Review by mschauwecker3] -- The Mindset by Ace Bowers
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Mindset" by Ace Bowers.]
The Mindset: My Journey From Janitor to Silicon Valley Millionaire in Five Years by Ace Bowers is an inspirational memoir written by a man who achieved a better life for himself through sheer determination. Ace grew up in a tumultuous family, living in poverty with alcoholic parents, a brother in jail, and daily physical fights within the home. He was forced to deal with his undiagnosed anxiety and depression alone while trying to hide his personal life from his friends at school. As an adult, he humbled himself to accept a job as a janitor to avoid living on the street and slowly began to work his way up in the world through dedication and hard work. His wife and children were his continuous motivation to excel at everything he did, and his success became greater than he ever imagined it could be. Without a college degree, Ace became a multi-millionaire.
Ace decided to build a better life for himself through what he called his “overcomer’s mindset.” This is a compelling way of thinking that worked for him. It is a positive aspect of this story that all readers can understand, strive toward, and take away from this book. Ace makes it sound as though it is truly possible for anyone to accomplish their dream with the “overcomer’s mindset.”
There is nothing negative to say about this book. At times, it almost felt like the concept was too good to be true, such as Ace saying he quit smoking in a single moment; however, he explained everything in detail and made it believable.
I gave The Mindset 4 out of 4 stars because I found it enjoyable to read and also very motivational. Ace told his story in a way that enables readers to empathize with his struggles and appreciate his success. Rather than focusing on events in his life as the cause of his problems, he used them as motivation to move forward and heal emotionally.
This book is written in a conversational tone; Ace is simply telling his story. It is easy to read and understand, but it carries a weight that makes it appropriate for anyone in search of motivation. The story talks about using the “overcomer’s mindset” for career, family, and lifestyle choices, but it can be inserted into any aspect of life. Readers that grew up in a troubled home or poverty can relate to Ace’s life, as well as readers that have struggled with weight issues, substance abuse, depression, or anxiety. This book would be recommended to anyone trying to heal from previous life issues or searching for inspiration. It would also be a great book to discuss in a support group or young adult guidance group.
