[Anil Swarup]

These are in a sense "rags to riches" stories of some celebrities that made a name and a lot of money for themselves as they fought against odds and emerged victors. There are indeed a number of lessons that one can derive from these successful men and women. There are some quotable quotes as well. The one from Soichiro Honda is quite a remarkable one: "Success can only be achieved through repeated failures and introspection". Oprah Winfrey "chose to focus on the good" amidst all that was collapsing around and in her. And Sylvester Stallone did not get deterred by the night that was at its darkest just before the dawn. All worthy examples to be emulated.

Writing is substandard, I think a professional writer might have done the job in a better way. Narration of events is also not good. Any way , it does the job of quick inspiration.😂 So if u r depressed , read it for quick motivation. I did enjoy it to some extent. 😂😂

Motivational Stories of Determination, Perseverance and Success by Kevin Johnson

📓Genre: Motivational Self-Help

Star: 🌟🌟

🔖This book is exactly what the title indicates. It's a book containing the inspiring life-stories of renowned personalities like Sylvester Stallone, J.K.Rowling, Abraham Lincoln, Oprah Winfrey and others.
🔖After a short introduction by the author regarding the need to stay motivated, the book directly shifts to the life-stories of several famous public figures.
🔖Each chapter consists of the detailed account of the person's struggles and hurdles which they each have faced with courage and determination, to finally become successful in their own respective fields.
🔖The true stories are undoubtedly inspiring, but I felt the book in totality felt more like a textbook on famous people. The author could've added some personal opinions and made the narrative more interesting.
🔖I always believe that a self-help book should be able to connect more with the reader on an emotional level, which in this case was clearly missing. Overall, it's a one-time read, good for bit of a light reading.

🔸Final verdict: Light-reading
🔸Book cover: Simple.
🔸Writing style: Could've been better.
🔸Character development: N.A. (based on real people)

Good read

The book shares an insight on some of the great Individuals of our time. Their life’s and the one thing that helped them keep going.
I guess it’s a brief biography Book of different legends.

A little more could have shared on how they came out of their struggles, in a way focusing on their hardships.

[Ameya Prakash]

Brilliant book for deriving Inspiration in Life

The book beautifully encapsulates the life stories of some of the legends which made a mark in the History.Short and concisely written the work boils down the idea of sheer determination and strong grit to transform one's life into a epitome of prosperity and fulfillment.

[Sunkararishitha]

The book with a lot of successful stories.The every chapter begins with struggle of a common man and end with a renowned man

It seems like a man does small thing and it makes big with practice and perseverance.I think in the second or third chapter the NBA player quote,In the road to greatness practice is essentially.i like the quote .

[Ritika Rana]

A night of self-doubt made me download this on my Kindle. This book is filled with short stories about the life of great people and adversities they had to face to finally reach at their pinnacle. Keep pushing forward is the lesson that comes out of the book. The writing was simple and easy to comprehend. I particularly liked Winfrey, Lincoln and Eminem's stories.

A short read about 10 famous personalities from different walks of life. How they face the challenges and how they overcome them is the crux of the book.
A one - time read for a quick boost of motivation.

Inspirational

It was a good read. Summarizing the lives of great people with their ups and down. But the summary here was so short that it missed important stages of the lives of people. How the decisions were made. It would have been better if it had a quote from them

[Anjan Chokshi]

These are small write up, but wonderful to read, which gives instant energy.

[Vaibhav Anand]

I would have never read this book, if it wasn't free with Prime Reading. It reads like something hurriedly compiled off Wikipedia/ the internet. Far too many grammatical and spelling errors to be a tolerable book. The only reason I managed to finish it is because I found the source material of some of the stories interesting.

Avoidable.

[Maryann Moffit]

Short

I actually was hoping for more. I read this in 15 minutes. not speed reading either. anything that short is not a book. sorry.
