Review of Always Strive to Be a Better You
[Following is a volunteer review of "Always Strive to Be a Better You" by Pete Hall.]
A life of happiness and fulfilled dreams seems to be what everyone of us aspires to have. The key to a contented life is the pursuit and realization of our goals. This is the central lesson in the book Always Strive to Be a Better You by Pete Hall. Using Greek philosophy and real-life stories, Hall manages to convey motivational lessons about living a good and purposeful life. To live a happy, virtuous, and good life, there are thirteen key learnings to remember. Read this book to find out.
What I like the most about this book is how it imparts the value of positive affirmations. Cultivating the right mindset and reconfiguring your inner monologues greatly impact the lives we lead. Those who know what they want to achieve and embody the right habits in pursuit of their goals typically win in life. The author speaks of people with real-life success stories in an attempt to inspire others with the idea that such notions transform lives. I also remember the metaphor of a greyhound and a rabbit. A greyhound runs fast to chase the rabbit. The rabbit represents one's potential, an asymptote that we will never catch up to because our potential only expands the closer we get to it. Hall says that we all have the tendency to strive for continuous growth and improvement, which is a nice perspective to have.
Apart from the discussions, there are interactive portions of the book as well. At the end of each chapter, one is asked to pause and reflect. It gives you a safe space to reach within and assess your core values. The author uses an engaging tone and relatively simple diction. I feel like such a writing style makes reading a nonfiction book not so daunting.
I don't have any issues to mention about the book, and I didn't encounter any errors while I was reading it. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars, owing to the exceptional editing, motivational ideas, and comprehensive delivery. I definitely picked up a lot of inspiring wisdom that might be useful in my life.
The author stresses the value of setting the right mindset, developing good habits, and surrounding yourself with a supportive environment, among many others. If these themes appeal to you, this book might just be what you need at the moment. Any nonfiction readers looking for a book on productivity and self-improvement should check this book out.

It is admirable how the author draws on Greek philosophy as well as actual accounts to impart inspirational lessons about leading a decent and meaningful life.
