I love reading and listening to President Monson. This book was printed nearly 30 years ago and it was fantastic. Each of the chapters is just a short talk that he probably gave somewhere along the line. Several of the stories I was able to recognize from conference talks. I really like that fact that he can take every day happenings and relate them to gospel topics that apply to each of us.

Absolutely wonderful advice on being the best we can be - being our best selves. This book really spoke to my soul as I strive to draw nearer to God and to His Son, the Savior Jesus Christ. It has helped me improve the way I live my life.

An enjoyable book by an excellent example of a good LDS man. It was good to read his second book.

President Monson, or Elder Monson as he was called when he delivered all of these talks, is full of experience and wisdom. But he is a really bad writer. I think he's gotten better, but these talks are full of cliche, pith, and anecdote. A few talks I'll keep in reserve to reference later, but most are the same as a lot of his other talks.

Every time I read this book, I learn how to be a better me! Now I just have to practice what I read!!! Pres. Monson tells a story like no other. This book is filled with his amazing stories of life. This book is for anyone who wants to better themselves.

This is an excellent book. I feel that I've grown spiritually and emotionally from this book. I definitely feel like I've made some good goals to become a better "me."

The only warning about this book - you will choke up. Don't go reading it in public or people will worry about you. :) Love, love, love it.

His words are written like poetry. His stories everyone can relate to. He motivates you to do better, to be your best self.

I wanted to do the thing where I read a church book in-between other books but I'm not doing too well. I need a story line!

My Grandma gave this to me probably when I was around 12. I've read it multiple times. It's great.
