Max Cleland's second book, Going for the Max - like his first, Strong at the Broken Places - is a tribute to the courage and heroic life of a great American, soldier, and public servant. Full of quotations and personal revelations and showing the vast range of Cleland's learning and beliefs, this book is a must read for those who wander through life with fear and doubt as companions. Clear, concise, inspirational, and powerful, Going for the Max presents the authors direct, down-to-earth, hard won philosophy on how to turn weakness into strength and fear into courage. If you're looking for a book to motivate you, this is it. Read it, and "Press On"!

This review is from: Going for the Max!: 12 Principles for Living Life to the Fullest (Hardcover)

has written one of the best motivational books I have ever read. After reading "Strong At The Broken Places" by the same author, I found myself wondering how he found the will and strength to persevere despite great odds. I found the answer in this book.

Within these pages are nuggets of gold for the mind and soul. Whatever is troubling you or whatever your problem, you are sure to find something in this book that will hit a nerve. Max Cleland's life is an absolute tribute to the indomitable power of the spirit in mankind. Quite simply this is a remarkable book by a remarkable man.

What an inspiration to read! Within our toughest times between work, family, health or loss we have so very much to be Thankful for each and everyday! This book should be a must read from teens who say they are depressed and troubled or to that individual whos outlook on life is grim, we have so very much to be thankful for. This book truly has impacted my spirit in a positive profound way! I have since purchased all of Max Clevends books!

Thank you Max Cleveland for all that you have done, the sacrifices you have made, and the positive thoughts and life sharing you have written down for us to do better and be more with our lives and Thank You to all our Veterans and their families. Bless them all!!!!
