Summary: Winning Smart after Losing Big
Review: Move over Dr. Phil! Rob Stearns packed this book with practical advice that explains how to move onward and upward following any type of loss. Mr. Stearns outlines the thought processes and actions that take us from losing to winning. He makes it clear that while losing is a normal part of life, we are not puppets of fate but rather active participants in shaping our own destiny: it is up to us to take responsibility for our own actions and turn our losses into wins. This book tells us how in a conversational, no-nonsense, non-preachy style.

Summary: A Winner Of A Book: Entertaining And Inspirational
Review: On a recent trip to Chicago I picked up this book and could not put it down. Rob Stearns speaks from his heart and guides you into a new way of looking at life. It is both inspirational and insightful. I'd love to attend one of his live programs when he is on the east coast. If his programs are as dynamic as his web site, www.robstearns.com, it will be worth the price of admission.

Summary: I've bought multiple copies to give away. Only two
Review: This was a stimulating book - clear, concise and not too full of psychobabble. It dealt practically with recovering from loss leaving the responsibility on the individual. I also felt that it was encouraging and honest. It did not make me feel good, but admitting my flawed thinking rarely does. This book is full of the obvious truths. In such, it is easy to understand. Chapter 3, Recognizing Your Loss, is one of them. I agree that we are often not honest with ourselves and hang on or ignore our losses. The observation in Chapter 2 that life is a series of wins and losses is another truth I had not thought of. It is encouraging to know that we have lots of experience in dealing with loss. Another obvious truth often overlooked is that we recover incrementally. We always seem to want it all back the way it was. That is not looking forward and not progressive. Learning and recovering from loss should make us stronger and as such, we should be looking to a future with more than the past. This is a good quick read, encouraging and practical. I recommend it for anyone dealing with the loss of something or someone important.

Summary: Great Read
Review: We all would like to think we're calm, cool, and collected. However, when faced with life's challenges and handed a loss most of us end up in a stagnant limbo for a period of time. Often times we are caught up in the moment loosing focus and the ability to make smart decisions. This book is an excellent reference to help clarify these thoughts and assist in choosing the right path forward. The book is a quick read and should be staple for those wanting to excel in life.
