For everyone who enjoys a good motivational story, I recommend The Mindset by Ace Bowers. It is an autobiographical memoir in which the author narrates the impressive and tumultuous life journey from poverty to success.

Growing under the roof of a family immersed in misery where his parents were alcoholics and his older brother a criminal, Ace Bowers, had a very difficult childhood; So difficult that he had to always hide his real story and family for the fear of facing the embarrassment when people around him would discover the truth about his family. Therefore, Ace Bowers didn't want his future to look like his past. So, he struggled and strived to succeed in life and at the end, a janitor who made 6 dollars an hour became a very successful wealthy man just because he sharpened his mindset.

This is one of the most emotional memoirs I've ever read; it almost brought tears to my eyes reading the author's very difficult life story and the fact that he managed to succeed in that environment he grew up is very impressive. This book is going to teach people to identify and value things that are really worth fighting for. Furthermore, by reading this book people understand the importance of motivation as a mean to achieve success in life. I also think that by reading this memoir, people will be able to see how far you can get when you decide to give all you got and work really hard. Another aspect I liked is the length of the book; most books are normally two-three or four hundred pages. But this one is smaller than that, but still, it's very clear and objective.

However, I found the sub-title a bit tricky. I'm sure that whoever reads the sub-title "from janitor to millionaire" will think that any janitor can become a millionaire just by being a janitor. Although it isn't impossible since it happened with the author, it isn't simply by being a janitor that turns you into a millionaire. Furthermore, this book is equally suitable for both young people and mature as well, as it starts to show decisions made by the author while young and the wisdom he achieved while mature. Therefore, I don't recommend it to people who don't like memoirs.

The book was professionally edited and I congratulate the author for the work done with the book. I hardly found any mistakes and because of that I think a 4 out of 4 stars rate is very well deserved.
