Summary

Audie Award Finalist, Personal Development, 2014

Reknowned speaker, educator, author, activist and minister, Eric Thomas is rising to national prominence by delivering a high energy message that tells youth through first hand experience how to live up to their full potential and greatness and by breaking the cycles of crime, hopelessness and despair that many face daily. Known for his engagingly personal approach, his messages are both dynamic and inspiring. When coupled with his own cycle-breaking experience, his blunt essays on reality and remarkable ability to reach even the most jaded of minds, has helped thousands of youth nationwide become peak performers academically, spiritually and personally.

Eric has electrified audiences ranging from Fortune 500 companies to urban educators, collegiate athletic programs and inner-city youth development agencies with the message of his own life's struggles and the principles, insights and strategies he used to overcome them. Eric is no stranger to the ills that plague our communities as he was born in Chicago, IL and raised on the streets of Detroit, MI. His childhood and adolescent years were difficult, and his life struggles and personal identity issues were intensified because like so many, he did not establish a relationship with his biological father until his early thirties.

Poor

One of the worst books I've bought on Audible! I am a fan of Eric Thomas, but this book didn't encapsulate me, was very disappointed.

Enjoy the man's speeches better that his book. I just didn't feel it, it's very poorly organised and the ideas are all over the place! Perhaps he will get better with the second book.

Not safe for work or home

First two words in this book are “FUCK YOU!” shouted out loudly. Should be a warning for explicit content, very disappointed, my Wife and kids heard this. I was trying to introduce them to The Dr ET and this happened. Trying to repair the damage now

Not a motivation book

Was expecting this to be a motivational book but instead found a book that’s teaches that we are as good as we condition ourselves in our environments and head space.

Wow

The first audio book in a long time that I just couldn't put down. It was written as a story about Eric's real life, I loved the extra audio sounds that accompanied the listen - it made the book very fresh and wanting me eager to keep listening.

There are so many golden nuggets of truth in the book - listen for yourself. Definitely worth listening to more than once, perhaps at different stages of the year to glean wisdom that you can build upon.
