What Makes You Great? is a deeply moving and inspirational book on the power of faith, love, forgiveness, and life. The author's approach to understanding who you are and why it matters keeps you turning the page. "You must never doubt your ability to achieve anything, become anything, overcome anything, and inspire everything." is a quote from the book that is really at the soul of the book. What Makes You Great? provides a unique understanding of how to walk out your faith and carry your cross, one day at a time, in the most empowering ways. This book provides insight and clarity to the importance of self-reflection. It is brilliantly written to encourage conversation, walk out your faith, and-mostly importantly-to point people to the kingdom of God.
The book was written as a guide to mentor, to inspire others who can create an opportunity for themselves, to follow their dreams while strengthening their faith. We are here so our light can shine. We never know who we are meant to inspire. We are the salt and light of the world. We lead and do not follow.
What makes you great? By Tasha Hoggat is full of good suggestions to the reader to make them feel better about themselves. Many of the suggestions are ones that most readers will have heard of before, but none-the-less the readers looking for suggestions will find the collection, undoubtedly useful. I found the triple spacing in the book created an environment that led my mind to wander off topic. This made the text somewhat boring. The format of the book seemed a bit disorganized, as the lists were embedded in the text and not set off by bullets or in their own space. It is nice to see the worksheet. Self help books do best when they provide readers with tools.
The short book could benefit from a good editor as there are typos and other problems with sentence structure. With such a small book I was surprised to see the glaring errors. It is disturbing when an author does not tell us where her degrees are from. I would like to know a bit more about her credentials.
I won this book through the Goodread's First Read Program. I would like to thank the author for the opportunity to review her book.
What a terrific book. I have always wanted to read a book like this. The topics were right on point. Not to give away the book.. The questions that were asked, I never really hear anyone, speaking that direct. I like it. Someone to push yourself to change and make a difference in your life, you need someone to say it like it is. Thank you for letting me read the book. I will definitely tell everyone I know. When you have a motivational meeting, include me.
I have read many motivational books over the years. They are always a nice turn too I need that extra push. I enjoyed reading this book. It is to the point. I give advice that I can relate too. It gives me the courage to continue to follow my dreams even if I get discouraged. I particularly like the chapter on association. It was well written. Thank you very much. I will keep this book.
This is a great self-help book. This book is not long like most self help books I have have read. It is short and too the point. It is like a guide that you can keep in your purse. I share it with everyone I know. If you know what makes you great already, that is good. But for me, it was a great reminder. I loved it. This is an excellent read.
This is a short but simple book. I enjoyed the simplicity and to the point aspect of the book. I will use some of the points stated. I really loved the positive message.
The writer is really a great speaker. This is why I bought the book. The book is very organized. It is really a guide. I would love to see her speak again.
I've never read one of these "look on the bright side"/self-help sort of books before. Reading this book made me a little sad because let's be honest, being teenager isn't a very happy thing. I think this book could help a few people but I guess I've just heard these same things over and over again that it just doesn't really work on me. It was intriguing to see how the word "god" wasn't capitalized in the book but I'm not very religious so it didn't affect me too much but I do go to a Catholic school so I wasn't quite used to seeing that.
