From Negative to Positive: How I Took All the Wrong in My Life and Made It Right--And You Can Too

By Armando Pérez

Book Overview

A motivational guide for harnessing the power of self-confidence and positivity from world-renowned rapper Pitbull, aka Mr. Worldwide.

Learn from the worst, listen to the best.

Pitbull is one of the most exciting and celebrated performers in the world. But few people know the real story of Armando Perez, the son of Cuban immigrants who survived a childhood marked by a rough street life, a dysfunctional family, abandonment, foster care, drug dealing, and addiction, to become the global sensation that he is today.

Armando adopted the performance name "Pitbull" because though in his native Miami it was illegal to own the dog, the rock star found inspiration in the idea that a pitbull latches on and never lets go, a survival technique that has been pivotal in Pitbull's own rise to fame, and that is at the core of this new motivational guide for success.

With bite-size lessons like:
-If You Don't Know Where You're Coming From, You Won't Know Where You're Going;
-If You're On a Bad Road, You're Going to End Up in a Bad Place;
-Ask For Money, Get Advice. Ask For Advice, Get Money Twice;
-If It's Meant For You, No One Can Take it Away From You;
and much more.

Pitbull draws from his own experience and encourages readers to adopt his tried-and-true strategies for attaining happiness, prosperity, and personal and professional fulfillment, all bolstered by the underlying message that you can accomplish anything you want in life if you're willing to move from a negative mindset to a positive one.
