Reviews

[Rob Veenstra · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another solid work by Sheehan. More closely related to ‘Personal Best’ than it is to ‘Running & Being’ - Sheehan emphasizes his most meaningful beliefs and valuable memories, while incorporating his usual philosophical wit. Anyone looking for inspiration and understanding as to the value of running, and not just “working out”, will delightfully enjoy this chapter of Sheehan’s writing.

“…the 11th commandment is - Don’t’ bury your talents”

“Each of us is born to be a success. Somewhere things went wrong. Somewhere we lost sight of who we were and what we could do. We became consumed either with ambition and anxiety or boredom and depression. We had been changed from being generalists who knew the world into specialists who knew only a small part.”
