Den var gratis så läste den i guess men tre tankar
1. Girl jag har typ adhd o blev grovt provicerad av att allt skulle handla om mindset ahhhhhhh
2. Den sa inte så mycket alls, men kanske va bra i guess, väldigt präst som predikar core så att det sätter sig o man ba okej då
3. Djupt latestage capitalism esque, liksom varför i hela friden ska man behöva ha en självförverkligande dröm egentligen det ärrrrrr sån bullshit!! usch allt jag vill är att födas in i ett yrke o sen inte behöva tänka påt.

Anyways, ska se hur fan det går, vem vet jag kanske lyckas life hacka mig ur mina adhd symptom nu hahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaahhhhhh

Okej en sak va bra tips o det var ba vision board grejen det är trevligt o gö såna o också ta det jobbigaste först på dagen, det behövde jag typ höra, men sen också, typ ba repetition av va folk sagt till mig genom alla 100 år av prokrastinering osv osv osv osv

Motivated to Continue seeking my wildest dreams

I like the fact that the author used example of people we can confirm there success in real life.
I like that their historical background were used to inform where they started from in comparison to where they are not.
It's a great motivational read for anyone who thinks or feels they are not better than other successful people.
Thank you 💝💝

Because I read a great deal about motivation, I have heard all of these ideas before. They are vague and offer no steps to increase motivation or persistence. The author gave thumbnail sketches of people who have made significant contributions after starting poor and overcoming obstacles. I didn't feel this added to helping anyone get things done. These were vague generalities of dubious value.

I am very delighted to read this book. It’s straightforward and feels like someone is talking to you in a friendly mentoring way. Despite of the page numbers, it can be deep and takes time for me to read. A very good read!

Good information but very short.

Great tips to achieve your goals:
- Don't be afraid of small beginnings
- Have a vision
- Focus on what you want to achieve
Your past don't determine your future.
