What a gift to get a glimpse into the mind of a man living with Aspergers. As a Special Olympics coach this book has enlightened me greatly and will be beneficial in teaching what John Elder Robinson has, to concentrate on the ability and not the disability of it.
He uses examples from his own life and situations to help you understand better.
Very well written in a practical way makes reading this informative book easy and fun.
The advice on how to beat the weaknesses is invaluable!
I loved reading this book and the moments of hilarity.  It's a definite must read!
I received this book for free in exchange for my honest unbiased review.

The author has written a very engaging understandable book that would be useful to any person young or old who wants to get ahead financially.  Her stories and strong emotional conviction make a compelling case for facing up to one's financial challenges and she tells you how to overcome them.  I also like her emphases on the power of thoughts.  This makes a great reference book and deserves to be read over and over again.  In this book, I felt like she was standing beside me saying you can do this; it's easier than you think and here is how.  The book leaves one feeling more hopeful and knowledgeable about money.

I could really feel his trials and problems .  Very well written.  Everyone should have some experience with our troubled system even if just from a well written book.

I read this and the author's other book in the wrong order, I think, but it didn't matter.  A very readable style with practical advice and excellent examples.  And as with his other book, I like his style better than similar books by other authors.

Robby Carroll, but using himself as an example, encouraged me to think about my own life and how my background and life experiences affect who I have become.  He also shares many of the tools that have helped him (and thus might help me) to overcome some of the difficult experiences he had growing up and allowed him to deal with life in very effective and mature ways.  I highly recommend this wonderful little book.

This is written from what seems to be a guy I would get along with. He is funny, writes in an engaging fashion and supplies the principles behind the methods he describes in VERY easy to understand examples.  I read the entire book in one sitting and found it to be very informative and entertaining even.

I can only review this book from the point of view of a retired man who enjoys seeing "how the other side lives."

So many "improve yourself" or "psychological" books are hard to read, but this book helps you get a clearer look at life by asking you to see your life as a game with rules, and as you learn these rules, you learn how to deal with friends, protagonists and antagonists, among others. We must remember that improving our view of ourselves also includes improving the way we see others who are important to us.

Yes, we also need to learn to recognize the negative people in our lives and minimize what effects they cause. Sometimes this latter is harder to accomplish than the former.

Learn the rules of "HIDE AND SEEK" and you can make your professional life better.

I highly recommend this book to you. In fact, I even recommend this book to select men who can enjoy a new direction in life.

This is a really good read for anyone who is dealing with Alzheimer's or dementia as a patient or caregiver. It is easy to read and understand with many practical tips towards better health and everyday living with these debilitating conditions. Written from personal experiences with passion, this book is a keeper.

This author gets it, explains it from  his own perspective then demonstrates how he lives it. It is definitely a guide to walking your talk.

What an excellent read.  Its practical, but its tips are seriously helpful.  And some examples are just reminders of things we should be doing (which we already know, but we still don't do).  Anyway, its a great book, especially for someone just graduating from high school or college, but even for a wider audience (people who have jobs), this book would be beneficial to read.

I really didn't know what to expect when I first picked this book up. I will admit I'm some what a fan of 50's music which did influence me a little bit in buying this book. The way he explains himself in his story almost makes you feel apart of it. He does a fine job of being descriptive and getting the message he wants to get across. I would say to anyone who is a fan, likes music or just wants to read about someone who has gone from nothing to something, read this book. It's inspirational to see what someone has gone through to get to the top. Nothing is easy in life, and if you need some motivation just read his story.

This is a practical, encouraging and very readable book.  I've already purchased several for friends.
In life, blitz's happen.  They're not optional.  And we can react (as most people do) in ways that usually make things worse or, with God's help we can respond in ways that help us heal and grow and become even more effective.
Our circumstances don't have to determine our reality.
We don't just have to survive, we can thrive. We CAN be more than conquerors.
Jeff's style is very readable and his  real-life stories are engaging.  In Facing the Blitz I found things that will help me be a better husband, father, grandfather, professor, psychologist and friend.
This book is the real deal about real life and will give real hope and help to every reader.

I found this book very informative, well organized with good practical examples. I wish if the book had even more examples from real life situation.

As a career professional, I like when books like Steve's cover not just the mechanics of getting on with your career, but also the emotional and financial issues that go along with it. Steve has a process that asks the tough questions and guides one through his process of self actualization.

Yes, Steve is from the UK and there is a bit of language differences like "Redundancy" rather than "Layoff". The concepts are completely transferable to the US market.

A must read chapter is on Portfolio Careers!
