Congrats on BOTD!
After reading the review, I was motivated and uplifted. These sections include a lot of information, especially on how to draw conclusions from shortcomings that lead to gains. The review was well-written and passionate in relation to the book, and I also liked it. I am impressed, and I will read this book for sure!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of "Sunshine Among the Clouds" by Dan "Axe" Dekruif. True, our life experiences impact our view and disposition, and the author's account appears to demonstrate the power of perception in creating our reality. It's wonderful to hear that the author's candor and honest presentation of his life experiences touched you and pushed you to focus on the positive elements of your own life. Your review is insightful and helpful, and it may inspire others to read the book and obtain useful insights from the author's point of view.

Non fictional, motivational books are not my cup of tea but the review is very enthusiastic. And I do agree with the author that reality is only the perception of life. If you notice the positive things in your life then you'll be happy but if you pay attention only to the negatives, then that is what you will get. Congratulations on becoming bOTD!

Today's BOTD indicates how the same life can be seen differently depending on a person's perspective. Your review was engaging and thought-provoking. The sample pages showed how some tragic events could leave a child scarred for life. Reading the first few pages caused a cloud of sadness to engulf me. I like the author's open and honest way of sharing what happened. I know that the first half deals with the sad portions of the author's life. However, the depressing feeling prevents me from wanting to keep reading. But I am sure it will be an inspiring read in the later part of the book. Congrats on the BOTD, though!

I don't enjoy reading Non-Fiction as a rule, because I rarely see any sense in it and I am afraid this book won't be an exception. The author doesn't seem to introduce any new concepts and beliefs, many religions and philosophical teachings insist on staying positive no matter what. How anyone could believe it is practically possible for a human being during negative experiences is all together different matter?

How we perceive our own lives plays a massive role in the overall happiness we can get from it. If you are constantly unhappy and view everything from a negative standpoint, it can be almost impossible to recognize the good things in life.

This book is unique because it showed the real and raw thoughts of the author, exposing his vulnerability and darkest moments. Most people could resonate with his story and message. It is also told in a dual narrative, one highlighting the negatives, while the positives on the other. It is always recommended to choose optimism and focus on the sunshine among the clouds. So life can be manageable and better no matter the weather. Thanks for the review.

A nice life coach book "Sunshine Among the Clouds" by Dan "Axe" DeKruif, which shares a dual-perspective account of the author's personal life from his childhood to adulthood. A nice book to read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This author has a very interesting approach; writing the same story from two different viewpoints, positive and negative, sounds exiting. I am sure reading this book would be an eye-opening experience. Also comparing life to a coin resonated in me. This book sounds quite exciting! Thank you for sharing your thoughts about this book.

I think it`s pretty impressive to write your own life story in detail from two perspectives. I believe writing such a novel was tremendous experience for the author and probably very inspiring for the reader to think about his own life.

This is a great memoir that that aims to prove that reality is based on our own perception of life. He does this by narrating his life in two opposite ways. In the end, anybody interested in living their best life should pick up this book to find out how to achieve it. Congrats on the BOTD!
