Rise and Grind by Daymond John

35083562

Alright alright so one more self-help book on motivation for budding entrepreneurs with no significant difference than other books out there by people such as Tim Ferris, Grand Cordone or Gary Vaynerchk. Same format with chapters based on famous celebrities and go-getters on how they rise and grind, what's their work philosophy, what are their priorities, etc. 
Reminds of Vaynerchuk's book Crushing It that follows the exactly same format of talking about how people made it.

Overall, it is an ok book with no groundbreaking material with same message if you want something you have to make it happen by whatever way you need to. In my opinion if you have read books from other authors on similar topic you can safely bypass this book.

That being said I feel Daymond John really wants to cultivate entrepreneurial spirit in people which is the motivation behind this book. The last chapter is a little personal when he talks about his thyroid cancer and how he views life after that incidental discovery. 

The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” – Mark Twain. So go figure out the second one if you haven't already.
