There's a ton of growth and development books today, and I've read my fair share of them. This one felt different. It's incredibly readable. I don't know that I've used "readable" to describe a book before, and at first glance, that may sound mediocre. It's not. On one hand, the book offers insights and questions that led me to pause and think...which is something I look for in any form of training/learning. On the other hand, the author's ability to wrap the insights he shared into stories from his life made it remarkably relatable and enjoyable to read.
I thought the book was framed well. It's great to be inspired by insights and entertained by stories, but he also provided the opportunity to go deeper in my reflection through the use of reflective questions. I'm a HUGE fan of questions. I think it was Tony Robbins who said, "If you ask great questions, it forces you to come up with great answers", (or something to that tune). I took a number of the questions in the book and spent time thinking on how they were showing up for me currently and how I'd like for them to show up for me going forward.
It's one thing to read a book. But the experience jumps a level when I feel I can work toward applying what I'm learning. This author nailed this for me. Great book!

In my opinion, best book of 2020!
This has been one of the most inspirational and impactful books I’ve read! Especially with the year we have had, this one really hit home. I picked this book up during quarantine in April/May and couldn’t put it down. Rob shares his personal experiences and insights, which really connect with the reader. His reflection questions pull each chapter together. I find myself referencing back to them, along with my own notes, pretty regularly. Reading Robs stories and following along his life experiences/lesson has a commonality to it and makes you feel that extraordinary results can be attained by the ordinary person by expressing good values, a positive mindset and seasons of hard work. This is a book I will reread multiple times, reference often and gift to friends!

I have read over 500+ books, most of them self help types but this books is one of the very best that I have ever read! It is super easy to read, filled with great stories from the author which helps the reader connect to the message that we truly have a life that is better than we think or give ourselves credit for. It made me resolved in this new year to be more intentional, more focused and present to my life and to the relationships and experiences that I have and any new opportunities as they present themselves. I purchased a case of the book to hand out to my favorite business owners that supported me last year and they loved it! It is one I HIGHLY RECOMMEND and it will help change your life and build awareness to all the blessings and gifts that we already have around each and everyone one of us!
