review 1: THIS WAS THE BEST SELF-HELP BOOK EVER *_*Just knowing what Sean went through in his life, and where he is now, that by itself should make you Get Off Your Buts for good. This guy's bones break at the slightest pressure, he had felt that impossibly awful pain of broken bones on daily basis as a kid, not to mention the emotional scars that being a different child left in him. And yet, here he is, a motivational speaker! and not only that, but he worked in The White House, met some of the greatest people of his time, has a wife and generally has a great life.It all changed for Sean when he was in the fourth grade, excited for his Halloween costume and being a happy kid. When out of the blue he bumped and broke his femur by accident. In that moment he yelled out the one senten... morece that I'm sure every human being encounters at some point in his life, he yelled "WHY ME!", this impossible-to-answer question will haunt a person forever, but Sean's mother was there for him and she counters his question with one of her own "Is this going to be a gift or a burden?" and that was the point when he chose for it to be a gift, not only for himself but for everyone else.The truth is, we all come face to face with that question, and it often leaves us sitting there on our Buts for good, why was I born like this, or why did this happen to me. And the truth is very simple: everyone was born with certain challenges and gifts, talents and opportunities, there is no answer to the why. All we can do is use what we have, with the time we have on this Earth to create something beautiful with our lives, and this is exactly what Sean shows us how to do in 6 lessons.The lessons are to the point, accompanied with stories of inspirational people kicking back and fighting, and ending with an assignment to do. They are realistic and real, I found myself nodding every other page about how true his words were.This book is a life changer, and I will keep re-reading it again and again :')Peace :3
review 2: بالرغم إني تركت كتب التنمية البشرية منذ زمن طويل، ولم يكن جذّاب لي عنوانه إطلاقاً .. فالكتاب كان إقتراح من صديقة عزيزة بالتالي خططت لقراءة أول صفحاته و ترك الباقي في اليوم الذي يليه .. ولكن لم يمنحني أي فرصة للتوقف .. قصة شون قصة تحرّك المشاعر بالفعل، و اثّرن فيّ نفسي جداً مراحل معاناته .. كان الكتاب بعيد كل البعد عن الكتب التنمية البشرية التقليدية .. الكتاب يمهد إليك فكرة إنك تستطيع أن تصنع من آلامك حياة تستحق العيش .. في تجربة شون الذي طالما احب الحياة ومافيها .. ما يريد إيصاله شون لك بإختصار هو أن الشئ الأساسي الذي يمنعك من تحقيق أهدافك هو حجم "لكن" لديك .. less
