This book gave insight of a Gabriels life, he shared thoughtfully the highs and lows of his life and gave the reader his valuable advice. It gave me a new way to look at my life and I am most definitely getting this for members of my family.

The ending stuck with me the most. "This is your only time This is your chance, to make things different, To desire, to dream, To embrace your passion, Your passion to discover your path, your light, To make decisions, to walk new worlds, To make things right, To evolve into everything, into an infinite calm, It is your time, make the best of it and live everyday as your unique chance to make a difference and work on your dreams. If you believe it, if you desire it, with all your heart and faith, it will happen: your thoughts will become real." I believe that this is a beautiful quote from Gabriel that really stuck with me and I hope that others around the world come across this book and feel the positive impact that Gabriel has on the world.

This was a great self help book. There’s a lot of great quotes and examples that help get the point of each chapter across. I reallllyyy enjoyed this and highly recommend. There’s some things in this book that I felt like I personally needed to hear and I feel like it would probably have that affect on most.

It was very motivating and empowering.

This book was very inspiring! I had just gotten out of a break up and decided to just randomly grab it off of my sisters' shelf. It truly is life changing and offers a different perspective to life. I would recommend this book to anyone who is struggling through any sort of mental health difficulties. It offers so much insight and positivity.
