March 15, 2020I tend to read multiple books over the course of time. Rob Commodari's book, BETTER THAN YOU THINK was one that held my attention and strengthened me in doing an honest review of my own life...which is his goal...so thank you Rob.
It is written on an open and honest manner which challenged me to be equally forthcoming about my life experiences. Our life experiences were very different so his perspectives were somewhat new to me but they added to my own life's review rather than compete with it.
I recommend this book to you as a personal read or as a gift. I hope my children enjoy the book as much as I have and will come to realize that they are great people.

Came away energized and feeling positive after reading this book. The author does a great job of pointing out that awareness is the key to unlock great things in your life. For anyone who wants to have better relationships, more self-confidence, a greater appreciation for others, a more positive outlook or simply improved inner peace, I highly recommend this book. Commodari helps the reader to focus on what's important and shed the negativity that always seems to keep us down. I can't believe this is just his first book because he really knocked it out of the park! This book touched me in a meaningful way and I can't wait to read more from this fantastic author.

Better Than You Think is a book of profound messages and timeless wisdom.
Robert’s passion for helping others is generously displayed within each page.
This work is beyond personal development — it is a spiritual practice. In his uplifting and heartfelt poem “I AM ” the phrase “I am from all that life is,” says it all!

The author authentically lays his soul bare for the reader to share trials and triumphs in a genuine way. He is a man whose deep faith and tenacity to grow have served him to become a model of success in business, family and as a human being.
I give 4 stars only because I kmow that his next book will be an improvement on this one and I am saving a perfect score for that.one.
Well worth the time invested.

The author shares his own intimate life experiences so that we may learn from him. He encourages us to be grateful for our life and what it has offered us – good and bad. I cried a few times while reading this book as it makes you reflect on your own life (which I believe is the goal). His style of writing/encouragement reminds me of Dr. Wayne Dyer. I definitely recommend you read this book. I plan on rereading it.

Inspiring read by an inspiring author
This is an incredibly well written book about being more present in day to day life. The talented author using inspiring stories from his own life to show us how much better life is than we think.
Time spent reading this book and thinking about the issues it walks the reader through is time we’ll spent.

Such a wonderful, long anticipated book! I knew I was going to be in for a good read because I have immensely enjoyed hearing Rob speak on leadership and growth on many occasions. He did not disappoint! I enjoyed all the personal anecdotes and real world examples he used to get to the heart of the matter and help the reader truly gain life perspective. It truly is Better Than You Think.

An easy-to-read piece of work. I am glad that Rob took the time to have the courage to be vulnerable and share his life with the reader. I recommend this book to those who need a different perspective. Hopefully, Rob will pray and consider writing books in the future. God Bless. :)
