Now hooked on tennis, everything is the book is relatable to my current life. The Author has gone through many mental and physical trials and tribulations and yet through tennis, continued with a life of personnel development and joy. The hardships he endured, losing his wife, suffering from total hip replacement, and then returning to competitive tennis in his seventies. This book really inspired me. Recently I have been battling tennis elbow and have had to take time off from tennis. The author of this book had to take off a year or longer in overcoming his obstacles. Nothing stopped him. A book that is great for tennis player, and non players like. Many life lessons here. I highly recommend to everyone.

I loved this book. It was a perfect match for me -- a tennis player talking about life. Bob Litwin is a competitive tennis player who was a tennis teacher and coach. Then he started working as a coach on Wall Street with investors. The chapters are short and have lots of stories. So I read this book slowly, a tiny chapter any given night. It's really changed my thinking on a lot of areas of my life -- all for the better. I highly recommend it!

Brilliant book about change and tips on how to stay true to that change. Instead of relying on your Old Story of your life, this book demonstrates that no matter what your New Story (what you really want in life) is, it is possible.

I felt the topics did move around a little too much but, all in all, wonderful, powerful, uplifting advice on moving forward and Living the Best Story for your life.

First book I've annotated in a long time (there's a ton of information)!

Overall, I took a few things from the book that I've now incorporated into my life such as focusing on small wins a lot more. Not a difficult read, but definitely gives actionable advice after each "chapter".

I've been reading a handful of personal development books and I'll re-read this again.

A conglomeration of the wisdom that is out there for living well in North America, very male and sports/business oriented but still accessible and worth reading, although some typos and grammatical errors were unfortunate.

This book really shifted my perspective. Our old stories don't always serve us, yet we hang onto them like an old robe. Bob's lessons are simple and can be deployed by anyone and writing a new story can be liberating!

Listened to the audio. Really good book, I need to listen again and do the work.

[Francesca · Rating 2 out of 5]

Started out interesting but then had a very formulaic chapter structure which stopped me from reading on regularly.
The personal story/case study interjections were off putting to the point I started to question their validity. I appreciate he has a lot of experience but it came off as personal rather than professional... and it just wasn't what I was looking for.

[Daniel · Rating 1 out of 5]

Presumably, this book was written by a professional, reviewed by an editor and published by a professional book publisher. And yet, it is riddled with grammar errors. Given the above assumptions, I cannot possibly rate this book higher.

[Akhil Parekh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent read. Falls into self-help book category with a concept of story telling. It's about erasing your grumpy, can't do, depressing Old story & replacing it with fresh, no complain and can do New story.
Bob Litwin provides you with 33 tools that can help one become New You. Rather than what you want, book tries to teach you who you want to be.

Nothing as such any brand new concepts but a read can leave one little wiser.
