I had the honor of interviewing Mr. Lunn on my weekly radio program. In preparing for the show with him, I found myself feeling like Frank knew me. Like he was talking to me about my life and the issues of life that are important to me.

In my experience with interviewing many men and women who inspire and encourage people to live to their fullest potential, I felt a special connection to the approach Mr. Lunn presents. It is based on the reality that living a successful life requires dedicated participation. That life is never predictable and how to be prepared for such moments. The language of the book is down to earth, enormously inspiring and it makes so much sense. This book makes for an excellent gift to someone you care about who could use a shot of practical optimism.

It is my opinion that this is one self help book that literally is for anybody and everybody. Plus it is coupled with a high humanitarian cause that you can feel very good about getting involved with. Don't stop with reading the book, visit his website (www.stackthelogs.com) where you may find yourself inspired to help in his mission to help children who are in a fight for their lives.

Stack the logs is a powerful, heartwarming, inspirational book on how to achieve what you believe even amid adversity in your life. It shows how to take the negative and turn it into postitive results. I highly recommend this book and the bonus is, it will not only help you in your goals and achievements, but purchasing this book helps St. Jude help others. Frank demonstrates how to keep moving forward and his inspiration is multigenerational, with the story of both his father's illness and words of encouragement, and the illness of his son. Don't miss this one!

Frank Lunn's book,Stack The Logs, reminds the reader of just how much we are capable of doing in this world - not just for our selves but also for others. The information is powerful, clear and pleantiful. Many authors tickle your fancy with brief suggestions but you come away from their books feeling that they had more secrets to tell. This book is genrous and detailed but it is an easy read and it inspires you to take action.
I had the honor and privledge of meeting the author when he appeared at Book Expo America in Chicago. Frank is the real deal. A hard working, kind and generous person who has learned many lessons and wants to share those powerful experiences with others. His story and the story of his son's recovery are inspirational and I share his desire to support the Mission of St. Judes. A significant portion of the proceeds of every book sold is donated to this very worthy cause. Join Frank is his quest to change the world for the better.

~The Rebecca Review

Frank Lunn has written a book that is essentially a compendium of the success and motivational literature. Written against the backdrop of his son's battle with cancer, Lunn's advice has a strong ring of truth to it. Practically every aspect of this literaure is here - goal setting, perserverance, relationships, etc. - but repackaged via Lunn's metaphor of Stacking the Logs, a bit of wisdom passed on to him by his late father. The STACK formula, with each letter standing for a component of Lunn's version of the success formula, is again a re-hash of what has already been published and covered, from as far back as Napoleon Hill to todays gurus like Brian Tracy. Nevertheless, if you haven't been exposed to this type of material before, Lunn's work is a solid summary, and occasionally an insightful expansion, of the principles generally found in success literature. Additionally, Lunn's writing has a warmth to it, often heightened by his overt willingness to be fair on all issues, and the obvious challenge of writing about his son's cancer and relating this personal struggle to his STACK approach. This book is a good starting point for anyone interested in delving into success literature.

Stack The Logs: Building A Success Framework To Reach Your Dreams by entrepreneur and marketing expert Frank F. Lunn is a straightforward self-help guide for members of the business community in their dealings with adversity by making their life choices one at a time. From learning to keep tight control over one's fear; to accurately defining success for oneself; to tips for dealing with disappointment and laying firm plans, Stack The Logs offers solid, accessible, rational, effective guidelines which are directly applicable to both business concerns and personal life issues.

While the concept is decent, it is obvious that the thought processes are the same as some of the better known names in this field.

It appears that Mr. Lunn has just recycled the well known concept of "If at first you don't succeed, try try again."

If you can grasp that concept then you have saved yourself the price of this book.
