Good pep talk and fun to share, but lacks depth.

I don't know that I would have purchased this book myself, but my 13-year old son bought it for me, so I read it. I think it's a good pick-me-upper when one gets stuck in doubt, fear, fatigue, or whatever else might get in the way of reaching a goal, or even setting one, but it's not a book I like to read from front to back for hours at a time. It's full of quotes from various sources, including the Bible, famous leaders and achievers, and `anonymous' people. They are all very inspiring quotes, and the author shares his own thoughts between quotes, but there's not much conversational depth. Most of the chapters are two or three pages long. At first I shared the table of contents with my family, and started naming people that I thought needed to read the various chapters based on their titles. "Page 50, There's No Excuse for Being Full of Excuses. Oh, that one's for so-and-so!" That may have been judgmental on my part, but it was too much fun to resist, and my family soon joined in. I think I'll share a few chapters with my son when he needs an attitude adjustment. Maybe I'll put it in the guest bath so people can have a little fun and inspiration when nothing else is happening.

Awesome Reading!

This book will charge you up to go, do, and become! It is packed with wisdom, built on the solid base of the Bible. Consider the opening statement, "Almost everything we enjoy today was impossible yesterday." Mason reminds us that achievers have always been dreamers. They have always "seen" what was not apparent to the mediocre mind. He goes on to tell each reader, "There's a mission residing in you, put there by your heavenly Father. You see, He specializes in the impossible."Achievement is not the only theme of the book. He ties achievement in with living a quality life. His approach is holistic. The principles he presents are timeless, yet the gifted way in which they're presented is fresh. This is the type of book you will want to relish. I was in no hurry to finish it. I spent time reflecting, underlining, and writing my comments in the margin. You will be so thankful if you buy this book, read it, and apply its teachings.
