May 17, 2021I enjoyed reading this book. The author was very knowledgeable of the subject matter as evidenced by incorporating personal experiences and providing examples that the readers can relate to. I can say that for many years I was stuck in my comfort zone which led to stagnation. A major shift in my mindset has changed my life in many ways. I've used the S.M.A.R.T. model as a case manager to help individuals. I love this quote from the author, "I refuse to allow a person's prejudice, perception, stereotype, or even popular opinion define who I am, or dictate my behavior. If a person has a problem with me...they have the problem!" I learned to except me for me; my flaws, corrections, learning experiences, etc. That's their issue. So this information is something that I could relate to. If you're looking for a read to improve areas of your life, give this book a try.

Solid guidance
This was a good read, I had a hard time with the first half of the book. I’m not positive if that was just me in my own way or the directions Kevin spoke in. I’m some instances I felt we were going in circles and the covering previously read information but the last half of the book hit a home run! Great work. Well worth the time!
