If you like Terry Bradshaw, you'll love this book. It's as though he is spekaing to you directly with litle or no editing to make it read like a novel. It's a quick entertaining book with a lot of humor and common sense. It's worth the read.

I worked over-night at an amusement park for security. For 6 hours a night, I would read. I bought about every book in the store that existed, so I had to settle for this one. I hate Terry Bradshaw.

Well, I used to hate him. :) This book opened up my eyes. It was the only book I ever really loved, in the 6 months I had that job. I've read it twice now, and I'm sure number 3 is on its way! Read this book!! You don't need to be a football fan, as there is very little about football in here. It's educational and motivational. Definately worth the money!

Wow! This is an amazing book! As soon as I finished it, I started it again. Every human being needs to read this. It doesn't matter if you are a football fan or not, there is valuable information here that will make you a better person for having read. The man has an awesome sense of humor, and has lead a very exciting life. There is so much to him! His book the year before, "It's Only A Game" is also excellent reading. I can not think of any type of person who would not benefit from the words of wisdom contained within this book. Furthermore, this will do away with any misguided notions relating to his lack of intelligence. You are reading it here people - the man is brilliant. Check it out and see if I'm not right on this!

In this book, Terry Bradshaw recyles some of his stories from his book/audio "It's only a Game." The book is simple and repetitive but still contains some of the Bradshaw humor. It incorporates what he says when giving his motivational speeches at business functions. I enjoyed it for light recreational reading, but probably would not have purchased it if it hadn't been discounted.

"We are all searching for the same thing: a hand to hold and heart to understand...Keep it simple. Smile a lot. Be nice to other people.... Life is a joy. (8)" This quote pretty much sums up the attitude of Terry Bradshaw's Keep it Real.
The tone in which he gives the theme is just amazing. It got me attached right off the bat. I might have been attached to this book because I love the game of football. Well, first off, that's why I got the book. I went to the public library, saw that ugly, bald guy who I have to tolerate when he broadcasts the Saint's games, and I got it. I got it simply because I like football, not Terry Bradshaw, and I wanted another sports book to read, hoping it would fuel me in the sports I play. This book brought a lot more out of me besides the motivation I was looking for to help me with baseball. It made me realize that I can connect to Terry Bradshaw in many ways. He is not afraid to tell the readers what he is bad at and isn't scared to state the mistakes he made. Many people today, especially when writing a book about themselves, talk about their triumphs and maybe a few of their failures, hiding the ones they are embarrassed about. Terry simply lays it all out for the reader. He did not belong on TV because he was terrible at broadcasting and making commercials. He was not the smartest man alive. He talks too much. He is tremendously struck with attention deficit disorder. He failed three marriages. He is ugly. Last but definitely not least is that he paid for two ostrich eggs that costed him 7,000 bucks. I would not do my homework with Terry nor would I want to watch him broadcasting the NFL games on Sundays.
There is more I learned about Terry than who to auction a pair of ostrich eggs to. I learned that he is a tremendous motivational speaker. His insight on many aspects of life had me thinking. He used his failures and turned them into life changing experiences. Terry knew what he was good at and stuck to it. He was a hell of a football player and now is a tremendous motivational speaker. That is how he shines. Well, he also shines because he is balding in the front, but most people can see him shine through his insights. His ideas on being a genuine person flourish. When he begins the book by asking to hug the closest person to you and smile the best you ever smiled, you know that you are in for a treat. He was asking for a smile at the beginning of the book and once you got into the book, he didn't even have to ask anymore. His humorous stories, such as the ostrich eggs I mentioned earlier, just kept me smiling. In many of his chapters that covered surviving love, financial problems, the value of teamwork, and overcoming failures Terry offers the simple lessons he has learned through his friends, family, and faith.
In conclusion, I believe that Bradshaw's insight on life is a must read for those who have the same problems as him. Terry Bradshaw is now the man and I have everybody thinks the same. Keep it real.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, lots of laughs and an easy read! I highly recommend it!

I thought Keep It Simple was excellent. I like the way that Terry Bradshaw seems not to take himself seriously. He appears to be very involved with his daughters. That is really to his credit since a lot of fathers tend to not be involved in their children's lives after a divorce. I wish the best for Terry in the future.

Book was exactly as info stated. Excellent condition. Impressed with fast service (especially noting it was the busy Christmas season). Have not read book yet, but glancing thru, I know I will be pleased.

I checked this book out from the local library on a lark and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am not a huge football fan or a Terry Bradshaw fan, but I laughed a lot while reading this book. A friend of mine told me his doctor recommended it for stress relief (laughter as medicine) and I can understand why. If you like football even a little bit, or Terry Bradshaw just a little bit, you should enjoy reading this.

This was a great book about Terry Bradshaw's life. I really enjoyed reading it. It touched on his life as a Pittsburgh Steeler, his failed marriages & the great love for his kids. Good reading.
