"Tony Robbins narrating his own book should immediately let you know this book will provide you with inspiration, and tons of it! This book centers around positivity and speaks on the power that being positive holds. My only problem with this title is that certain chapters ask that you have a pen and paper for certain activities but being a person who listens to audiobooks driving on the way to work made this difficult, and going back to that specific moment in the book on this app is a hassle. Besides that, a fantastic read! "
