It took longer to go through this book not because of the book, but a stressful summer. I have come away looking at thinking in a while new way. I'm some ways, I am a good thinker,but I found some other places I need to work on. It is definitely a book that I will give to my children to read.

This is another in the "Jump Start" series from John C. Maxwell. Daily readings are good and the reflection/application sections are on target and some challenging.
