3 1/2 stars for this surprising gem, my daughter bought at a thrift store intending to make into an art project - I had her give me the inside book pages (she kept the hard cover for her art project). It was a VERY quick, easy read, a cool motivational story. I liked the premise that it's of a coach on the verge of retiring, one who has already been a great influence on many lives, but who realizes he has some tweaking to to, and some important things yet to do. I love that quote by Mark Twain, and the idea that finding out your "WHY" you were born is how YOU control your destiny.

This book is a wholesome pick-me-up. I appreciate the way the authors weave in anecdotal messages in a way that’s not preachy. The plot was a bit predictable, but it didn’t stop me from completing it. I would recommend this read for young adults transitioning from high school into “the real world”, it has a lot of wisdom to offer.

Short, a bit cliched and simplistic, but packs a punch and has an important message…
