I am currently reading it and am really enjoying the book so far.

I love the cover!! He seems genuinely happy and enjoying life at the time this photo was taken. I also love the colors that are chosen.

I have read many of the versions of the “Chicken Soup for the….” books in the past and have gained a ton of help from them. It’s nice to read about the man behind them.

Yes I would recommend this book to all my friends and anyone who loves to read this type of book.

Latest Review: Adrift by Charlie Sheldon

Post by Faith Stacy Leon »

I love the content of this book because it inspired me. For one to succeed, he or she must be determined, focused, patient, and resilient. If not, little setbacks would deter the person from pursuing his or her dreams. The non-fiction genre was incorporated into it. I recommend it to readers of self-help books. The writer's style of writing was beautiful.

I adore the information in this book because it inspired me. One needs to be persistent, focused, resilient, and determined to keep pushing to avoid minor setbacks discouraging the person from following their objectives. There were elements of non-fiction in it. I advise self-help book readers to read it. Beautiful writing was done by the author.

I adore the knowledge in this book since it inspired me. In order to succeed, one must be persistent, focused, resilient, and determined. Otherwise, even slight setbacks will deter a person from pursuing their goals. It contained aspects of non-fiction. I suggest it to people who read self-help books. The author produced some really lovely writing.

I admire the wisdom in this book since it gave me inspiration. One needs to be persistent, focused, resilient, and determined in order to succeed. Otherwise, even minor setbacks will discourage a person from working toward their objectives. It had elements of non-fiction in it.

Honestly motivational guides are not my thing but I loved the fact that the proceeds from the sale of this book shall be used for a noble cause and I admire that. That's what made me more interested in reading the book.

I read this book last year, and the amount of nuggets in it still baffle me. I enjoyed the writing style; it seemed quite conversational. Don't think there was a least favorite about this book. I'd award it a perfect rating.

Years ago, when reading Chicken Soup for the Soul, I was fascinated by the meaningful stories. Now, reading about Mr Hansen's life, his determination and his setbacks, I felt that his character is a life lesson. One has to be strong-willed and pursue one's goals. Like a fashionable motivational book, but far from being just that, Mitzi Perdue's style makes this book stand out.

Having read many of the Chicken Soup for the Soul books, I decided to give this one a try. I'm still reading and thoroughly enjoying it so far. I love feel-good books that remind me to persevere and keep myself focused on my goals in order to succeed. I really like the cover art of the book too.

I am currently reading this book and I'm almost finished. Mark Victor Hansen is certainly an inspiration to everyone to be optimistic, relentless in the face of adversity and to be giving to others. I don't know many people who can live up to him. The book has certainly given me a chance to reflect on my life and how I can make a change to do things better. I love Mitzi Perdue's style of writing. It flows easily into the next chapter and makes you anxious to know what comes next.

I read and reviewed this book and I rate it 4 out 4 stars because it is highly relevant and has useful ideas that we can implement into our lives. I especially liked the fact that the author wrote both the good and the bad sides of Mark Victor Hansen's life which added authenticity and a well rounded viewpoint. In the end, we can definitely learn from Hansen's life and his examples which prove to be quite valuable.

As regards my opinion of it, I think Perdue did an amazing job by writing about this exceptional figure, Mark Victor Hansen. This helps people to know about the policies, belief system, and the like, that Mark initiated and pursued to achieve fame to his name. Based on this, I rate it five out of five stars.
