Summary: It is beatiful and from the heart
Review: Contrary to the Kirkus review of Mr. Williams' book, this is an excellent book with a great story. It should be required reading of all high school students, regardless of race or socio-economic backgrounds. Yes, his solutions may be simple; that does not mean they are easy. His version of the 3 "R"s- restraint, responsibility, and respect are the fundamentals missing from our children's upbringings in today's world. However, his message of the great equalizer, education, and the free resource available to all Americans, our public library system, is preaching to the choir since the ones reading his book are the ones already using the libraries and taking responsibility for their own learning. But, overall, one finishes the book with the reinforcement that maybe good things do happen to good people who hold to their values as they pursue a more noble vision.

Summary: A must read for any teenager
Review: I purchased this book several years ago and found it to be very down to earth. I appreciate the fact that while Montel shared his not always so bright life with the public he was able to share lessons learned that could bless someone else who may have been going down the same path. I commend him as a man to be able to receive correction but to also admit fault and openly correct his behavior to make his future better. I also enjoyed the example of him standing up for his show and doing what he thought was a proper format not matter what the cost or what the network execs thought. Being an example for our youth is important and Montel showed that he could influence our children on their level and not preach at them. This book gives us all a reality check in things we can do to improve ourselves, our relationships, our children and our society. Continued success!

Review: In Montel William's book, he brings much light onto the never-ending battle people have with frustration and "hard times." I was given this book as a gift from my mom. She said she heard from people at work that it was very eye-opening and motivational. I would be lying if I said I didn't agree. From the opening chapter, until the very end, you'll get a feeling of warmth and bursts of motivation as you read about the trials and tribulations of Montel as you begin to relate to your own life experiences. His recollection of a motivational lecture at a high school where he calls on a young boy to discuss issues of morals (chapter 2?) will put an ear-to-ear smile on your face. While this book is not a "billion-dollar" winner, it sure is worth a read. I find myself thinking about this book in particular when I come across situations in my life that require personal integrity and determination. I am now 18 and I still think about the words and wisdom that Montel had to offer. Do yourself a favor and give it a chance, it might be as influential on you as it was me.
