( ) Nowadays, book stores are filled with books of redemption. Not so much in the sixties when this book was written in simple, clear and unapologetic language. Sands, a punk and petty criminal on the fast track to oblivion is "saved" by prison. Likely to die or kill on the streets if not arrested, Sands rehabilitation was so dramatic that he was released from a life sentence after less than three years. I read this many years ago and it has been mostly lost in the onrush of other books, but it has retained for me the power of love and hope to smooth out the cruel bent life often gives to our character. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A Man Who Found the Meaning of Life in a Solitary Cell . . .Who Fought His Way Up from Rock Bottom to Win Wealth and Success! Bill Sands was doing three consecutive life terms in San Quentin by his nineteenth birthday. He admitted that he was on his way to committing murder if he hadn't been stopped. Thirty years later he was a successful businessman, a famous speaker and the author of a bestselling book. Along the way he had been a pilot, a boxer, a comedian, and a diamond miner. Bill Sands died in 1969, but he left behind as his legacy this exciting story of his life so that others could benefit from his incredible experiences. Bill Sands was a devoted follower of Napoleon Hill, an author and advisor to two Presidents who devoted his life to creating a formula for success. This formula consisted of seventeen principles that anyone can learn. Here in Sands' bestselling life story, he demonstrates the power of applying Hill's formula for success. This edition contains a special introduction explaining exactly which of Hill's principles Sands used--or abused. My Shadow Ran Fast is the incredible story of a remarkable man--an ex-convict actively engaged in prison reform work and in the rehabilitation of criminals. Learn how to unleash your power to control your life just as Bill Sands did. Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve! "An excellent portrayal of a very mixed-up and dangerous young man. I highly recommend this book." -CLINTON T. DUFFY, FORMER WARDEN OF SAN QUENTIN PRISON Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
