Story4.5 out of 5 stars 101
A teenage snooker prodigy, Ronnie turned professional with the highest of expectations. This pressure, together with a challenging personal life, catapulted Ronnie into a life of excess and addiction. He was winning titles - his first within a year of turning professional - but losing himself and his game as he tried to block out the mental pain and misery. Whilst Ronnie appeared at the height of the game to spectators, these were the moments when he felt at his lowest.

A great book for both fans of Ronnie and people just wanting a bit of reassurance, and encouragement about life in general.
Some great insights into the chimp paradox too which is a must read, for anyone trying to understand why we act like we do sometimes!
I enjoyed hearing about the sacrifice and attention to detail, and the commitment it takes to become a world champion, But also about the human side of it all. I'm sure people needing it will get a great deal from this book with regards managing the daily struggles of any endeavour or just life itself!
No one is perfect, and having a purpose, and asking yourself honest questions, and giving yourself honest answers, is a great way to manage yourself, and in turn makes life that bit more enjoyable, and takes away the unnecessary pressures that this modern life puts us under constantly!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 579
Frank W. Abagnale was one of the most daring con men, forgers, imposters, and escape artists in history. In his brief but notorious criminal career, Abagnale donned a pilot's uniform and copiloted a Pan Am jet, masqueraded as the supervising resident of a hospital, practiced law without a license, passed himself off as a college sociology professor, and cashed over $2.5 million in forged checks, all before he was 21. His story is now a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.

Once you read this book, you will have the tools to control your weight easily, without going hungry. I have lost 9lbs in 2 weeks, just by avoiding added sugar, processed foods, and upping my omega 3. I have eaten Chinese takeaways, and full English breakfasts, and still the weight is coming off. I am enjoying my food and have even started exercising again. I feel like I am finally in control of my weight, after years of yo yo dieting. This book should be given to every obese person in britain.

This is my autobiography. It's not a novel; it's my life story where I want to motivate and influence others. It shows lots of emotion, both highs and lows, how to succeed - it shows how I turned 37p into 100 million pounds. I have dyslexia and ADHD which is highlighted as you listen to the book. Due to this I often get sidetracked and have to go back to the original part of the story; again, this is highlighted.

It was OK and offered a few good negotiating tips, but overall felt a little dated.
