What Readers Are Saying
"What a great book that comments on life's twists and turns. Really good easy read!"
"It's a Silver Lining" is a very inspirational look at how almost everything that happens in our lives can be seen through a different lens. We often look at "unpleasant" events as screw ups, bad luck or bad decisions. Although these things may contribute, this book allows a very different perspective. By reading this book it really made me look back and the many decisions I have made in the past and numerous events that I once thought I regretted but now have found that they have contributed to where I am today and wouldn't have changed it in a minute. The author swallowed a ton of humility and put himself out there where many would never have gone. Yet he uses it to put a positive spin on some of the most tragic events we can face in life. It's an excellent and easy read that really puts things into perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone.
