Honest and Earnest

An intriguing and honest look inside one of the original Gladiators and how a heart attack taught him to truly live. Dan is introspective and shares the lessons he's learned. I could relate on many levels with his "how could this happen to me" moments and found his insights on turning things around to be great advice.

Inspired!

An interesting, raw glimpse into Dan's physical and emotional struggles with mindful lessons on how to look at every day from a new perspective. I listened to the audio book and was pulled into every word as Dan is an incredible story teller. I was really feeling it, this could easily be my journey as well. I find myself thinking about the positive messages and strategies long after finishing the book. Loved it! I plan to buy several to hand out to my family and friends.

Enjoyable, Insightful, Useful

I really liked this closer, vulnerable look at Dan's life. I think it holds potential to reach a large audience to help change people's perspectives on their lives and make small improvements to enjoy each day. At times, the book reads a little bit like a self-help a book, but thankfully it lacks the structure many of those books do, instead using Dan's own experiences as his platform for reflection. Dan has made ideas like practicing gratitude especially accessible and provides resources to help. I listened to this all in one day, and it was a really lovely day. I plan to buy his other book as well.
