Have to say out of all the books I have start to read due to the life business this by far taught me the most. I always go in to a meeting and promote both Orrin and Chris. I happen to feel up to the challenge and read both Resolved and Rascal at the sametime and am so glad I did because when you combine the two they make on intense read. They complement each other so well that I swore up and down I wasreading one whenin fact I was on the other. Those two books are the best leadership textbooks...more

Leaders, People Who Want To Improve Their Lives
When I first picked up this book, I never realized what it meant to make a resolution. I had spent many New Years making resolutions only to break them sometime Mid-January and then not thinking anything of it until the next year.
Great historical leaders like George Washington and Ben Franklin made resolutions to improve themselves and continually worked on them. If we want to improve our lives, shouldn't we follow the example of those who exemplified what honor and leadership meant?

Most of us want the end result of being a man or woman of character living a successful life and basically living the life we've always wanted without the effort it takes to change to get to that level. This book walks you through those steps to get you to a level of leadership and success in your life that you never thought would be achievable. In fact, there are 13 steps/resolutions based on the some of the same resolutions that George Washington, Ben Franklin, and Jonathan Edwards resolved in...more
Next to the Bible, this is the most inspiring and comprehensive book I have ever read! Orrin Woodward is all about building up leaders in communities here in North America based on the principles and resolutions of some of the greatest Americans in our nation's infancy. And this is the most effective process I have seen yet - starting with private achievements: a hardcore, in-depth focus on four aspects of our lives that serves as our foundation. Next come the public achievements where people th...more
Amazing.. will read over and over.

this is not a casual read.. it is a life manual to live by.. for those interested in resolving to live a better life. My favorite chapter is on friendship. I do not ever see anything written elsewhere on how to have a fulfilling friendship on many levels. We are increasingly pulling away from friendships and replacing them with facebook, google other social networking and losing the face to face friendships we, as humans crave.. Orrin woodward put it so precisely... in this chapter alone one of...more
I loved this book and have read it twice now. I don't think that one can ever read this book enough. If you are looking to live a better life, I highly recommend this book to get you started down the right track of self development. There are so many great principles in this book that taught me how to live a better life. If we want a change in our life, we need to change something in our life. We can't fix our current problems with the same thinking that got us there. This book helps out with th...more

I loved this book, definitely one of the best books I have ever read! ! It's VERY informative, thought provoking, and life changing!! I wish I could pass one out to everyone I know. It's SOOOOO worth owning your own!

Here are the 13 Chapters or Resolutions taken from the book RESOLVED.
Orrin provides a list of 13 Resolutions, of which, the first 4 falls in the bracket of Private Achievements, the following four (from 5-8) falls in the bracket of Public Achievements, and the rest (from 9-13) falls in the bracket of Leadership Achievements.
1. Resolved: I resolve to discover my God-given purpose. I know that when my potential, passions, and profits intersect, my purpose is revealed.

The call to improve yourself through the important principles of life. Orrin's study of Benjamin Franklin and other historical American legends has given us readers a blueprint of the achievable better future! I love his work, but reader beware: it is a very dense and heavy read. Great needed information, but don't be surprised if you need to take it in small bites. This is the greatest way to find the best you!
This book is a masterpiece and a playbook for a successful and enjoyable life.
RESOLVED 13 Resolutions is my all-time favorite book and a great reference tool for helping others achieve the greatness they have within them. I HIGHLY recommend this to parents, couples and business leaders.

It's not a "light" read but will CHANGE your life!! FOR THE BETTER!! Orrin Wooward is an AMAZING leader and I have been blessed enough to meet this man personally on several occasions! He is so humble and down to earth! He is one of the top 10 leadership gurus in the WORLD! Just read it!
If you are looking for a book to fill a summer afternoon at the beach... This is not that book. If you are looking for a book which will help you become a better person... You've found it.
Well written. Incredibly well researched. Orrin Woodward hit it out of the park with this one.

This is a great book! I enjoyed it so much I read the entire book in 2 days. I have a fulltime job 3 kids & many extra activities, so that is very quick for me.
Orrin Woodward continuously inspires me to be the best I can be & to never give up. He's awesome :)

This book is life changing! Who doesn't want to grow and get better in every area of their life? Orrin does such a great job of breaking it down into bit size pieces, so we can lead our way to a better life. Don't just read it, live it, then give it!!!
Second Read: This book is even better the second time around. I read it this time as part of the Mental Fitness Challenge (www.getMFC.com), and at a chapter per week, it really gave me the opportunity to look at each resolution in more depth. As I said before, applied this book can change your life!

One of the most impactful books that I have ever read. Discussed chapter by chapter in small challenge group in my home. This book by Orrin Woodward was a catalyst for personal growth for me and so many of my friends! Highly recommend it.
A true life manual filled with timeless principles and current examples. To think of how different my life would have been had this been taught in school or been available and lived out by those closest to me. Thanks Orrin!
I really enjoyed reading this book while completing the Mental Fitness Challenge. Where was this information when I was in high school?!? These resolutions will be a part of me for the rest of my life.
This book is THE BEST book on Leadership that I have read. Orrin talks about the discipline it takes to be a true leader. It takes Resolve to become the man or woman God has called you to become.
This book is a must read for anyone who is willing to take an honest look at their life / circumstances and then "resolve" to make a change. This will be a book that I will read over and over again.
Astonishing, the principles we all should have and I think most of us had at one time or another. We all should read this book and realize how far off course we as a society have become
Loved the book! Great principles to live by. I believe that if we disciplined ourselves to live by the resolutions listed - current culture would be remarkably improved.
Excellent book on wisdom, relationships, thinking, growth, leadership, and so much more. Take time to go through this. It is a true difference maker and should be a classic.
This is a great book. Can be used in both personal and professionally. A book to use for your life study and I will be reviewing and applying each year. It is that good.
Life changing book. No library should be without this timeless life manual.
Simply amazing.
Simply amazing.
Great principles to apply to your life! Live like the Founders of our country had intended!
Must read for anyone who wants to seriously improve any area of their lives.
Best book I have read in a long time. It has changed my life for the better.
Awesome book, gets back to what is missing in peoples lives today.
