review 1: If this would have ended at about 20 chapters in, it would have been far better. Like this, it just feels dragged on unnecessarily. Some nice points though, such as:"The way you choose to see the world — and life — is ultimately how the world and life will be for you.""People like people who like themselves." "By playing other people’s games you’re playing by other people’s rules. If you have to play a game, play it with yourself—constantly set new goals for yourself and once you achieve the mark, do not hesitate to extend it a little further. And do not be deterred by the detractors who criticize or make fun of you out of envy, do not let them stymie your continual application. Press forward regardless of what others are apt to say. ""Take the time to see how ... morespecial each building, each gargoyle, each marvel of modern architecture truly is." "For after all, the best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow"
review 2: I found this an enjoyable quick read about Lorenzo's discovery of photography and himself as he struggles through a separation from his wife and handles being away from his two boys. I enjoyed this book, not so much for his philosophy (I disagree with the "my happiness comes first" philosophy.) but more for how he sees creatively and some of his late night adventures. There were also some nuggets around enhancing your creativity to be gleaned as well. I was disappointed that the Kindle Version of the book did not include the pictures (that I'm guessing the paperback version did). less
