I always enjoy reading John Maxwell books, but this one in particular may very well be my favorite. John has a way of explaining things in a practical way that make sense to anyone who reads it. He always gives excellent examples from his personal experience in order to stress how important each concept he is going through per chapter. I really enjoyed this book.

I liked how Mr. Stoval and Dr. Schneider made the book easy flowing and not overly complex. They used personal examples and also made the subject quite entertaining. I highly recommend this book if you're wondering if entrepreneurship is for you and what to expect.

You are an aspiring leader. But the fact is that you've come to this role at a time when leadership - like everything else - is rapidly changing...and too many leaders are addressing the problems of today and tomorrow with the style and substance of yesterday's leadership. We need an update. In The Aspiring Leader's Guide to the Future, Clay Scroggins (author of How to Lead When You're Not in Charge) explores nine new principles of leadership that will help leaders adapt to a changing world and work culture.

Reality Check
Reviewed: 07-14-22
This book really gave me a reality check on what being a leader of the future will look like. These are who will not be perfect, but transparent. Not always in the know, but humble. Not threatened by others success, but embraces them. And, as I continue striving to be this leader of the future, this book has reminded me that as a leader, if I want change, I have to start with me and let circumstances be an excuse for why I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I just have to take the first step and go from there.

Help! I Work with People is not a book about leadership theory, but rather a handbook on how to connect with people and influence them for good. With his signature transparent and relatable storytelling, Chad Veach uses modern research and biblical principles to encourage you to lean into your leadership potential regardless of your level of influence or experience. In short and easily digestible chapters, he addresses the three phases of becoming a quality leader: learning to lead the hardest person you will ever be in charge of-yourself and more.

People Focused
Reviewed: 05-29-22
l like that this book is people-focused. Yes, it is a book about leadership, but this book points out a very important thing. You can't be a leader if no one is following you. If you want people to follow you, as a leader you have to be regularly implementing and striving to be better in each of the areas the author talks about. I think this book could be very complimentary to Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Encouraging
Reviewed: 05-17-22
I appreciate how Tom Ziglar explains each of the principles for Choosing to Win by telling a personal testimony as to how he and his dad Zig Ziglar incorporated these principles into their lives. It is very encouraging knowing that despite where you start, you can always make a choice to win in life and know what purpose you have to serve the world. Thank you

Willy Wonka's famous chocolate factory is opening at last! But only five lucky children will be allowed inside. And the winners are: Augustus Gloop, an enormously fat boy whose hobby is eating; Veruca Salt, a spoiled-rotten brat whose parents are wrapped around her little finger; Violet Beauregarde, a dim-witted gum-chewer with the fastest jaws around; Mike Teavee, a toy pistol-toting gangster-in-training who is obsessed with television; and Charlie Bucket, our hero, a boy who is honest and kind, brave and true, and good and ready for the wildest time of his life!

Absolutely amazing!
Reviewed: 05-15-22
I have seen both versions of the movie and they don't compare to the actual book. The second rendition is closer to what happened in the book than the first, but there's so much more in the book than what can be portrayed in film. It has adventure, laughter, and good life lessons to be learned. It is absolutely a wonderful story, and I'm glad I finally read it!

By the time Chloé Hilliard was 12, she wore a size 12 - both shoe and dress - and stood over six feet tall. Fitting in was never an option. That didn’t stop her from trying. Cursed with a “slow metabolism”, “baby weight”, and “big bones” - the fat trilogy - Chloe turned to fad diets, starvation, pills, and workouts, all of which failed. Realizing that everything - from government policies to corporate capitalism - directly impacts our relationship with food and our waistlines, Chloé changed her outlook on herself and hopes others will do the same for themselves.

Reviewed: 04-22-22
I really appreciate the author being open and honest about her struggles with obesity and food, and how those struggles affected her relationships with friends, family, and the opposite sex. I may not agree with everything she recommended in her book, but there are some things I plan to incorporate in my life like getting a full-length mirror to look and appreciate the whole me. Thank you for your candor, charisma, and enthusiasm!
