I am an avid cyclist, "burn zones" is a term I understand well. However,the author's correlation to life circumstances to it, is a unique concept. I like it.
Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Jorge's autobiography seems inspirational especially the rags-to-riches story. Going by the cover, I had expected this to be a book on exercises and cycling! But was pleasantly surprised after reading the review. I would definitely check this book out. Thanks for the review!

The review is a well thought and appropriately written one. Even though I'm not a fan of sports-related books, the review has stirred something in me. BOTF

This is truly from grass to grace. Successful stories really entice me and I'm glad Jorge gave a glimpse of what is rarely shared by other people. I would be glad if I read this book someday. Congrats on BOTD

This is indeed a story to be told. An optimistic young boy who, despite his young mind was determined to have a good life. Because of his enthusiasm, he accomplished his goal — the music industry. Wonderful story.
Reading is a journey to the world.

This is a really nice review! I liked the enthusiasm you showed since it reflects how good the book must be. I'm not really a fan of inspirational reads, so I have not much to say about the title. Congratulations to the author!

The autobiography is awe inspiring instinctively showing how much one can succeed by starting small. The very idea brought to life from the beginning of the book. The kind of inspiration and perseverance needed to accomplish your goals. Playing your cards right and visualizing your goals is quite important hence the urge to strive is meaningful and beautiful. I love the very context brought in front of us and others. This is something worth deciding to learn and live from. :tiphat: 👍👏

I agree that I really liked the book, but the real estate section was my least favorite part. I would have loved to hear more about his time as a professional biker. Great review!

I don't read autobiographies, but this one seems inspirational. I like the idea of someone taking up challenges to change their circumstances, especially when their hard work pays off.

An autobiography is not what I mostly read so reading the first chapters did give me good reason to do so. I liked how even though the author earned money still lived like a common people. I would like to read the book.

This could be a useful memoir for some, to inspire them to work through the times when things do not go right. It details the author’s burn zones as he describes them and how he recovered from his failures. I enjoyed reading the enthusiastic and detailed review, thanks.
