In Against the Grain, Bill Courtney shares his convictions on the fundamental tenets of character, commitment, service, leadership, civility, and others that, in his decades of success as an entrepreneur and educator, have proven to be the keys to a winning and meaningful life and career. Each chapter tells the story of one of these tenets through compelling anecdotes of the colorful characters in Bill’s life, leading to a deeper understanding of the meaning of each and how to employee these fundamentals in all aspects of one’s life.

Against the Grain intertwines inspiring and thought-provoking anecdotes, lessons, and amazing real-life examples. Bill’s passion for us all to reconsider our own approach to life and constantly improve upon it comes across in every minute.

I have never heard of this man until I was listening to the dads edge podcast where he was a guest speaker. The podcast was awesome and then I dove into his work. His book I listened to in a day or so. And I watched the movie. What a great book and movie about character and integrity. I am a dad if 3 and needed this book more than ever to stop working as much as I do to be with my own kids. Thanks for writing this bill.

It's a good book, not a great book. Very preachy. I recommend to anyone looking for a good coaching session in life. Nothing new or amazing just having grit and getting through things.
