Book Review Of AN ALL-CONSUMING DESIRE TO SUCCEED

There were several things about this book which set it apart from the usual 'feel good' motivational books. I found "An All-Consuming Desire to Succeed" so personal. It was interspersed with snippets and advice from the author's own Life. He shares with his readers how he motivates himself, how he starts his day with the same prayer he has said for years. His sharing it with us was a peek at his soul and it was touching. I also loved that he used quotes from famous and/or successful people to illustrate his points. Many authors start their chapters with a quotation from someone they admire, whether famous or obscure. But John takes it a big step further. He illustrates his opinions with quotes AND back-stories about people who have been successful in their Lives, revealing things most of us never knew about them. The thread woven throughout is that everyone goes through adversity until that moment when you realize what you have to do, how focused you have to be, how passionate you need to be about your goals. That paves the way for the break-through to success.

In addition to prayer (my own), I found that reading a few pages of "An All-Consuming Desire to Succeed" started my day off on a positive note. No matter how positive you feel your Life is, everyone will be motivated to move their compass needle a few ticks into the positive zone
