Review by Shalika_G_17 -- The Mindset by Ace Bowers
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Mindset" by Ace Bowers.]
The Mindset by Ace Bowers is a heartening and uplifting read. In less than a hundred pages, Ace manages to narrate his story quite effectively. Although the book is less than a hundred pages long, Ace's story is not an easy read.
In the first chapter, Ace writes about some incidents in his childhood that had a lasting impact on him. Then, he goes on to write about how growing up in a toxic environment affected his intellectual and emotional development during adolescence and adulthood. The rest of the book is about how Ace learned to let go of the emotional baggage that was weighing him down and found success.
Ace mentions more than once that this book is a way for him to write his heart out. I loved how the author has refrained from belittling the emotional trauma in his past. Ace makes it a point to show his readers how a change in one’s mindset can bring about great changes in one's life. An extremely objective or an extremely emotional narrative could have distracted the reader from the message the author is trying to convey. However, by striking the right balance between objectivity and emotions, Ace manages to connect with his readers the right way and convey the message.
Ace's writing style is crisp and concise. The story is replete with detailed memories, the right amount of emotions and some great advice. But, it is never too overbearing. Encompassing a lifetime of experiences in a hundred pages is no mean feat. However, the author manages to pull it off with ease.
Initially, I was a little irked by the author's description of his parents’ behavior. It was quite evident that they were grappling with their own emotional issues. However, the change in the author’s perception of his parents at the end of the book bears testimony to the fact that he has finally managed to heal from the trauma. Ultimately, the book ended on a very warm note.
I could not spot any errors in the book. Moreover, the book is crisp, concise and still very relatable. This shows that the book has been professionally edited. Therefore, I give the book 4 out of 4 stars.
The Mindset is a book for everybody. Ace empathizes with those who have been traumatized. He writes in a way that is easy for people who have not been exposed to such traumatic events to also connect and understand. This book is truly an all-rounder. Therefore, it is suitable for all audiences. The book is sure to leave readers with empathy and respect for themselves and for their fellow humans.
