Jim Stovall has been a national champion Olympic weightlifter, the President of the Emmy Award-winning Narrative Television Network, and a highly sought after author and platform speaker. He is the author of the best selling book, The Ultimate Gift, which is a major motion picture starring James Garner and Abigail Breslin. He is also author of The Ultimate Life and The Ultimate Journey, which have inspired another major motion picture to be released September 2013. Steve Forbes, president and CEO of Forbes magazine, says, “Jim Stovall is one of the most extraordinary men of our era.” For his work in making television accessible to our nation’s 13 million blind and visually impaired people, The President’s Committee on Equal Opportunity selected Jim Stovall as the Entrepreneur of the Year. He was also chosen as the International Humanitarian of the Year.
Some of this was interesting. Some of it felt kind of overdone. I don't mind seeing the good in people and extrolling their talents, but when you know the rest of their story then it becomes harder to appreciate and the motives involved in their 'success'. The author was and is an interviewer who clearly enjoys his work. He is blind which hasn't held him back. He extolled the perceived good he saw in his interviewees. Clearly he has been inspired by some. I have mixed feelings about those he interviewed, but still I gained insight about some famous people and some I didn't know so well. I hope always to learn from any book that I read and I learned from this one. I was drawn to this book because I enjoyed the movie "The Ultimate Gift" which is taken from one of Jim Stovall's novels.
