My Review š¤
Dream Big was not what I was expecting and I would be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. I had high hopes at the beginning, as the book has a strong start, but I quickly learned that the introduction was pretty much all there is to it. The rest of the book felt like nothing more than personal stories and anecdotes, lacking the advice and sustenance that I was craving. I do have to say that the stories did help me better understand and connect with the author on a more personal level, and really helped me understand where he was coming from, but it didn't go deeper than that.
This is the first book that I've read by this author and after reading the raving reviews I had high hopes, but it just fell flat for me. There were a few good points that were brought up, and got me thinking, but nothing was groundbreaking by any means, and was more general in nature, lacking the depth that I was hoping for. I really wanted to love Dream Big, and be further on my journey of self-discovery after reading it, but sadly I am still where I begun. I am giving it three stars because the writing is good, and I did enjoy the stories, but as far as personal growth, I am stunted and sad. My Rating: ★★★
