Amazing story and motivation

A Friend of mine recommended me this book and I am very thankful for it. This is a great book about the life of Peach, who has a disease on which she does not have any control. Despite her challenges she kept determined, strong and positive. This is a great motivational book for any one of us to see around that how blessed we all are. All the things that we take for granted such as walking, eating, drinking and seeing are worth appreciating, and we should be thankful for every small thing we have in our life.
This story also resembles to our current issues. We all have the fear of unknown. Without knowing someone we make assumptions about them and put them in the bad bucket list. Peach life is a perfect example for us to learn that this life is too short. Spend it in spreading love, peace and harmony instead of hatred and fear.

This is an amazing story. If you want to be inspired by courage of some one striking out from a far away place and coming to America to get an education only to have to overcome language and social and financial challenges but succeed this book is a wonderfully inspiring read! It is a captivating story of determination.

This book is phenomenal.  Sarah is phenomenal! Her story is so inspiring and her plan is simple but you HAVE to keep going and motivate yourself.  Love seeing someone so committed to helping others and paying the blessings forward.  Sarah shows that with a positive attitude and a kind heart, you will succeed as long as you stay motivated and keep paying it forward.

"Pain and Gain" is one man's life story. From humble beginnings in a third world country, the author has worked nonstop to make a better life for himself only to become trapped in hideous danger and things he never could have predicted.

I really enjoyed reading this book and plan on sending a few copies to friends. The dedication and tenacity of the author is inspiring and motivating.

If you enjoy stories that challenge the human spirit, buy this book.

This was such a great book. If you are anyone interested in sports, or currently practicing, or just looking for motivation in life or within athletics, this is a must read.

Kathryn is a great writer, with a smooth flow, and also a motivator like none other. To read about her journey, ponder her wisdom and life lessons, is something that can affect anyone who is looking to strive. Everything she went through, no matter how difficult it was, is one of the most rewarding ways to go thru life, and I can only describe how I feel after reading this book:inspired

This was a great read on inspiration and motivation.  The author uses examples from his life to show us how ordinary people impacted him.  These were people he grew up with, people from his college days, from his work, his business, and just from pretty much anywhere.  He shares stories about moments when he thought he knew everything just to realize that he still has a lot to learn.

The author lays it out with utmost honesty, his failures, misunderstandings, and his cockiness at times.  Then, tells us how the people he met taught him to come back from failure, how to undo misunderstandings, and how to be humble.  He doesnt tell anyone how to do anything.  What he does is remind us that we are human and we will often make mistakes but that we should not be too hard on ourselves and keep trying.  His examples teach us that we should ask questions and talk to the people around us because they too have gone through many things in life and can help us in our troubles.

I found the author to be intriguing.  Hes a strong-willed person and never gives up.  He persevered and had this need to keep learning and keep finding answers.  I believe that was the hidden message behind this book.  He doesnt tell us who to be, but rather, he shows us by showing how he overcame many things.

This is a book that everyone should read.  Its short and written simply so that its easily understandable. It can also be used as a reference for those moments when life just isn't going the way you had hoped.

This is the first book I have read straight through within 3 days in over 15 years. I couldn't put it down.  Extremely inspiring and educational. I felt so happy and proud of Adam all the way through.  His courage and his sense of purpose and drive to make a difference for so many children is so remarkable. I will tell everyone I know about this book.  I want both of my sons to read it next.  This kind of book is what generates those who read it, to take some kind of action to either donate money to help or create ways to raise money and make a difference.  This book should be required reading in middle school to get young minds stirring with ways of making a positive difference in the world.  Thank you Adam for putting your story out there.

I bought this book to support an amazing person, whom I have loved from the moment I met her. I was not surprised by her talent, and not surprised at her being an inspiration, but I was so surprised and so proud, that I know this amazing woman. Her book was eye opening, and such a huge lesson for anyone that has gone through any turmoil in their lifetime. She takes you on her  journey, and you feel as though your experiencing it all with her. I learned so much from this story of her life thus far, and I was greatly inspired  from her courage and strength. I knew she was amazing, but now I see her in a whole new light, and her light is bright, strong, and the light we should all walk in. I would love to read more from this author. If only everyone had this kind of courage and strength, the world would be a far better place.

Here's why I love this book:

1.  Adam has an incredible story (for just being an "ordinary guy") and it proves that anyone can leave a huge mark on the world if they come from a place of vision and service for others.

2.  He shares stories on what he did and how the things he did were different from other "ordinary" people who don't create change and inspire the world.  These lessons are ones nearly everyone can relate to and take on as their own.

3.  It's moving, entertaining, and makes me want to play bigger in my life.

If you are looking to live the life you've dreamed up, full of impact, fulfillment and community then grab the book right now and enjoy the journey to extraordinary change.

First off, let me just say this book is fantastic!  Joe Cosgrove's story is truly amazing, from meeting Walt Disney to his time with Harvey Aluminum and General Automation, his experiences at Club 33, working with Bob Hope and many others.  The book itself is set a unique form, almost newspaper article length stories that make for a quick read and have you turning the pages quickly (I finished the book over the course of two evenings).  Joe's story is all about finding the positive in life, being both inspired and an inspiration to others.  It's a truly amazing life story that only serves to encourage other people to go after their own dreams in life.  Just this past week I was able to meet Joe in person and I have to say his personality was larger than life!  He and his wife were two of the warmest, most welcoming people and all his passion for life that comes through in his book is truly sincere.  Joe's love of life, of Disney and those he crosses paths with in life is truly sincere.

A story almost beyond belief.  More of us having only a fraction of the character this man demonstrated would make this planet a better place and help carry for those who just don't get it.  One of the most powerful messages delivered was the fragility of man - the opportunities we all have to choose the wrong path, and then by sheer strength from within along with help from outside ourselves (friends and strong spirit) to get back on the right path.  To aim high and push oneself to be a better person for not just oneself but for those around us.
A kick-ass motivating story about a blessed man and his amazing family.  Peace.

What an amazing inspirational story that needed to be told to the public. The perserverance and will power that Dr. Watkins had to overcome the obstacles that many would of given up is a testament to where she is now. Her weakness only made her stronger. The book is written in a way that will help ANYONE with tribulations and stressors in their lives to help those that want to help themselves and will NEVER give up until to you achieve the goal you have strived for. Dr Watkins should be on the talking circuit. I challenge anyone who reads her story and what it took for her to reach her goals to not be inspired and no matter where your at in life, this book will help you in every aspect. It will make you stronger. Excellent read and i will pass this on to everyone in my family. Thanks Dr Watkins and God bless you.
