What a great book

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.

Preachy

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.
