- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a self-help book, but also a book to help you make positive changes in your personal life, work life, and to make a difference in the world. The authors give a series of examples, citing people who have come up against obstacles and have found a way to move beyond them. They name famous people as well as ordinary people who have taken command of their lives. At the end of each chapter, they provide steps for you to take to put this advice into practice. Things like setting a routine, establishing trust, examining your choices. I found some of this advice to be thought-provoking, and has me thinking of ways to put it into practice.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It seems like there are so many self-help books on the market today, and it can be hard to pick out the true gems from the heaping pile of results that bombard you when you search for them. This book is absolutely one of those gems. It contains solid advice that I’m sure many people other than me can relate to, and addresses them in a way that’s easy to read and digest. There are some great suggestions for dealing with stress and connecting with other people that are easy to implement. The anecdotes that were inserted with each technique were interesting, and helped to show how each suggestion could be applied in real world situations. Highly recommend for anyone looking to boost their confidence and improve their success and relationships.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I received a copy of this book for free for promotional purposes.This was a very insightful read! What I liked the most about this book was how accessible it is. It’s written in a very clear and concise way which makes it easy to follow and absorb. The advice in the book is very practical and doable. Nothing feels out of reach or too hard to do. The anecdotes and stories from real life people also make the advice more relatable. The organization of the book is also on point. Organization is so critical in nonfiction books because it is easy to get lost in them if not done well. This book is broken up into 3 parts, with multiple chapters in each part outlining a more focused subtopic. At the end of each chapter are 1-2 pages summarizing the the main points and action steps, making it easy to reference a particular topic without having to reread the whole chapter. The book ends with a short concluding chapter which I really appreciated. One of my biggest pet peeves with nonfiction books is when they end with no wrap up. Concluding chapters always make the book feel more complete. Overall, I recommend this book if you are looking to venture into a self-help book! It’s a quick and easy read and will definitely encourage you to take command of your life.
