Book Reviews of Surround Yourself With Greatness
Book Review: How to be a success
Summary: 5 Stars
Chad starts out by telling of his experience when his father had to have emergency brain surgery. He goes on to tell other experiences from his childhood and youth, about his growing up, his football career, and his marriage and children. He talks a lot about other people he meets and how they were a positive influence on him.
His attitude is very optimistic and uplifting, which shows in every word he writes. He found good traits in just about everybody he came in contact with. He is confident and cheerful. The whole book illustrates the theme inherent in the title, SURROUND YOURSELF WITH GREATNESS.
There is a lot of football in nearly every chapter. It is a great read for every age, especially people interested in learning more about football as well as how to be successful in life. I'm a female, and I enjoyed the book because he also talks about other things a person meets in life, though I read pretty fast through some of the football stuff, just to get past it.
A great book!
Summary of Surround Yourself With Greatness
Three- time Pro Bowl tight end Chad Lewis says that every good thing in his life is a direct result of his family and his faith. Surround Yourself with Greatness takes readers around the world while looking through the eyes, mind, and heart of Chad Lewis a once freckle- faced, four- eyed, skinny teenager who at an early age wrote in his journal, My goal and quest is to surround myself with greatness . . . only greatness will penetrate the walls of my heart. Within these soul- searching, character- framing chapters, we meet extraordinary people coaches, teammates, friends, and family and learn what a profound influence we have on each other s lives. From the miraculous, near- death experience of his father to the life- changing events in Taiwan as a missionary to the brutal football training camps and his nine- year career in the NFL, Chad takes us on a path to our own selfdiscovery as he shares his secrets to happiness and what it means to surround yourself with greatness. We live in a world of relationships that are dynamic. We need each other. We need to choose, with conscious awareness, to open our eyes, heart, and mind to the great people who elevate life that are all around us.Memoirs Books
