Reviews

This book is phenomenal. It covers a wide range of topics and approaches to self-development offering tips, tactics and perspectives that are both helpful and practical. It is a compilation of diverse voices, viewpoints and backgrounds. There is something for everyone and rarely will you see so many great leaders in the human potential field all in one book. It weaves wisdom, insight, guidance, life lessons and interesting, colorful glimpses into the various authors' lives. The chapters are deliciously bite-sized with groups of them supporting one of the four areas of focus, Awareness, Growth, Action, and Impact. The book is well organized and the content not only holds your attention but leaves you with proven tools you can use for a lifetime. Highly recommend. - Andrew J. Norman
This book was hard to put down! I loved that the ideas were well organized, and each section was followed by relatable questions. Each contributing writer shared personal experiences and valuable insights that would knock anyone's complacency off of the shelf! Mine included. I loved the variety of experiences that would touch different people uniquely. Leonard D. DeCarmine employed sound concepts and provides multi-dimensional motivation. Read the e-book and getting the printed book to keep the workbook-like aspect at hand on my bookshelf. - Mary G.
I recently purchased a wonderful book 1% more by Leonard DD Carmine. This is not your ordinary group of authors, and I was especially taken by chapter 14 by Alicia Thorpe. She has gone through life experiences that would have ground others down until she learned life lessons that show how each of us has the inborn power to alter our lives in a positive manner. This is a great light to shine for everyone.
Another outstanding chapter 18 by Becky Norwood. Her story is very profound and comes from real-life experiences that show no matter how bad what happens to us in life, if we don't except others' negative opinions, we can overcome and prosper.
This book 1% more lives up to its name if you are not on your right path and living towards God, that is your choice. But remember at any time you have the power to alter your life's path. Just do 1% More. This is the wonderful truth that you will find throughout this book.-Tom Loegering, Chairman, Golf Program in Schools (GPS)
The focus of this book is on eliminating self-limiting beliefs and behaviors. It proposes a path to personal transformation through self-awareness, personal growth, and taking actions that will impact your future. It breaks these principles up into chapters, and the 24 authors each contribute supporting work toward that common narrative. Each chapter ends with questions for self-reflection, similar to a workbook. The only commonality among the authors is self-titling themselves as coaches, each claiming to have a unique approach. They come from a diversity of education, backgrounds and life paths. Most had a life-changing trauma that they worked through by applying what they preach.
The chapters are short, clear and concise. That formula makes for a quick read for what could otherwise appear to be a daunting book with over 300 pages. Once the reader moves past the shallow capitalistic narrative equating "success" with wealth, business owners, entrepreneurs, and influencers (their target audience, perhaps?) The content becomes worthwhile. There are many opportunities for an epiphany or aha moment to take place for you in these chapters, but, as always, the responsibility for making changes in your life rests upon you. Perhaps this can put you on track, - David T.
