Re: Official Review: Fear Not, Dream Big, & Execute

Post by María Andrea Fernández Sepúlveda »

Meyer advises readers to follow their own dreams. He tells that trying to fit into someone else's dream robs the world of your unique contribution. Therefore, it's his dream that this book will play a role in sparking a movement of dreamers.
I'm not usually drawn to this kind of books but this line of your review resonated with me. I deeply believe each of us has something unique to offer to the world and by not "exploiting" the gifts we've been given we not only feel frustrated but deprive others of benefiting from our capacities.
I'll give this book a read, thank you!

Good review. I’m usually not into self help books but it caught my attention as I do like the inspiration. I would love to make some dreams come true so here we go. Let’s try it out.

I appreciate this book as a catholic, though I'm not a religious leader. I like that it includes personal stories to validate the claims.

This one is going right on my want to read shelf. I find myself needing to have some scripture incorporated into a self-help for me at the moment. I’m realizing how valuable it is as the foundation of my life, and this one looks like it’s a good one to get readers on the right track. Focusing on God is what I need at this time. Thank you for this insightful review!

The religious elements are a deal-breaker for me, despite the uplifting messages in the text. This sounds like a wonderful book for the right audience, which maybe isn't me. Thank you for your review.

Even though I usually like spiritually-based books, this one seems too self-help-y. I also don't want to read about Christian consumerism, so it's a 'no' for me.
