- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was very good self help book, i find it unique in his writing. Mr. William has convey topic in his unique style.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Similar in theme to Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People," William H. Danforth's 1931 book "I Dare You!" literally dares the reader to live life to its fullest.Danforth, the founder and former chairman of the board of the Ralston Purina Company, advocates a four-fold development system whereas a person should- 1) keep your body healthy and strong, 2) train your mind to learn, become more wise, 3) smile, make friends, and care for others, and 4) deepen your spiritual life- in other words: Think Tall, Stand Tall, Smile Tall, Live Tall. If you can apply these four measures equally, your life will resemble a perfect cube without one side weakening, or overwhelming, the other facets.The book is an easy read that never talks down to the reader. I noticed a lot of Gary Vaynerchuk and Tom Bilyeu here- where excuses don't matter. Danforth consistently DARES everyone to act. He doesn't belittle, doesn't insult, and sincerely wants to know why you aren't in the Top 5%, or the Kingly 1%, of society. Through examples, he strips away your complaints and excuses. Just like GaryVee questioning "...AND?..." after hearing complaints of no money or time to follow your richest life, Danforth answers with "I dare you," which works just as well. The book pressures, in a good way, a person to follow through on a plan because they were dared to, and when their own desires can't overcome fear of change.Sometimes the book is a little dated, but it is still inspiring. If you can't find a copy, go ahead and take the titular phrase to heart in your own life: I Dare You! Dare to be more, and dare to be happy. Accomplish something today!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I actually won the "I Dare You" award in High School...Stupid me didn't even read the stuff that came with it...seems I was eligible for a scholarship.I also didn't read the book until the early 90's. When I finally did read it, I loved it. It's one of the few books I'll go looking for and read again.
