I completely support President Monson as a prophet of God. He is a great man doing great things.

But the closer a book gets to being a hagiography the less true it becomes. The only person who was perfect was Jesus. In my opinion the best type of biography is one that shows me a great person who is also a flesh and blood human being. This is more inspiring and valuable to me than a book that only shows me a marble statue on a pedestal.

I can't help contrasting this biography with another one about a modern prophet:&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Joseph-Smith-Rough-Stone-Rolling/dp/1400077532/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling</a>. I saw Joseph Smith as a real person in that book, and I therefore admired and appreciated even more what he accomplished. I saw the glorious things the Lord can accomplish using us mere mortals.

Fantastic work by a fantastic person. Certainly had a way of centering and identifying true adversity.

Look forward to reading it again in the future.

The story of Soichiro Honda is very interesting. He was certainly a remarkable man and left behind a legacy of honesty and hard work. His natural curiosity lead him to accomplish great things. I believe many people would benefit from reading about his life.

Great book for anyone interested in the life and rise to power of one of the greatest Presidents this country has ever known. Well written and the photos were a real treat.

Beautifully done! A great tribute to a very special person who lived a life we can only imagine. I'm not a star-struck person but rather someone who choses to admire only those deserving of it. I research everything about The Beatles I can find and sift through the ever-present misconcpetions. I know of their hypocracy (e.g., While not as hypocritical as Paul or John, George writes of living in the material world and tells us we should limit our possessions lest they possess us... writing such things while sitting in one of the rooms of his castle). I'm realistic enough to accept these things, look past them, and listen to George, the man. I have always admired him for his honesty, his humor, and for his wonderful ability to truly not care what anyone else thinks of him. You'll see a lot of that in the video, along with some great historical photos and films which are very factual. You'll definitely learn something about him. I'm not a fan of his later music, and the video contains a lot of that. However, it does show his devotion to his beliefs. Of course, his greatest music is also included as are interviews with his close friends such as Eric Clapton.

Both the personal and professional moments show a truly honorable man.

An inspiring story of success achieved by hard work and ethical behavior throughout his career. A frank and open discussion of his successes and failures (not many), coupled with his shortcomings. Particularly appreciated his behind the scenes discussions of board room negotiations on corporate governance. The clever weaving of his personal and family life, as it shaped his professional successes make for interesting reading. The book is well written, which makes it difficult to stop once you start reading. A must read for all first and second generation immigrants, as well corporate executives making their way up the leadership ladder.

What a great story about a man who accomplished so much. It demonstrates that anything is possible no matter what one's handicap. Mace set personal goals and would not let anyone prevent him from accomplishing them. Loved the pictures and how he got to meet so many famous people. It is a quick read with so many life lessons.

Truly an amazing person.  As I read his notes, I wondered when slept.
So much did he accomplish in his life.

Truly, a story of a brilliant self made man (with a little help along the way) worth reading. Inspiring in that the triumphs and numerous struggles are included revealing the joys and heartaches of his working career and family life. Other than a stint in the U.S. Air Force, my employment has been as an hourly worker and I wish my employers had had the concern and care for my welfare as Mr. Goldbach had for all those at Metro Machine. Bravo to him for his selflessness and great generosity to his workers, community, friends and family. Janet is " the woman behind the man" and a friend to everyone she meets. A wonderful lady, artist and personal friend.

Honest and open view of Andre's career.  Never thought of the sacrifice and work of professional athletes. He overcame so many obstacles and redeemed himself in the end.  Great accomplishments.  I truly admire his desire to help others.
