Breaking Out of a Broken System

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first got a hold of this book. What did a musician and a 20 yr old kid have to teach me about life?Once I started to read I was blown away. I've read books like this before and they often come across as preachy and "I have this figured out, why don't you?". This book is none of those. It's funny, moving, challenging and mostly just plain genuine. If you met the Bolt Brothers after reading this book you would feel like you were already friends, as this book comes across like you were having an unfiltered conversation with both of them.The idea to have the book split into two sections with the different visual approaches, one coming from Seth's point of view and the other from Chandler's is genius, the creative v the entrepreneurial. You can definitely feel their different personalities come across in the writing styles and 'voice'. Had it been in tandem it might have felt more overwhelming, like you were being spoken to and less conversational. Instead you get the same ideas from different vantage points, and after reading both sections, the ideas felt reiterated rather than repetitive.I can't tell you what you're going to get out of reading this book, it will completely depend on your life and situation. I was inspired, Challenged and moved to action. What I DO know is that this book will save a life, maybe yours will be changed from it, but definitely someone else's will be saved. 100% of the Profits are going to Charity to supply Malaria pills via Palmetto Medical Initiative, 1 pill can save 1 life and that's why I'll be getting more than one copy.

First, what I liked. Second, what it did for me. Third, how it could improve.I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was clear and simple, yet full of practical wisdom. I liked the use of black pages with white type. (I tried doing that on a previous project.) I also liked how both brothers wrote on the same topics, but from different angles. Good reinforcement without being too repetitive.Usually, when I finish a book, I stew on it for awhile and really absorb it. As a result of reading this book, I didn't stew. I just took action. I attached some Do It Now's and finished three of them this morning before I left for work and finished one on break at work. Writing this review is one more. *Check* I made a list of limiting vs. empowering beliefs. One of the actions I'm taking as a result is to pay off student loan debt more rapidly. Early in the book, I listed my 5 best friends and put them in categories, which helped me mentally clarify why I like them (kind of funny), but more importantly how we sharpen each other. I also made special note of the pointers on how to start a business. So thank you Chandler and Seth for goading me to start moving in the right direction.As for improvements, keep writing guys! Keep being an inspiration! And each of you should get married and have some kids. It will rock your worlds in the best way possible. If you care to know, there is a minor typo on the opening page of chapter 15. At least, I think it is a typo. The time should probably read 2:05pm.Good book. I've already recommended it to a handful of my friends.

Any book that comes with a playlist is good by me... especially when the playlist includes SWEET music.When I first read the procedure the authors used to shell this baby out, I was a bit astonished. I have never heard of a book... or much of anything for that matter, being written in this manner. In the end, I'm really glad the authors went about it the way they did. I don't like calling it a self help book. I feel like it is much more than that. The sincerity and conciseness is both refreshing and entertaining, also humorous. Numerous times while reading it on planes, I interrupted the naps of the poor folks sitting next to me with laughter and/or knee slapping. As the old adage says, "sorry not sorry."That being said. Do yourself a favor, get the book. Please also read the book. Maybe also carry a sign that warns people of your potentially disruptive reactions. Or even better, I hear there might be shirts? Get a shirt and practice saying "I am sorry" (though as previously stated, you're not.)

I honestly didn't think I would enjoy this book as much as I did. It was very hard to put down! Not only is it written in a unique format that makes reading much faster and enjoyable, but this book covers topics that I have always felt strongly about, but that is not popular in today's culture. (For example: Not everyone should feel entitled to go to college.)Although this is a fast read, I went through this book slowly, but only because it was packed-full of information. (I literally took a screenshot of almost every page on my iPad so I could refer to them later!)Everyone needs to read this book. We all have a dream, and so many of us push it aside in order to conform to our culture. This book reminded me just how brainwashed our society has become. No, we are not all called to take the same path in life, and that is okay. Yes, it is possible to pursue what you love and pay your bills.In summary, this book was full of advice on how to: start a small business, save money, increase productivity, and decrease procrastination.This book could be enjoyed by all ages--both adults and young people alike.Also, one of the best parts about buying this book is that you will save a life! So whenever you purchase this book, 100% of the profit will be given to charity to provide a life-saving malaria pill. Seth & chandler hope to provide 10,000 life-saving pills by selling 10,000 copies. Please be sure to purchase yours so they can reach this goal! (Don't you love having a legit excuse to buy a book without having to feel guilty?!)

I really enjoyed this book and the very different approaches to similar themes taken by both Seth and Chandler. Also, the fact that the total profits from the book are going to the Palmetto Medical Initiative was a further draw to buying it!I really hope I can put the lessons learned from this book into practice, even if I don't start up my own small business right away! It has really challenged my attitude towards giving, and considering my influences.What amazing parents these guys have to have instilled such wise advice in them growing up. As a reader from outside the US, I am glad that this wasn't another cheesy "How to Achieve the American Dream" self-help book. Quite the opposite, really!

An inspirational book to drive you forward from two perspectives . Inspired my friend Bridget and I to write our first kindle book Success at sixty+. It gets the job done.

We need more men to think like these young guys.Seth and Chandler are men of integrity who love life and aren't afraid to work hard and smart to get what they want. Thing is the KNOW what they want. Many men these days don't know and they are too afraid to step out of their comfort zones to find out. This book teaches honorable and good morals to take you through life.Don't be mistaken. It's not a quick get happiness book. No it's a book that tells you how to make it in this world and not regret your life coz you didn't even try.NOTE on download:When you download it from Amazon it IS 4 pages. It's not a mistake. It's done on purpose. But please read ALL 4 pages properly before freaking out and giving this book a low rating. The instructions are there for people to download the full book for FREE since it would cost too much to put it all on Amazon. They want as much of the money to go to the charity, not Amazon's pocket.

This book if funny, realistic and shows you how to learn from everyday life! I read this book because I was a fan of Seth Bolt and his band NEEDTOBREAHE, I was not expecting to be inspired and challenged by this book in the way that I was. I recomend everyone should read this book, there is no rules to who it will speak to or inspire all it takes is an open and brave heart.
