If you have ever wondered whether all your dreams can come true, read ODYSSEY of HIGH HOPES: An Immigrant's Tale Of Sacrifice, Courage, and Love by Cyrus A. Ansary.This book is the ultimate proof that what can be perceived by the mind can be achieved. An account of the fearless journey of a man who came from being unwanted and unloved, with no family or community status, to greatness, prosperity, and brush shoulders with loyalty. I could never have conceived that it was possible to have such achievements in one lifetime until I saw the proof within the book that it was not all fantasy.

This book has taught me the path to renounce self-doubt. And human beings can create the life they desire, regardless of age. Also, the circumstances that surround our existence should not hinder us from creating the life we hope to build for ourselves. Instead, obstacles should be used to catapult us to our desired life. That hard work, determination, and persistence in the face of hardship and distress will go a long way toward achieving success. And it is never too late to switch to a more fulfilling career path. I also loved the collection of the author’s photos showcasing some of his business engagements. They made the story more believable.

The book seems like a summarized account of the author’s entrepreneurial journey. I wish that more conversation was integrated into the book. This way, the reader would develop more intimate relationships with its characters.

I did not find spelling mistakes in the book. I rate this book five out of five stars because it has helped me believe in my dreams and continue working on them.
I recommend this book to every young person and to those who believe in dreams, no matter how wild they seem.
