A young man, grieving his father, turns to his grandfather for solace and guidance. The result is a guidebook on the perseverance necessary to make it through life. When I first picked up this book years ago I needed its message but I never dreamed how much more it would resonate with me in the years to come. This is a book I plan to pick up and read again and again. It is easy to read and the message is summed up in the title, but as with many simple things it is the hardest thing to learn. Pic...more
Why is life so hard? One of life's toughest questions. Joseph Marshall responds in ways that are illustrated by moving stories that don't take the pain away but help a person to look for the lessons in the journey of life.
This is a wonderful book to read, especially in today's tough times. The story is beautifully told and hopeful, which is what we all need at times -- hope.
I loved this book. The stories have stayed with me and I think of them often when I am facing something difficult. I will definatly read again and again.
A nice book on keeping your chin up when things knock you down. Told through the tales of Native Americans it is a great read about leadership.
A book about dealing with loss and grief. Good messages but nothing really new. Just not what I'm in the mood for at the moment.
Read this in one day. An awesome book from the wisdom of the Lakota tribe's Joseph Marshall III.
Excellent book and one to keep near on the bed table! Excellent writer and storyteller.
whenever i am feeling down, i just pick up this book and i am lifted. this book is amazing!!!!
Another quick read. This book restates what many other books have said; just from the perspective of a Lakota.
this book had sat on my bookshelf for a long time. but in March 2010, my Mother passed away. and for some reason i was pulled/drawn to this book.
many passages in "Keep Going" deeply touched my heart.
thank you, Joseph Marshall.

Good stories, a mythos that kept me going in the pursuit of my truth.
It carries with it...Quiet wisdom. I recommend it.
Favorite quotes from the book so far:
"When the storm blows hard you must stand firm, for it is not trying to knock you down, it is really trying to teach you to be strong."
"And always remember that anything that causes the shadow is smaller than the source of the light."
(page 16)
"Strength that comes from adversity does not weaken in the face of adversity." (page 61)

This book has great stories included in the overall story and they have great messages. I think between this and others Marshall has probably moved up to be my favorite author.
Looking forward to the comforting words of hope from this book. How to view adversity, not as an affliction, but to make oneself strong against the storm.
This book has brought nothing but a new sense of hope to me. I am currently re-reading it because once I again I find myself lacking of perseverance.
I was hoping for more from this book. It had some good stories in it, but wasn't engaging and enlightening as I'd hoped.
I have the hardcover.
Inspirational - regardless of your belief system.
