Silver Spoon: The Imperfect Guide to Success

by Bennie Fowler

Have you ever watched a dog, out for a morning walk, who's just spotted a squirrel? The dog immediately springs forward to pursue his catch. He is restricted, not by his own instincts, but by a force he didn't know existed; his harness, his owner's restraint.

When our dreams become real to us, fear, doubt, and adversity often collar our ambitions. Like the dog, we want to keep after that squirrel until we catch it, but how can we break free from the restraint of mediocrity, and endure the anxieties and insecurities that come with the chase?

In Silver Spoon: The Imperfect Guide to Success, Bennie Fowler shares stories that will help you overcome what's holding you back. You'll hear from Bennie and other professional athletes like Draymond Green, Julius Thomas, Darqueze Dennard, and Demarcus Ware, as well as entrepreneurs and employees, on how they rose to the occasion when adversity struck. You'll gain a better understanding of yourself and be motivated to implement the daily practices you learn from these top performers.

[Mike Rooney · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed Silver Spoon: The Imperfect Guide to Success. Silver Spoon is about much more than football, although Bennie uses great players such as Payton Manning as examples of success and leadership. Bennie makes his points concisely and entertainingly. It’s a good book, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Silver Spoon is a success story, and it’s a fun read.

[Reid · Rating 3 out of 5]

A motivational kick-starter that would be most useful for young people looking to discover processes and habits requisite for success. Somewhat generalized and lacking a path or blueprint to use as a guide, but entertaining and positive as well. I enjoyed it.

A quick read but thoughtful and thought provoking. And appreciate understanding Bennie a bit better.
