The Rescue

More than words of motivation or inspiration, this book shines a welcomed light into the tiniest of dark corners, revealing the Path up and out. The Soul, extending a Ladder to climb into the Light.

Honest reflections and thoughts that helped the author.

I really was hoping this book would help me, but it may have helped the author more than anyone. Maybe it will help later after another pass? Good books are capable of lingering towards inspiration if it’s any good. This book is advice well told, but it gives reflections more than direction, which is what an eager reader looks for when looking for books like this. To be fair, it’s possible that no book on how to make your life better, or how to get unstuck in life or career, truly helps. At its best, it can bring about a conversation in you, but the choices are your own and it won’t give you the map you hoped for. This is merely a book on what helped Chase, the author, and the reader is glad Chase found himself. But now that the reading is over and Chase’s light has twisted into smoke, the reader, pleased for Chase, is left in the dark.

Just what I needed to hear

Chase Jarvis' style of storytelling and coaching has always resonated with me. He pulls in wisdom from wildly varied sources, cites data from far reaching disciplines, then synthesizes and shares the information in an easy to understand, aspirational way that makes it easy to apply to your own life. Never Play It Safe will definitely be on my short-list of books to regularly re-read. Thanks Chase!

Great for entrepreneurs taking the next step!

I love how listening to this confirmed I was doing a lot of things right by listening to my gut. It’s so easy to allow societal pressure to make you feel like you just need to work. This book allows you to think maybe that path isn’t right and maybe adjust your attention. Definitely recommend this book!

Good book - nothing groundbreaking here!!

It was good listen for some inspiration!! The tools and leverage mentioned are from the same subset you will get on this theme anywhere on internet!!
