Summary: Another accomplishment for Nick Irons (and family)
Review: 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.

Summary: The Blueprint to Execute your Dream - Swim Lessons
Review: This book and Nick's actions give me so much hope because he reminds me of someone I can relate to. It seems really possible to go for the dream and make it come true. I love Tony Robbin's messages (his book mentions he has T.R. books in his room too) but I think I get a bigger push from Nick because he reminds me of myself and my friends . . . somehow he makes fulfilling the dream more real, more credible.

P.S. This book got me off my tail to start making MY dream become reality!
