No Opportunity Wasted (NOW)
Creating a List for Life

By Phil Keoghan, Warren Berger

“'No Opportunity Wasted’ is about learning how to live while you still have the chance. . . swerving off that predictable road … onto a strange and bumpy path that just might, with a bit of luck, get you lost. It is about taking the time to enjoy experiences you’ve denied…. But it also about sharing experiences with other people you know. And connecting with people you don’t…. Beginning with yourself.” -- Phil Keoghan

   Writing the book No Opportunity Wasted (NOW) is actually on Phil Keoghan's Current Life List, along with climbing Mount Cook with his dad, traveling into outer space, free-diving with 3,000 singing humpback whales off the coast of the Dominican Republic and more…

   Keoghan is outgoing and positive in nature. When faced with death at age nineteen in the deep reaches of an old ship, the New Zealand native discovered there was so much more he wanted to do. He wrote his first Life List after he was rescued. He’s been checking off accomplishments and adding goals ever since. With N.O.W. Keoghan’s goal is to inspire the rest of us to make Life Lists. He wants us to rediscover our childhood, to dust off the shelved promises we made to ourselves in youth and LIVE. Keoghan’s experiences blend in easily with his stimulating advice. Readers will find his thoughts clear and to the point. Even more, they will feel inspired.

    Keoghan leads readers through “The Eight Great Themes:” Getting Rid of Excuses, Face Your Fear, Get Lost, Test Your Limits, Take a Leap of Faith, Rediscover Your Childhood, Shed Your Inhibitions/ Express Yourself, Break New Ground, Aim for the Heart, The Dreamers All Around Us, Live Life N.O.W.!.

    Once you finish this book, you too will hear Keoghan’s infamous line echoing in your mind - ARE YOU READY TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE?!

     Phil Keoghan is hosting N.O.W. on the Discovery Channel and The Amazing Race on CBS. Warren Berger interviewed Keoghan for The New York Times. Through many meetings at the original diner of the first interview, they collaborated on how to share Keoghan’s “life-affirming experiences and philosophy into a book that could inspire others.”
