Review of Sunshine Among the Clouds

To a certain extent, I suppose, life events can be both good and bad. However, the dual narrative strategy sounds like an intriguing way to rewire our brains to pay attention to the positive.

Although I am not particularly interested in the author's life, I appreciate the fact that he highlights the fact that one should enjoy the positive things in life.

No one has a perfect life, and this book demonstrates the value of focusing on the positive aspects of your life instead of the negative. Thank you for your review.

Just upon reading the sample of Sunshine Among the Clouds truly grasped my attention. I really enjoyed how the Author depicts memories from childhood to adulthood, how the writer opened up vulnerability by giving readers as the audience an inside look of the Authors life, but more to it the feeling and experience. I will definitely give this book a read more than once. Your review beautifully connects to what should be expected from Sunshine Among the Clouds

Even though the reviewer states that this is a novel, after reading the sample, I'm pretty sure it's a memoir. I'm not partial to memoirs, so I'll take a pass on this one. But, I congratulate the author on BOTD.

I haven't read the book, but I see all the reasons to try it because of this review. It's rare for someone to tell his life from a negative perspective. It is also wrong to only focus on the negative side because failure isn't what defines a man. I think the book is educational and worth reading.

From the review Dan 'Axe' compares his life to a coin by narrating his life adventures from a positive and negative perspective. What are the lessons that Dan learns all through his life, are there consequences that he carries all life through? This are the questions I would like answered by reading the book. Thank you for a perfect review.

This is an interesting non-fiction book highlighting a detailed description of the author's life, from his early years through high school, college, and meeting his soulmate. The book is temporarily discounted on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review.

The idea of telling the same story through different lenses is intriguing. The author reminds us that there is always a bright side to life. Congratulations on BOTD!

Seeing a trail of the episodes that makes up the author's life is pretty good. He must have found a lot of lessons in his life to consider it worthy of documentation. Our lives are stories and we can choose how we tell it.

The book emulates real life, where everybody deals with good and bad times. Without the bad times, we wouldn't be able to fully appreciate the good times. It can be referred to as an autoduography, as it views the same life through two different lenses.

It looks like a good read, especially for people who struggle to work through the bad times in their lives.

Having just read a sample of this book, your review has me even more enthusiastic about continuing to read it.

I liked the way you opened with such thought-provoking questions and overall I found your review to be exceptionally well-written. I think the concept of a dual narrative is really interesting and such a clever way for the author to get his point across. And, I LOVE the coin metaphor.

I think it would be a really good book to read to gain some perspective and try a more optimistic approach to life.

Thank you for a great review!

"Sunshine Among the Clouds" by Dan "Axe" Dekruif offers a unique dual-perspective of the author's life, highlighting how our reality is shaped by our perception. It's a powerful reminder to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, rather than dwelling on the negatives. Congratulations on being BOTD!

The author was modest enough to discuss his failures and successes in the book. This can help people suffering from depression or living in fear of failing. Nice review.

I am unaware of who the author is, and while I appreciate that he narrates his life from both a positive and a negative perspective, I am not interested in reading this book. I am not a fan of biographical books, especially when I feel there is nothing in the book that could benefit me.
