Oh, "What a book!" I state in advance as it certainly seems like a "fascinating journey with Baumann!" And decent review without various spoilers. But #mayberead. Best wishes to the author on the #BOTD 🌞

I am not a fan of self-help books but based on the review, the book does seem to have some merit. I'm sure the book is inspirational to others suffering from Parkinson's. The author's own personal experiences add an authenticity to the message.

Am a fan of motivational books and if the review you gave about this book 'Decide success ' is what it is then am sure grabbing a copy. Thanks so much for the detailed review.

I usually don’t like “think positive” self-help style books but this one has me intrigued. I am disabled by a chronic illness so I know how hard it is to keep going sometimes. Thanks for your review.

I enjoy self-help books. I appreciate that the author has his own struggles in life yet is still trying to help others. I think reading this book will teach me a lot about living a more positive life. Great review! Definitely adding this one to my reading list.
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

I really don't care much for self-help books. I read the sample pages as well as this review, and I realized that the author is an exceptionally good writer. The fact that the author includes some of his own experiences does make the book sound more interesting. I might read this book if I get the time.

In all honesty, I am not a huge fan of self-help books. It often seems like the authors do not care about helping the reader, only the profit they make from the reader. This book is different. The personal battles the author has overcome is inspiring. You did an excellent job summarizing the book and reviewing it!

The advice herein would come in handy. There are lots to pick up in this great book. I might as well fill my bag to the brim. I wonder why I came across this only now. It has opened my eyes wider and made them focus sharper. Thank you for your most informative review.

I like your review and I am glad that you enjoyed the book so much. Self-help books tend to be repetitive in their messages and many times it seems like they are all the same. I am happy to know that this one is different in the author's use of his words and the struggles he has gone through.

Thank you for your review. I am intrigued by this book and will definitely be reading it. Positivity is what got me through rough patches in late 2017 and into early 2018. I can't wait to learn more.

The world is full of negativity. I believe this book is the antidote to that: helps you to be positive in life.

I either love or hate self-help, positive improvement books. This one sounds like a winner.

It's always wonderful when someone can turn something difficult or tragic around to find the positive aspects of it. There are always lessons we can learn from our hardest moments. It's great that this author could take his difficult moments and write this book to help others.
