The definition of success is subjective, that's why I like how the author didn't focus on topics about how to become rich in their book.

The title of the book is already captivating. Most people let life happen to them, but I’m an intentional person so I think this book will benefit me.

A book about accountability and achieving goals instead of embracing victim mind set is something I believe is needed in today's life. I think this book would be beneficial to young adults to learn how to set goals. NIce Review.

Great job on the review. It is very detailed as it evaluates each of the three core sections so that a potential reader knows exactly what to expect. My two takeaways from your review is the quote "the secret to success is having the ability to stay focused for long periods at the right time and for the right reason" and that we must define success before pursing it. Congrats on BOTD!

I'm not really into self-help books but this one got me thinking about it, just by the tittle. I absolutely loved. After reading your review, I felt like I had to read the book. It looks very interesting, and the fact that the author is really straightforward is the best thing. I really liked how you described all the sections. Very good review.

I can already tell from the title that this is a self-help book, it is very clear and a little catchy to me. It also interests me on how the author will use the Crawling - Running - Walking concept. Great review.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how the author defined Crawling, Walking and Running. I like self help books because of the learning and motivation and they provide to people. I commend the author for sharing his knowledge and experience for self improvement of his intended audience.

The title itself is thought-provoking! I would love to know how the author views success. It seems motivating, despite the choice of terms. Nice work with your review.

One of the things I don't like about self-help books is that they tend to say, You're fine, you just need to love yourself. I'm happy to see that this book takes a different approach and tells the reader what they are doing to self-sabotage and how to get out of that habit. I believe too many people, myself included, have stopped themselves from doing something, or at least trying, due to self-doubt, lack of self-worth, and basic fear of failure. This book lays out the realities of how we can recognize our "but" moments and turn them around. This is a fantastic review!

From the title of the book, one can be able to tell how funny it is. There is a saying that goes "no food for a lazy man". Thanks for a detailed review.

Self-help books are great. This certainly look like a good one too. However, if everything learned is not put into practice, it would be of no benefit.
Nice review.
I now have an idea of what this book is about.

Seeing the title alone would have been a huge turnoff and I usually don't read self help books BUT this guy has a lot to offer. From the get go he was already issuing out advice that many of us need today. We all want the good life with the car and house and money but what are we actually willing to do about it.
Ended up loving it
Hats off to the author :tiphat:

This title is one thing that attracted me in the first place, and I am glad you enjoyed it. It draws in. And to learn that it sets itself apart from other self-help books is awesome.
