Through uplifting stories, parables, and personal anecdotes, the authors invite readers to become passionate communicators, leaders, and performers whose lives radiate possibility into the world.

It reframed my thinking about how much of my thinking could be reframed.
There's plenty of the “just do it” mentality of being able to accomplish anything within this book. It is all about embracing the possible, after all. However, it also acknowledges the hard things that you must overcome in order to find the possibilities. The lessons in this book are about reframing situations and acknowledging that it's not always easy. There are counter forces at play—within us and within others.
It will take many years of practice to make use of these lessons, but I'm grateful to be starting now.
