Lessons to Learn

Swim Lessons, by Nick Irons is one of the most motivating books I've read in a long time. His fast read about his 1,550 mile swim of the Mississippi River was rejuvanating and inspirational! His easy steps to make any dream succeed are easy to use in daily life sitiuations like the work place, home life, and personal goals. Adventure, struggles, and amazing accomplishments help keep you glued to every word. His message is awarness about MS and I can't wait to help. I LOVED IT! Great job Nick!

Another accomplishment for Nick Irons (and family)

Nick Irons and his amazing family have done it again! As if swimming the Mississippi River and cycling around the perimeter of the continental U.S. was not enough, they had to write a really inspiring book. Nick makes it very clear that even though he was the one doing the swimming, it would not have happened without the help of his family and friends. Swim Lessons not just catalogs Nick's big swim down the Big Muddy in an authentic voice but it also adds practical tips on accomplishing goals. Just telling the compelling story would have been too self-serving for Nick who seems to be driven to help others. The size of the goals Nick and his family have accomplished lends credibility to the advice. I recommend this book to anyone (young or old) who would like to learn about the interesting story of the Mississippi Swim for Multiple Sclerosis, creative fundraising and public relations, or pushing yourself to realize your dreams. It's also a touching testament to the power of love and family. Congratulations Nick (and family) for producing this wonderful book and thanks for sharing your story and ideas.

Nick's book is a simple, straight-forward method to make your dreams a reality. It helps you determine what's important in your life and provides you the tools to move from the dream stage to the reality of achieving your goal. The author does a great job of relating his experiences and providing a road map to the reader who is looking to make a change in their life. The book was an excellent gift to all the high school graduates in our family. My book club thoroughly enjoyed it, as did I.

Swim Lessons: Ten Secrets for Making Any Dream Come True

Swim Lessons is a great book for anyone who has ever dreamed of accomplishing a goal. It is a perfect gift for 12-year-old kids or for adults in their 80s. It is so well written that you feel you are following Nick on his journey and you have a clear understanding of the obstacles he faced. Nick's story is exciting, his cause tugs at your heart, and his dream is realized! It is a quick read, full of great stories about his venture, and most of all, for me, a great lesson in how our dreams can come true if we follow the steps outlined in his book.
