Customer Reviews

Why is this book so compelling?

This is not a particularly well-written or earth shaking book, so I'm not sure why I found it so compelling and inspiring. I think it is because it is so obviously honest and because it shows a regular Joe applying success principles to achieve goals. If you have read lots of self-help books (like Brian Tracy) this book is great because it shows it all in action. This guy is not trying to impress-- he is himself and that is the main selling point. I've read lots of books in this self-help, goal setting category and I think this is easily in the top five. God bless you Hal! You really seem like a unique and special person.

Inspirationally Breathtaking!!!!

An Amazing story of HOW NOT TO LET ANYTHING STAND IN YOUR WAY no matter what the odds! Hal inspires us to "Love the life you live while creating the life of your DREAMS!!!" This book is a must for any collection!

Incredibly inspirational true story

Hal Elrod is one of the most incredible & inspirational people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is one of those people who, after meeting, you simply can't get out of your head. His attitude, energy and enthusiasm simply get in and take over. This book tells the true story of a life altering accident. The great majority of the people in this world would have given in to the trauma that Hal faced at an early age. But Hal Elrod is different. His unwavering perseverance to regain the life that he lost is nothing short of a miracle. This past weekend Hal gave the keynote speech at an international sales training event. In his speech Hal quoted, "In every moment our life is shaped by the decisions we make." This is so true. Hal's daily decisions are the reflection of a man truly thankful to be alive, to be an inspiration, and to be the best possible version of oneself. Please read this book, and give another copy to someone you love and appreciate.

Truly an inspiration!

I truly believe that Hal Elrod is one of the most inspirational and courageous people I have ever met. His heart, his story, his determination, and his authenticity transcend anything I've ever known to exist in a person.
