I
suggest everyone read Bill Wiersma’s book, ThePower of Professionalism. However, you do not have to read it before
reading The Power of Identity.
I
can sum up The Power of Identity in just two word, WHAT IF?
I
am 74 years old and as I read both of Wiersma’s books, I could not help but
wonder WHAT IF I had the opportunity to read these books when I was just
15 years old? Would my life be the same
today if I had? I seriously doubt
it. I am proud of what I have done in
those 74 years but it became very obvious to me that I could have done them so
much better had I known what is contained in these two books. If you want to be the best person you
envision becoming, read the book. If that
statement doesn’t interest you, don’t read the book but don’t complain that
life has been unfair to you; I would also avoid operating any heavy machinery!
If
you were going to repair a car, fix a kitchen cabinet or even write a book, you
need tools and you need a plan. To build
a better you - the person you desire or have dreamed of becoming - it will not
happen on its own – YOU NEED TOOLS AND YOU NEED A PLAN! This book provides you with both. It would serve you wisely to read both
books starting with The Power of Professionalism and then The Power of Identity
but as stated that is not a necessary before you read this book.
I
did find the book at times difficult to read, not because it was poorly
written, on the contrary it is well written.
I found it difficult because as I read it, I had to stop and think and
consider how what I had just read applied to me and my life. I gave a lot of thought to what I could have
done differently and better had I only known.
As a writer you could not ask for anything more than getting the reader
to think.
Except
for a few dollars and your time, you have nothing to lose by reading The Power
of Identity but the benefits that you could obtain by reading it are priceless! My advice, don’t just read it, study it and
use it as a guide to becoming the very BEST YOU!
Charlie
“Tremendous” Jones said, “You will be the same person in five years as you
are today except for the people you meet and the
books you read.” This IS one of
the books you should read!
Who
should read this book?
Since I absolutely believe that everyone who reads the book would
benefit from its contents, everyone should read it. I feel that teenagers who read the book will
especially benefit from its wisdom and content and could use it to create a
better future than if they did not read and study it.
Would
I read it again? Given
my age, probably not. It is, however, a book that if actually studied,
would be a book people would read and study again. I cannot go back and re-write my personal
history but readers could certainly re-write their futures.
Would
I give it as a gift? I
definitely would!
