Hello, Book Lovers!
This is the very first book review I’ve ever written in my life.
It’s not that I haven’t read a lot of books before — I have — but I never really got into the habit of properly documenting my thoughts. This time, I did it right. I noted down what I liked, what stood out to me, and I genuinely hope it helps you too.
This is just a short review from my side — because to truly understand the magic of this book, you’ll need to read it yourself. And trust me, it’s worth it. You’ll find yourself reflecting on your life, your goals, and maybe even your definition of success.
The book is written by Bob Burg and John David Mann, and while I was researching books to read in 2025, I kept seeing this one recommended — on YouTube, blogs, and booklists. That’s when I finally decided to give it a try.
And I’m so glad I did.
So why did I love it?
1) It was entertaining.
It’s not just a book filled with motivational lines or lectures (which are fine too!), but this one brings more. It has a story that pulls you in — I got hooked, and I ended up finishing it in just one sitting.
2) The story is simple, yet powerful.
It’s about a guy who wants to be successful. He goes to meet someone for quick tips on how to achieve success fast.
Sounds pretty basic, right? But the way the story unfolds — little did he know (and little did we know) — it turns into something so much more.
3) It makes you think.
A good story and engaging characters already make a book great — but this one also makes you reflect. It challenges how we define success.
If you’re at a point where you’re trying to upgrade your life or redefine your goals, this book might just shift your mindset. It certainly made me pause, jot things down in my notebook, and look at life differently. Who knows — it might even change your life too?
This is just a small glimpse — I won’t spoil the full story — but I’ll definitely suggest you give it a read.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from the book. Maybe they’ll speak to you, too:
- “Go looking for conflict, and you’ll find it. Go looking for people to take advantage of you, and they generally will. See the world as a dog-eat-dog place, and you’ll always find a bigger dog looking at you as if you’re his next meal. Go looking for the best in people and you’ll be amazed at how much talent, ingenuity, empathy and goodwill you’ll find.”
- “Everybody can be successful because anybody can give.”
- “The secret to getting is giving. And the secret to giving is making yourself open to receiving.”
- “The most valuable thing you have to give people is yourself.”
