A lot of people need just a little push, a little guidance, a few kind words, and a little assurance that they are on the right path to enable them to identify, pursue, and actualize their goals, dreams, or desires. To such people, I recommend Jeff Meyer's The Dream Primer: Turn Your Low-Def Ideas Into A Stunning Hi-Res Future You Must Pursue. They will find in this book every insight and tool they need to discover their talents, identify their strengths, and conquer their weaknesses.

This book is a simple and potent guide to inspire people to take decisive actions to discover and actualise their dreams. The discussion begins with "A Note to the Reader," progresses to "The Dream Circle," and ends with "Final Words." Sections like "Case Study," "Exercise," and "Connect the Dots to Clarify Your Thoughts" were included at strategic points in the book to make things easier and more practical for the readers.

I liked that the author addressed a lot of factors that obstruct people from realising their dreams. Readers will be amazed to read about them. He also gave practical illustrations on how to distinguish between "MEQ" (Mere Excuses to Quit) and "LCC" (Legitimate Changes of Course). It was a time of great enlightenment for me.

I found the lessons presented in this book insightful. I was empowered by the lesson presented on "The Dream Circle: Habit One." I discovered the invaluable benefits of listening to inspiring voices, maintaining a positive attitude, and being intentional about that. I found out that nothing works unless we prepare for it.

The author's tone was friendly and encouraging. The lessons in this book were not packaged to make a show of superiority in knowledge, wealth, or connection. The author wrote the book with the tone of a loving father addressing his children. I was encouraged to come out of self-pity, pick myself up, and take decisive actions that would make "my tomorrow" better than "my yesterday."

I was impressed that Meyer took the time to explain the major concept in the title of this book, which is "dream." As used in this book, "dream" simply means a goal, an aim, or a desire. This measure prepares the readers to understand from the onset what the discourse is all about.

I don't have anything to complain about this book. I rate The Dream Primer: Turn Your Low-Def Ideas Into A Stunning Hi-Res Future You Must Pursue four out of four stars because of the positive points I highlighted above. I can't deduct any stars from the rating because there is no reason to do so. I didn't find any grammatical errors in it; it was thoroughly edited. The author remained true to the thematic preoccupations of this book.

This is a well-written review. I like what Jeff Meyer has to offer in this book; actually I have a lot of things in my mind to achieve. The problem has always been to get started, and when I sometimes do, to remain consistent. I hope this book helps me out.

Such a motivational and inspirational piece. A lot of people end up not achieving their goals no matter what they try so it's important to understand what we may be doing wrong. There is no certain rule to achieving one's goals so we have to understand what works for us. Your review is detailed and helps one understand the message of this book. Nice review.

I am really not a fan of self-help books, so I probably won’t read this. However, it does sound like this contains some practical in formation. I’m pretty sure it would be helpful in the journey.

It is always said that knowledge is power. A lot of people are frustrated, while a lot are failures, because they had no one to guide them on how to discover and actualize their talents. I think Meyer's ideas are informative and empowering. I recommend it.
