Spark by Jason Jaggard – Book Review
On a scale of 1 to 100, how satisfied are you with your life?
Are there areas where you’d like to make changes – real, sustainable changes – but aren’t sure how to begin?
Do you dream of not only changing your life, but the lives of those around you?
If so, consider adding Jason Jaggard’s book Spark – Transform Your World One Small Risk At A Time to your reading list. In this book, Jason shares how transformation begins with the choices you make and the risks you take.
According to Jason, a spark is a choice… a small risk… a decision to move from inaction to action.
Jason believes we need to overcome our fear of risk-taking to begin the process of transformation because small risks can result in huge changes, both in our personal lives and in the world. He defines small risks as immediate, controllable, challenging, and positive. To help us overcome our aversion to risk-taking, he created a company called Spark Good that invites people to start Spark Groups and support one another in taking the risk to be extraordinary.
Here are a few of the questions you’ll explore as you read this book?
- What does it look like to create a lifestyle of healthy risk-taking?
- Why do the standard ways that we learn things almost always leave us unchanged?
- How can we learn in different ways so we can more rapidly become who we were meant to be?
Most importantly, you’ll be challenged to ask yourself:
- What’s one risk I can take this week to make myself a better person or the world a better place?
As I read this book, I could not help but remember that “it only takes a spark to get a fire going…”
I found Spark highly motivating and I’m sure that you will, too!

Looks interesting!
This sounds like a great motivational read although rating how satisfied I am with life from 1 to 100 is a scary thought. Thanks for popping over to our weekly book blog hop this week xx
Sounds like like a profitable book to read and add to my library. Love that I can read a chapter before I buy it.
Thanks for stopping by Pam!
I always try to include a preview chapter or a book trailer when available to help you decide whether the book “speaks” to you! 🙂
Sounds like a good book. Reminds me of the song the kids used to sing at church camp. It only takes a spark to get a fire going. I always liked that song.
Blessings,
Charlotte
Reminded me of that too, Charlotte – and the song really does apply! 🙂
