YOU GOT TO GET THIS BOOK!!! November 11, 2008
Dorothy Freeman (NEWARK, NJ)
This is a great book! It's very inspiring. I love to read books about the "process" that people went through to arrive at their present place in life. Like the saying goes "It's not a cake until it's baked" Everybody has to go through something to become something. If you read this book you will definitely will receive alot to encourage you to press on in this journey we call "life".
 Fails to Inspire March 8, 2008

An interesting construct for a multi-author book, but the contributions are safe and lacking in personal connections with the reader. I mean, Muhammad Ali (whom, interestingly enough, influenced me as a teen) chose Nelson Mandela and it sounded like the relationship was mostly an admiration from afar rather than any personal connection between the two men. By far the best contribution is that of Mr. Washington himself, who allows himself many more pages than others in describing the relationship with the Boys and Girls Club and the mentor who helped to mold his life. The thing about mentors is that often the relationship is informal and the influence isn't realized until many years later. Some people just make you a better person by being themselves. I think if the contributors to this book had focused on that part of it, this book would hit the inspirational mark that it seeks.
 Words of Wisdom January 22, 2008

Enlightening as I am often interested in who and what motivated people. It is good to know that most people are encouraged by "regular" people. This can may you reflect on who had a positive impact on your journey. Kind words and act can move people to move mountains. This book is filled with inspiring accounts; I think it is a great motivational tool for people who think they are not affecting change with their words of wisdom and those who do not believe that where they are now does not have to be their ultimate destination.
Inspiring examples of mentors who had strength of character December 16, 2007
Michael Lee Stallard (Greenwich, CT)
This book is filled with short inspiring stories of individuals who exhibit strength of character and, because of it, had a profoundly positive impact on the character development of another human being. If you like reading short, inspiring, biographical stories, as I do, this book is for you.
One of the patterns that emerges is the power of mentors and developing people. It's made me consider increasing my own mentoring. The book's stories also support the universal human needs for recognition, belonging and personal growth(needs that are necessary to thrive) that I wrote about in Fired Up or Burned Out: How to Reignite Your Team's Passion, Creativity, and Productivity.
