Customer Reviews

Really Insightful!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The author does a great job of relating to us readers. The subtitle is accurate: Miller points out the benefits of choosing to be real with yourself, and with the select few that you choose to put in your circle. And he wisely describes the reasons we may not want to be real, but convinces us that it's worth it. Warning, he does talk about his relationship with his girlfriend/wife throughout the entire book, and at times I wished there were other relationship examples that he could use. But he clearly learned a lot from her, which is powerful in itself.

Simple, heartfelt, and meaningful

Simply outstanding! A simple and straightforward look at what it means to build authentic relationships. A book worth owning and re-reading! Don’t forget to check out Donald Miller’s other Works or his podcast!
