Reviews

[Jose · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very short book.
Takes less than 2 hours to read if you're a slow reader.
It reads like a commencement speech,
and it's content may as well be a commencement speech.
It is also an old book, the author met Abraham Lincoln.
As a commencement speech, this book was pretty good.

A quick read about the power of will, a classic from its generation though in this modern age this explanation already backed up with more scientific experiments on neurology.

[Patrick Dailey]

This book is indeed a short read. I would say that it takes 10, maybe 20 min to read this.

This book is but of the author rebutting what another has said.
