Many times in our lives, we have failed to give our best efforts because we believe we can not. On the contrary, when we were younger, we always tried our hardest and celebrated every victory. What brought doubt our way? And why have we made the phrase "not possible" to be normal?
 
In his book, The Maestro Monologue, Rob White answers the above questions more convincingly. He claims that there are two selves in each of us: the Maestro and the intruder. Rob goes on to depict Maestro as our positive thoughts and dreams, whereas the intruder is our ever-negative self, who will always prove that we are incapable of achieving certain life goals. Furthermore, the author gives examples from his life to showcase how the two selves work. In conclusion, he provides his readers with several ways of killing the intruder and crowns the Maestro. He tops it up with a one-week challenge for his audience to participate in and free themselves from the chains of the intruder.
 
This book has many positives, including its richness in motivations. The information contained in the book is enough to change one's understanding of himself. For instance, comparing young people and adults in their willingness to achieve certain goals will make readers go back to the drawing board and rethink their life decisions. Another positive aspect of this book is the author's friendly tone in his writing. Rob White used a close approach to deliver his message and occasionally posed food for thought questions to avoid directly attacking his audience's weaknesses. Moreover, I liked how the author used different methods, such as metaphors and real-life stories, to emphasize whichever topic he was tackling. For instance, he gives his personal life story and how he was demotivated in his first trumpet lesson but later perfected because he realized the opinion given by his first tutor was not his and he wasn't supposed to take responsibility for it. Readers will warmly embrace this style because it will not only be entertaining but also help their understanding of the topic come into focus more easily.

The editors of the Maestro Monologue did an excellent job. I did not encounter any grammar or typo errors in this book. Consequently, I have no negative observations to give about this book. Therefore, I will rate it 4 out of 4 stars. This book changed my way of thinking and will change my life in general.
 
I recommend this book to people looking for something to boost their confidence in dealing with life issues. The information from this book, from how to detect if they are limiting themselves to how to break the limits they have set before, will be the exact tool they need to change their lives.
