This review is from: All Things Are Possible: Those Who Say It Cannot Be Done Are Usually Interrupted by Someone Else Doing It (Paperback)

Reading this book showed clearly how the author's formula of Courage, Creativity, Persistence, and Desire can be applied to achieve almost anything. Ollie Adelman shares stories of how he learned the lessons and how he applied them, with fascinating results.

My husband will be buying copies to distribute to his sales staff.

Personalities about whom the author shares stories include Lynn Waldorf, the nearly legendary coach of Northwestern University Football in the late 1930's, Architects Frank Lloyd Wright and Edward Durell Stone, President Gerald Ford, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, Father Hessberg of Notre Dame, Artist Marc Chagall, designer Ralph Lauren, and many more.

The book is easily readable and fast-paced, laced with humor and humility. I loved it.
