3 out of 4 stars
Share This Review


Win Your Wounds is written by Abdulbagi Khalifa Alimam. In this book, Abdulbagi Alimam shares his perspective on life, relationships, and just how we look at the world and people. He shares his own experiences that have been meaningful, annoying, funny, and inspirational. The author's unique perspective makes you think outside of the box, and makes you question the actions that you take. This book helps you gain an understanding of what it is like to love yourself and be at peace with others. His perspective is that we can be successful and do great things in life if we just treat others with respect.

This book, in my opinion, was extremely inspirational and made me think about life in a whole new way. Abdulbagi Alimam really had an interesting perspective, and I agreed with him on many of the subjects he tackled. He took on every subject from love, how we go about in our daily life, our relationships, how we treat our enemies, and just how we treat people in general. We should always treat each other with respect, no matter if we dislike them or not. Treating people the way that you want to be treated will always lead to a positive life. When I finished this novel, it made me feel happy about life and made me want to put in more of an effort about how I treat others. Another thing that I liked is how he added his own personal experiences to make people understand his point of view. That helped a lot because then you can understand his feelings on each subject and how he applied those feelings to his daily life. It always helps to see someone else's perspective on life.

I honestly don't have anything bad to say about this book. It was written very well. What I did notice however is that there were a lot of misspelled words. Aside from that though there was really nothing else wrong with the book.

For anyone looking or a good positive and inspirational book, this is the perfect book for you. This book will not let you down, and it will make you think about the actions that you take every day and how you treat the people around you. Do the ones know how you appreciate them? Do you treat the people around you with respect? Do you love and respect yourself? These are a few among the many questions that this book makes you ask yourself. It will definitely get you thinking.

I give Win Your Wounds 3 out of 4 stars.[/b I didn't give it a higher score because there were misspelled words in nearly every chapter. It certainly did not deserve a lower score though because it was very well written and made some very good points. It made me feel very positive about myself and was truly an inspiration to me. I would recommend it to anyone.

Thank you for your review. I hate it when simple editing errors make the book difficult to enjoy, but this looks like a good read nonetheless. In my introspection lately, respecting others has been a gap in my character that I've been working to remedy. You've convinced me that this book will be a good read for me.

Great review!

This sounds like my dad--the man has no enemies.

Respecting people. Wowz. I'm guessing that my habitual "death glare" wouldn't qualify. Good food for thought here! I'm glad you enjoyed this book!!

This sounds like a really intriguing read, but I'm not sure it's my cup of tea. Great review!

I am honered and pleased regarding the great job done by csimmons032 in reviewing "Win Your Wounds". I believe this review is by far very objective and honest.
What I need to add here is that I re-edited the book following that review, and I believe that its current version is largely if not virtually free of anymore spelling errors.
Thank you csimmonns032 for your valued efforts and sorry for delaying my response....
Sincerely,
Abdulbagi K Alimam
