legacy Now by Barbara Greenspan Shaiman is a book about the author’s life about how she survived the holocaust and realized she wants to strive to make meaning in her life and inspire others to do the same. Not only that, but she wants to guide people in improving their own life as well as the life of others.
Speaking in first person, Shaiman is able to write the book as the speaker and explain to the readers her point of view to inspire the readers on a more personal level. Her goal is to provide the readers with tools and strategies to help them create significant and meaningful change in other people’s lives and their own. In her memoir, she is able to become vulnerable in her approach to making her audience feel motivated to create meaning to life.
She structures her ten step system within sections. She splits it up this way to make the topic sentences bold so the readers can either skip steps to find one’s they need to look over again or draw attention to the main ideas of each step. The process analysis mode is used to help direct her audience so they have a step by step understanding to her process and how she plans to help people achieve her mission. Some steps listed include: “Identify your core values, interests, and skills, Reflect on how you can use these assets to create meaningful projects that make a difference locally or globally, Share these experiences with family, colleagues, and friends to create cultures of caring at home, at work, and in your community.” Her step by step system is written in this way to guide the reader in a quick and easy fashion so make her process simplistic and not hard to follow.
