5.0 out of 5 stars The Nicest Way of Expressing What We All Kinda Know, February 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Self Creation: 10 Powerful Principles For Changing Your Life (Paperback)

I read Yvonne Brown's book and thoroughly enjoyed it. But more, in the back of my mind I always sort of knew the things she's talking about here are right on. Nevertheless, I never conceived a way of overcoming obstacles toward articulating it.

This book, her book, overcomes those obstacles brilliantly. Ms. Brown gives a very endearing account of her "American Dream" growing up outside of the USA, and as children do grow up, her way of persevering toward a goal is at least inspiring. I cheered her at each step of the way on toward her achievements, as she relates them, and secretly thanked her for her candor in her descriptions of them.

At a minimum, what we have in this book is a heartfelt and quite entertaining account of how a Jamaican immigrant has the American Dream better than most born Americans have it.

In total, it's a great account of one person's ways toward spirit overcomes any most thing. I like her ways, and it's a very cool book.

Yvonne has a "Podcast" up on her Web site where she reads a few anecdotes from the book. I really think you'll enjoy these, and maybe the even give a bit of insight into the author, and where she's coming from.

Happy listening (and reading more) :-)
