Chris Guillebeau, NYT bestselling author: "These unconventional stories from globetrotter Kola are fun and inspiring."

One day, I had an idea. What if my entire life was centered on making a difference and doing work I love?

So rather than engage in occasional or random acts of kindness, my life was a life of service. And rather than drudge through eight hours of work every day, I could earn my living from doing work that I actually enjoyed.

This single idea sent me on a journey that has spanned 5 years, 12 countries, 86 YouTube videos, and countless boxes of Chinese food. STORY STORY is a funny, lighthearted, yet provocative book about finding passion, taking risks, having faith, and all the unexpected lessons learned along the way.

STORY STORY is not a “how-to” guide.

It is an example, a companion, a friend even, for any young adult that has ever dreamed of making a difference in the world or doing work that is personally exciting and meaningful.

Good but simple story.

May 3, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I enjoyed the story, I went hm the boon fairly quickly as it is an easy to read book.

Don't misunderstand my 3 stars tho, the book is nice, there are just some flaws that for me, take out those 2 stars.

First of all, to this day I have no idea who the author is. And unless I Google her, I would have no idea. No mention of what she does to this day in the book. Which is a great game for me, since the whole book is a story of how she got to that point.

Also, it is a bit too general, I didn't know what to expect from the book, and didn't get what I was looking for, since in no point she clarified it.

Non the less is an enjoyable book if you know her, and you know what the book is really about.

A most unusual book, which is why I chose to download it. I really enjoyed it. I like the goal of the author, and I found the story of her journey to reach that goal very informative and entertaining. She is very open about her failures and modest about her successes, which is very endearing. The simple, honest treatment of her story is well worth reading if you are at all interested in the subject. I recommend her writing, it is intelligent and clear, she wants no time with unnecessary waffle!

Somewhat inspiring story, but...

November 16, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I would say that this young lady has a somewhat inspiring story to share, but this "story story" will have more impact to younger readers. The author aspires to be a writer, and hopefully her writing style matures with time. She has a "can-do" attitude that is to be admired, but many of her decisions reflect her young age and older readers will find difficult to relate to. I'd be interested in seeing where this young lady's aspirations take her.

A quick an easy ready from new author Kola. Her story sounded like the character from Americanah at first, a successful blogger. She has some very great potential comparable to Chimanda Ngozie Adichie. I hope to read more of her books, with a little more depth however.

I recommended it to all my grandchildren. Kola mirrored the thinking of most people I knew in college. At least you realize other folks are going through the same process whether they admit it or not.

I loved this book! I cried, smiled, whooped, clapped with every inspiring story. The author is an inspiration to anyone who struggles on a daily basis to find their passion in life. As she stated a number of times, "Sometimes we don’t find our passion; our passion finds us". I am amazed that she has accomplished so much in such a short time. Looking forward to reading more from Ms. Olaosebikan!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! The writer used her humor and personal encounters to basically inspire anyone who desires to make a difference in this world. I believe life is not about just being alive, but living. Authentic living is not about you, but for the well being of others. She hilariously inspired us to keep pressing even when there's clearly obstacles. I will definitely have my 13 year old son read this as a part of his personal growth. Well done Kola!

A good account of a self-admitted type-A personality intent on her goal of making her passion her life's work. Nicely done detailing of the adventure.
