This book captures the reader’s attention in marvelous ways. Learning from both Mark’s successes and failures creates a unique and profound awareness intellectually. Mark was not only a successful public speaker and entrepreneur, but also an author, family man, and a loving husband. Such attributes are the ones which shape the greatness of a particular individual. I really appreciate what I’ve learned throughout the course of this novel.

The stories in the book offer collected wisdom on love, parenting, education, mortality, overcoming obstacles, and the highest human virtues that we all share, including compassion, grace, forgiveness, generosity, and faith. It is a wonderful book to read.

I've never had a book speak to me in such a manner before. The messages were clear and straight to the point; you can achieve what ever it is that you have put your mind towards achieving. And honestly, I have admired the author's relentless nature.

I am also curious about this! Does it have something to do with the idea that chicken soup is good for you? So maybe the book is good for you as well?
This is a book series named "Chicken Soup for the Soul" by Mark Victor Hansen. I remember someone had gifted me one of those books when I was younger. And I was truly touched by the stories in it.

Relentless is one word that describes Mark Victor Hansen’s personality, the best. He owned, faced and fought his failures and setbacks head-on.
His failures did not deter him from his journey towards excellence.

I love self-help books, where the author shares his experiences with the reader, it's always inspiring and motivating. And the book Relentless is a fantastic self-help book.

The title itself draws readers who like self-development and achievement to this book. Mark relentlessly chased his dreams and achieved them. The book contains timeless reminders for those who want dreams if they persist long enough.

This is a book that had to be written. It is inspirational and raw. It is packed with lessons from Mark's successes and failures. I enjoyed it.

Latest Review: Stage Fright by John Gore

Post by FunkyFlowerLady »

Relentless is a great title for this novel, in my opinion. We are surrounded by so many unfavorable forces that say we are unlikely to succeed. We also experience self-doubt and a lack of tenacity. This book is an excellent illustration of how someone can be his own best friend, coach, and cheerleader.

There is no shortcut to success. Hard work coupled with discretion often pays off at the end. Mark's efforts were not in vain.

It's important to remember that success is not a destination but a journey. It requires relentless effort, perseverance, and determination to keep pushing forward in the face of adversity. Whether it's dealing with setbacks, failures, or criticism, we need to develop a mindset of resilience and tenacity.

Travel with Mark on his journey through this story which gives great insight to his inner workings and personal drive. A must read for anyone looking for books on self-development!
The author did a great job in writing this biography. A lot of research was done and I like that there are testaments of people who know Mark V. Hansen. The photos are also a bonus. The book is well-written and well-structured. It is fascinating and offers great life lessons. I would recommend it to all readers, young and old alike.

I walked away respecting Mark more at the beginning of his life, but feeling like he became a bit entitled at the end. The more success he received, the more entitled he became. That's just my take.
It happened to me the same! :) I am glad this was proposed as book of the month, otherwise I would have never read it.

This book was a fantastic read and truly was "chicken soup for the soul." There were many great lessons about perseverance and the power of being relentless.
