This story dealt with both the author’s personal journey from a troubled adolescence to a decision to improve his life, be a success and make a difference. Overall it is a good self help, mainly because it does deal with personal struggles. Having met the author on numerous occasions, I have to state that he is a personable, yet focused, individual whom it is difficult not to like. Those characteristics shine from the pages as he puts into words his driving wish to have everyone achieve their own personal level of greatness, whether that desire is to be the best cook or the best astronaut or the wealthiest business owner, and the words of the book uplift as they encourage, making it one of the stronger of the self help style writings.
However, and I try to say this kindly, as I never know when I will meet Croix again, there are a few quibbles I have with the writing, writing style, and research for this book.
First, the author needs to do be careful when he is acknowledging the works of others. He gave the wrong attribution to the Harry Potter books on page 21 – it is “J.K. Rowling” not “J.K. Rowland”. He also needs to be careful of the wording: he said that Thomas Edison “botched” his experiments. Edison was very analytical, and kept trying different possibilities, documenting what happened each time. This is not a botch!
Second and last, although the story is told in the first person and therefore reflects the author’s attitudes and life, it still needs to adhere to the rules of grammar: bad grammar is acceptable and sometimes unnoticeable in spoken language, but it is very obvious when written down, especially as it is easier to go back over the wording on paper, as opposed to trying for verbal recall.
However - I did pick up what well may be one of my Best Quotes for presentations and for encouraging those who work for me: “You don’t join a scuba club to find people who like to knit.” followed / in conjunction with “Make your dream bigger than yourself.”

This was a "free gift" that came with his excellent 90-Day planner. It's not a great book of ideas, but more of inspiration. Basically a re-emphasis of the adage;
"Motivation is like taking showers, you can go without it--but I wouldn't recommend it"

Extraordinary Athlete!
Croix Sather, while running across America, ran a marathon everyday for 100 days and on top of while running stopped everyday for 100 days and did a seminar.
I mean who else does that?
An amazing mindset.
