Summary: A Great Read
Review: The most inspiring book that I ever read. It's funny, inspirational, and loaded with great information. I could not put it down.
Rating: 
Summary: Some good material, but too many asides to wade through
Review: The only good part of the book is his enthusiasm and his knack for getting "right to it" in his life. The idea of not waiting but doing it right now is well illustrated.But most of his pointers are copied from others or are ones that we have all heard before. Very little original. Plus he blends his points with crude and crass examples which detract from the book. He is a good example that you can have money without having class.

Summary: Do Good, Have Fun, and Enjoy the Wealth!!
Review: There are several bloody good points in Pat Croce's book "I Feel Great and you will too!" First and foremost, it is the power of positive attitude. According to Pat, it was his permanently positive attitude that helped him score big in life. A positive attitude, in turn, comes in several dimensions. It is self-confidence and sincere believing that life is an extremely great thing to experience. It is expecting success in the future and doing the best you can to help God make you prosper (and this does not mean lighting lots of candles in churches, at least not limited by that). It is pushing other people's limits, helping them achieve more than they have even dreamed of. It is "doing good" to "do well". And this all genuinely generates your excitement and further reinforces your positive attitude. Pat also stresses the importance of balancing your passion and tolerance, the Yang and Yin, in doing things. Being an extremely choleric person himself, Pat emphaqsizes the importance of cultivating tolerance and caring, the Yin, while it is clear from the book that the lack of Yang (agression, energy and passion), or over-restraint of your Yang, can damage the optimal balance as much. You have to have enough passion and energy to quickly rush into doing what you think is good and worthwile, to "buy" the minds and souls of your pals into the idea; but you also have to sometimes calm yourself down, sit still, and listen to the emotions, concerns and advice of others. Or, more in Pat Croce's style, to restraint yourself from getting too hot and breaking the skull & bones and ripping off the heart of someone who dared to say a bad word to you. And that all requires a good deal of Yin. Being a physical therapist himself, Pat shamelessly advertises the healthy lifestyle (physical therapy in particular), and does that so damn great, that I just couldn't keep myself from going to the gym the day I finished his book. So if you wish you had yet another stimulus to get yourself to a fitness center - this book will be a double benefit for you. Overall, the book is mostly a fun read, tells lots of interesting stories, and gives plenty of great advices. It also motivates you to do good things, become rich, engage in sport, and enjoy your life to the fulliest. A great book. P.S. I recently heard Pat Croce live, and it's nice to see that he learns and progresses. His motivational speech was mostly based on the facts from this book, but they were used more skillfully and also demonstrated some important points that this book does not make clear. Holla at you, Pat!

Summary: Just READ it Now!
Review: There are useful pointers when you don't have the time to go through the 2nd or 3rd time. Also, Pat gets straight to the issues (i.e. not beating around the bush) to lengthen the book. Trust me, it is worth your time and money. And yes, I FEEL GREAT !!! after reading this book.

Summary: Pay attention when reading this book
Review: This an extremely interesting book on several levels. If you just read it to read it then it can come of as an egotistical sophomoric recount of Mr. Croce's life. If you did that you would be cheating yourself of an extremely motivational tale. Instead read between the lines, particularly up until the chapter on the ten commandments of customer service. By reading between the lines you realize that the things that made Mr. Croce successful are not his wild stories of college hijinks. It's not his repeated desire to tear appendages from those who disgree. It is his pursuit of simple truths. Great things start with small steps. Persistence. A belief in yourself and what you pursue. Although these are things we already know this book just reinforces them and serves as a reminder. His ten commandments of customer service are things we all realize are important. If asked each of us would probably produce a similar list. Yet when I read them it made me review my own companies handling of customers. I can see where some stories can come off as a little much for some people but they should not deter anyone from reading this book. When I had first finished the book I probably would have rated the book a 2, maybe a 3. After thinking about it and really looking into the story I realize it was much more of a motivational book than I recognized at first glance. While I don't think it would improve to a 5 start rating I do believe it is a very solid 4 star. It is particularly so for someone looking to fortify an already existing similar view of life.

Summary: A True Success Story and an Important Lesson on Life....
Review: This book is a truely enjoyable. Pat Croce is a person who always believed in himself, his purpose in life and what he needed to do to be successful. In this book, he provides a reality of what life is all about and how you need to think in order to be successful in life no matter if it is business or personal. The irony is that as you read the book you see that Pat is nothing more than a very normal (at times crazy) guy, whohad the determination to achieve success. Although Pat at times appears arrogant of his success, he appears to be very grounded in himself and who he really is in this life. The most amazing part of the Croce story is his overwhelming loyalty to his family, friends and all his assocites throughtout all his years. Not many guys have friends who remain that close with them all these years. In addition through all his success,he always included them every step of the way. That is an attribute that is more valuable than his business success when the ballots on life are conuted. The book details his struggles with his motorcycle accident which almost resulted in him losing his leg and his difficult road to recovery. It also focuses on his rise to success in the Physicial therapy business and the building of a new sixers organization. His 10 commandments for customer services can and should be applied to any business as well as a general approach to life. This is enjoyable and allows you to appreciate a simple regular guy who worked hard to achieve success but more importantly knows how to enjoy his life everyday. Pat Croce your are a business success but more importantly as a man.
