Soon after meeting him, I picked up a copy of his book.</p>
<p>I actually sat down to read it one night while Leann was watching Dr. Quinn. I figured I&#8217;d read until she finished the episode she&#8217;d just started, then watch a show myself. But by the time her episode was done, I was half done with the book, so I just spent another hour and read the whole thing. So it&#8217;s definitely a quick read, along with books like <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/159184200X?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=webifiablecom-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=159184200X">The Go-Giver</a>.</p>
<p>The book had a great story, which is based on the real life experiences of Tom Pace. The story was entertaining and compelling, a definite page-turner. The book tells the story of a CEO mentoring a young man in prison, something Tom himself actually does on a regular basis. The events in the book of the CEO influencing the young man, then the young man helping the CEO through a rough patch in his business, really do parallel the experiences Tom himself has had. And the story was very compelling, with each chapter ending in a cliffhanger of sorts.</p>
<p>One of the great things for myself as a reader was the extensive list of other books to read as well. There were a few books listed throughout the story, then the end had a much longer list of recommended books for people looking to improve themselves.</p>
<p>I do recommend the book as a quick read, and it&#8217;s definitely a good start if you&#8217;re looking to begin building up a library of books on how to improve yourself. And it&#8217;s a great book to buy larger quantities of for high school age students, which is something they&#8217;re actually trying to promote. You can buy large quantities directly from <a href="http://www.mentorhope.com/">Mentor Hope, the publisher</a>.</p>
