In addition, he gives advice based on his experiences. Meaning, it is something he has had to overcome. His advices are what I'd call "Authentic Advises."

Yulisa Sanchez wrote: 12 Feb 2023, 07:39 What is most enlightening to me about Hansen's life is how he started from the bottom and rose to success. He took lessons from his dad at a young age to heart and knew the value of hard work and dedication. "Never give up, no matter what" is a great motto to live by and it inspires others when we see it actually works.
Speaking of rising to success, I enjoyed how he gave his ups and downs and his failures at some point in life. He was molded by his failed attempts, and over time, success came knocking on his door from his resilience and hard work.

I think this is one book where any reader will resonate with at least one experience or gain some knowledge and confidence on how to start afresh. Sometimes, change is as good as rest.

At some point in the book, bankruptcy is discussed. I would love to know if any reader resonated with that segment, especially from personal experiences. If so, how was it for you?

Agreed and it’s often practical and fees achievable as well, which is often not the case in this type of book.
We've longed to see the roses, but never felt the thorns
And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare

Relentless perfectly captured the story of Mark Victor Hansen. He had so many things that posed as obstacles to him. However he braved them all

This was exactly my thought when reading this book! I have already recommended it to a couple of friends and I really do believe that statement; "You can do it, if you believe in yourself."

I really like it when successful people give context for their lives. Reading about their childhood and early ambitions are always so inspiring! It makes them seem like real people, and not just icons.

My understanding of the concept is that a lot of Americans drink chicken soup when they are sick to feel better. In a similar sense, people turn to comforting stories to feel better in their minds. Therefore, Mark and his partner compare their selection of comfort stories to chicken soup in a sense that these stories are meant to provide comfort to a soul that may feel mentally worn out.

I think the title was perfect and I enjoyed the lessons that came with this book. First from the title I think it's good to be relentless and nothing is hard to achieve so far as we put in our mind and attention to achieving it.

Any book about self-development is an encouragement for me to read it. The takeaways after each chapter are a good guide.

The title of the book is very apt. It's in tandem with the entire concept of the book and the person of Mark Hansen. His relentlessness is the greatest lesson from the book.

I have mentioned that there are so many things about the book which I like. First I think the title Relentless resonates with the general notion in this book. Also, the book cover is eye catching. Then the content and message itself is great. Overall this is an enjoyable read with lessons and motivation.
