I enjoyed reading your review. I read this book last year and thought it was inspiring. Like you, I really liked the conversational writing style.

A good, clear review. The self-help field is a cluttered one, goodness knows, so a recommendation like this can save a lot of time.

This looks like an interesting take on a topic we could all use some practice in; most of us will likely relate to not capitalising on their dreams. Hopefully the rest of this book lives up to the hype!!

Thank you for the clear, concise and honest review. It gave me a good overview of what to expect when reading this book. I am especially excited about, how you describe, the book does not cause the reader to feel defensive but rather think creatively about how to affect change in their lives. I'm looking forward to reading the experiences and 'bossy' tips that the author has for following my dreams!

I have had Scott's book on my Kindle for a while now, but have not had a chance to read it yet. Your review has convinced me I need to read it. NOW! It sounds amazingly inspiring and to the point, which is what I need right now. Thanks for your fantastic review!

This is a really great review! I like how honest you are about the content. I also don't think this is a book I would typically choose to read, but it does appear to have a lot of merit.

THis looks so good; I hadn't realised that Scott was an anti-bullying campaigner. I love him even more now!

Latest Review: "Break up with Defeat" by Jermaine Francis

Post by Chrys Brobbey »

I read the introductory part of the book where Adam B. worked very hard to be in the school football team, but got axed by the coach. This could have served as a deterrent to his aspirations, but this books shows that we should not give up so easily. Perseverance is the key to achieving our dreams. I like how the books inspires for us to dream big, and go for it. The review is a helpful motivation to reach for the book.

This liberating book is a must read. It helps us realize what is the missing ingredient in achieving our dreams. Two thumbs up to this.

Great job on the review! Although this isn't exactly the type of book I would pick up, it's nice to see that it's straight-forward and the author doesn't beat around the bush.

Thanks for your review! I'm not big into self help books, but it sounds like Scott has some good information to help you achieve your goals. I like that he understands that people are afraid to achieve their goals. That would be moi.
