Review by iknwuzoh -- The Mindset by Ace Bowers
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Mindset" by Ace Bowers.]
The Mindset by Ace Bowers is a book in which the author talks about his life, moving from a Janitor to a millionaire in Silicon Valley within 5 years. The author begins with his childhood with his dad and mom. His dad and mom were alcoholics and he had a difficult childhood. His parents could hardly pay school fees. This made him resolve to become a better dad, since his parents abused alcohol. He developed a mindset, not to allow his children go through what he went through. He married Yuka, a Japanese and worked in companies like TiVo, Yahoo and Google and he became a millionaire.
What I liked most about the book was the inspirational tone of the author in writing this book. He wrote in such an inspiring way. What I disliked most about the book was the excessive use of flashbacks in the book, even though the author maintained the inspirational tone of the book.
The author had difficult times, but he did not allow that to overwhelm him. His difficult childhood made him make inspiring resolutions within himself, instead of giving in to hard times. He seems to use the hard times to mold himself to a better person. The author teaches that we should not give in to depression when things are difficult. The author was living on a minimum wage initially, but he did not let himself become comfortable with it. He developed a mindset that let him pursue goals, to break out of the lifestyle he had in childhood and offer something better to his children. This book is full of motivation. He quit smoking when his wife became pregnant and this smoking he learnt from his parents. He has a caring elder brother and 2 close friends, Anthony and Abe.
This book is meant for people who read books to gain motivation. Books like this can inspire people to do things they thought they couldn't do. He met his wife, Yuka, when he had little money, and his mindset and inspiration developed when he became a dad. Then, he's got to live outside his parents. If you don't want to read books where the author is the narrator, this book is not meant for you. Anthony, his friend became a drug addict and died from drug addiction. Abe, the other of his friend joined the military.
The author had good inter-personal relationship with these 2 persons. He showed that a friend in need is a friend indeed. The author overcame his eating habits, and was able to lose 85 pounds in 4 months, showing that we live in a world of possibilities. I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because the book is professionally edited. There are very few typos and grammatical errors. In conclusion, this book belongs to the inspirational genre.
