- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is beyond amazing. The descriptive words made me feel like I was right there with you throughout each experience.
Love the inclusion of Bahamianism throughout this book.
I hope to grab and apply the 2%law in my life, thanks for being an inspiration.
???? - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Honest, humbling and inspiring with a great personal call to action
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Such a good book. Really encouraging as I begin my own studies for my dream of becoming a doctor. Hoping to meet Dr. Rolle one day and contribute to the Caribbean Neurosurgery Foundation.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Started out great. I was really interested but then Dr. Rolle kind of started getting into some filler. I don't agree with his conspiracy theories that the only reason he didn't hack it in the NFL was because "he was too smart....." I also don't agree that Kaepernick is a "hero". Overall a semi interesting book but he definitely lost me in some parts. Also if you are looking for some magic plan to Excell like he has, there isn't really one. It's basically just improve yourself 2% each and every day.
