As I put this book down, I stand up and do a little dance – just like Brandon told me to!
What I liked about this book: * The layout: I DO judge a book by its cover and this book is such a beautiful piece of art to look at and hold in your hands. * The language: I felt like the author was by my side and holding my hand every step of the way * It’s easy to follow with lots of real-life examples and further reading recommendations * Every chapter finishes with a wrap-up and review, which is great in case you want to go back to a topic in the future * It also includes challenges you can do which are no BS and bring actual value
What I didn’t like about this book: * I’m way more confident and empowered than before, and I don’t seem to recognize any limits any more * I feel a constant “hunger” for more now * The book came to an end and I want more of it!
