Review of The Harder I Fall, The Higher I Bounce
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Harder I Fall, The Higher I Bounce" by Max James.]
Have you ever felt demotivated and discouraged to the point that you wanted to give up? Most of us have felt that way, and it's not uncommon. What's unusual is the will to get up again and work towards a better you, even if you fall again one more time or a hundred. The Harder I Fall, The Higher I Bounce by Max James is the story of a hard-willed man who never stopped picking himself up from the fall. This inspiring story is of a man who started his career at the Air Force Academy, went through multiple unsuccessful ventures, went almost to the verge of bankruptcy, and bounced back to become a millionaire. Find out more about his story in this book and learn valuable lessons you can cherish for life.
The first thing that I liked about the book is the sequencing and structuring of the author's life story. Starting from his childhood in a barn, going through the ordeals of the Air Force Academy, memories of his mother, his bond with his father, and the lessons he learned from him that helped shape him as a human, trying his hand at different types of industries, and finally finding his niche that made him a millionaire.
It is a beautifully written autobiography with plenty of life lessons for new and veteran entrepreneurs. One thing I particularly noticed and admired was his views on developing character and principles. They spoke so loudly that they could impact anyone who wanted to see a positive change in our world. These are two of the most valuable qualities lacking in today's society. He emphasized developing these qualities and working towards bringing out better individuals who become an asset to society and a beacon for world change.
The only aspect I disliked was the use of profanity. Of all the good things the book has, this one thing bothered me. Authors need to understand that to convey their message, they don't need cuss words. Instead, they can use strong verbs, nouns, and adjectives to say them with impact. The English language has plenty of such words.
Considering all the above points, I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. I deducted one star for the mentioned reason. I could only find a single typo in the book, making it a professionally edited piece. It is an engaging read for all those who want to get up again and make a mark for themselves. I recommend it to adults from all walks of life.
