Allen T. Brown

My daughter teaches an online Ballroom Dancing Class so we read this book together.

With all the introvert focused volumes recently released, DANCING Through LIFE
stands out as an extrovert's dream. The author inspires readers to focus
on doing their own personal best while enjoying the wonder and delight and
gentle musical challenges of DANCING.

Whatever our age or abilities, he shows readers that there is still time to explore
the fantasy of what our lives can be if we let go of any fear and simply LIVE.… (plus d'informations)

I place higher weight on advice from people who have lived what they are selling. This author certainly seems to have done so. His book is a quick and friendly reminder to feel our own beat and follow our instincts about what would make our life great. The advice is given through a combination of personal philosophy, examples and the authors on personal story. I'm not always a fan of such a light treatment and quick switching between concept and personal examples. However, in this case it especially worked for me. The message has also stuck with me over the past few days, which means it was meaningful and memorable.… (plus d'informations)

This inspirational book by Allen T. Brown will help anyone who is seeking to make the most their life with what they currently have and all that they certainly can have if they apply themselves. Allen relates how from somewhat humble beginnings he was able to do what so many may say they want but somehow do not attain.

His formula for success is not new. Much is drawn from other inspirational writers and he focuses heavily on Napoleon Hill's classic, "Think and Grow Rich." Allen emphasizes the think part of this title but probably more so relied on the action elements where probably most fail to follow through.

He also covers many other principles such as seeking the help of others and how important guidance and support will be on the journey. This carries over to gratitude another major underpinning of his success.

And finally maybe the most important principle, that of giving back. Only by giving do we really get in life and that is something many of us probably misunderstand. Material success is one thing many focus on while missing out on the greater reward of reaching out to help raise others in need.

There are many more principles and lessons to be learned in this book and it is the type that needs to be revisited often to stay on track.

Allen encourages us to move out of our comfort zones where many of us get mired into thinking we are safe and secure. Maybe so, but by not breaking out and striving he shows us we only end up accepting the self imposed limits and miss out on so much.

Through the book he interjects how his own life was transformed by the various principles and practices and did indeed lead to successful outcomes, not without struggle but well worth engaging in the challenge.

Hopefully he will consider a more in depth autobiography as I am sure there is much more he could share. Yet learning to dance on the floor and in life takes first one step, and that lesson we all need to learn ourselves.… (plus d'informations)
