Summary: Excellent Book By An Excellent Man
Review: I have been given the opportunity to speak in person with the author of this book on several occasions and can honestly say that he has done his research and knows what he is talking about. While he is still a relatively young man, he has accomplished more than many have been able to in a lifetime. His examples and advice not only changed the way that I see the world but also made for one of the best reads that I've had in a good time.

Summary: Outstanding Book - Recommend You Buy - Change Life
Review: This book has changed my life!!! I love the 25 specific recommendations. I was about to give up on life but then I ordered this book. I read it in one night. I stayed up all night and developed a detailed action plan including a timeline and Gantt chart to improve my life.

Now my life is positive. Now my life is full of joy. Now my life is full of love instead of hating everyone at work and at home. Now my life doesn't suck like it used to. Now I want to live, live, live. I wake up everyday with a smile on my face ready to 'take on the day'. I go to sleep after checking my timeline and checking off the detailed action items that were due that day. If I don't finish an action item I don't get upset. I am happy to even complete one action item per day vs. not wanting to live and face day to day life before this book. Can I say more? Yes. Read on...

I learned how:

1. To Dare to be different from other people, especially negative peoples.

3. To Dare to think big and work hard, but to play really hard to.

2. To Dare to aspire to accomplish the impossible and defy the odds. I set a goal to climb Mt. Everest and did without oxygen tanks!

7. To Dare to be unique and deal with whatever criticism follows even from a**holes!

3. To Dare to stand proud even when everybody is mocking you. I learned to mock these jerks back and that usually shuts them up real fast.

14. To Dare to exceed the status quo and reach for the stars, the moon, the sun, but to remain firmly on mother (earth).

8.To Dare to make stumbling blocks your stepping stones to build a pathway that isn't slippery to avoid law suits.

1. I Dared to believe in yourself and your talents even when you are the only one, even if others think I am an idoit.

4. To Dare to be great and break the barriers that society places, without driving my car too fast and causing road rage in others (which has happened with uptight Microsoft employees).

33. To Dare to stand in the face of adversity and laugh, and laugh, and laugh, even if it pisses other people off and causes them to think you are a nut case.

2. To Dare to hope, to dream, to aspire and then to achieve and to become a millionaire or like Bill Gates.

0. And to I guarantee you--your life will never be the same unless you don't buy this book, you will continue to be a big, fat, ugly loser. So buy this book and do what I did and done and will do. Catch my drift? Did I convince you's yet? Just buy the gosdarn great book already. You won't believe the wisdom and knowledge that the author has and to think that he just turned 21 (Happy Birthday!!!). He was on NPR today.

Sincerely and a Happy Happy Life to you all,
Erica Phillips
