For the author to demonstrate the impact of focusing on the negative and positive aspects of life through his own story is a very brave step in acknowledging the mistakes he made while making decisions and learning from them. He should be praised for choosing this unique way of guiding others to prevent them from making his mistakes and having a better life. Thanks for this excellent review.

I think reading the same life story from both the positive and the negative aspects is intriguing. I like the personal touch you add to the review by stating how if affected your life.

I'm curious to find out how the author achieved writing his story from separate angle. I'm assure this is an intriguing and satisfying book to read. Well done on the review.

'Official Review: Sunshine Among the Clouds' by Dan "Ex" Dekruif has a thought-provoking introduction. It well reflects upon the theme of the non-fiction book about making it through the dark circumstances of one's life for the reward of happy events that life offers. The point that the author provides a detailed description of his life, from his early years through high school, college, and meeting his soulmate is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the author's strength and vulnerability in inviting readers to witness both his happiest and darkest moments in life is commendable, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the book is recommendable for anyone seeking to live their best life and make the most of it!

Maturity changes a lot of things, and there are many experiences to be learned, either positive or negative. These experiences would determine the kind of life lived. Let me get the two experiences from the author. Nice review.

I commend the author's courage and openness in letting readers see both his happy and saddest periods , good and bad sides of his life. He not only showed incredible fortitude by discussing his most upsetting experiences, but also won readers over to his tale. This is a very nice review too. Congratulations on winning BOTD.

A story from two different angle. Now that sounds very interesting. I'm curious how the story will end. Thanks for the review.
