The book gets five stars from me out of five. I felt like I was floating along while learning since the writing was so fluid and flawless. That, in my opinion, is its strongest point. It is both charming and instructive. I would unquestionably suggest it to all of my friends.

I love this motivational book as I believe we can be our true authentic selves. The blurb was really appealing. I appreciate that the author created five principles that can help us along the path of success.

Yes same here. I would prefer that there is no one on the book. For me it’s more assuring and not some kind a way like a sales on the front of the book

I appreicate the general message of the book and the research put into it. However, the amount of grammatical errors put me off and the book felt a bit repetetive to me.

The cover did not bother me as much, but some of the personal stories Tony shares seem unrelated to reality. Tony mentions at the beginning of the book that his father gifted him a computer when he was young, but several fathers could not grant that privilege, and it almost sounded like a brag rather than an expression of gratitude.

I have finally started reading this book, and it's actually really good. The cover put me off for a long time. I do like his writing style too, but I find a lot of grammatical errors, which is also off-putting. It's a book that is going to take me some time to complete.

I agree! I noticed that too. It did come across as a little bit grandiose. I'm not sure I'd actually like the author if we met in real life, but I am going to continue reading to see what value I can take away from this book.

I completely agree! I did the audiobook, which was worse in my opinion, but the whole salesman image is very offputting.

Overall, I rated the book 4 out of 5 stars. Content-wise, I learned a lot from reading this book. The information is valuable and applicable to any obstacle. I had to deduct a star because I found several grammatical errors, so the book was not professionally edited.

Omg! You just made me laugh out loud! I can only imagine what his voice sounds like. Is it self-narrated?

Latest Review: Twisted Threads by Kaylin McFarren

Post by Kirsti Friesen »

I gave the book at 3 out of 5 because I thought the cover was a little ridiculous. I saw the book for review and passed it up, then I went back and decided to give it a try. He is a salesperson of his own books technically, but the cover is definitely off-putting. I also found he used a lot of the same words making the book repetitive. However, he made a lot of great points of self-reflection and finding your true self. I did like the questions at the end of the chapters and found them helpful. Overall, a good self-help book.

I focused more on the hidden messages embedded within this book rather than its external presentation. Although I recognize that the book cover raised doubts, and the title and cover may not convey a consistent message, I take pleasure in acquiring a profound comprehension of human conduct.

I think the message that the author was trying to convey is a strong one and delivered quite well. He made you think hard about why you came to be the person you are and how to fix your insecurities. Finding my true authentic self was hard, but the questions at the end of each chapter were very helpful.

The cover seems a bit childish so it may put off some people. I like the message of the book, especially about self-belief and jumping out of your comfort zone. I would recommend this book to people who need a boost to their self-confidence as it seems like it would help.
