Bobby Bones: A Guide to Overcoming Adversity and Achieving Success Through Hard Work and Perseverance

KW: Bobby really knows how to write a book! He may try to come off as a shy, incompetent writer. However, he knows how to write a book and knows how to “hook, line and sink” to pull you in. I couldn’t put it down, just like the first book. I bought Stanley for my daughter and her classroom (she’s 6 in 1st grade). I listen daily to his show… not because I’m from Arkansas and loved a huge portion of my life in Hot Springs, AR, but because I love the stories when the good guy finishes last. Also, dude… grinding and fighting and winning. Plus, WOO PIG SOOIE!! 🐗

He is direct and to the point. This book was an encouraging read and motivated me to keep trying to reach my goals. I would recommend this book to everybody.

Robert W. McGee, author of Justifiable Homicide: A Political Thriller: I was not too familiar with Bobby Bones' career before reading this book. All I knew about him was that he was part of American Idol. It's one of the better autobiographies I have read. It provides many fun and interesting details about his struggles and path to ultimate success. It is also inspirational.

Rob Natiuk: NOT A PABLUM-SERVING BOOK with glib sayings about success. But TRUE GRIT about the hard knocks of striving to reach your life goals. Bobby Bones makes no bones about the value of failures and how to use them to “fight, grind, repeat” and achieve your goals -- sometimes! I found this to be a fairly good “motivational guide to being less terrible at life,” or “more better.” But there was also a lot of chaff to get through to those kernels of truth.

GOOD STUFF. Bobby’s angle on success goes contrary to many of the common principles in vogue for years. He says, “The biggest winners are also the biggest losers.” He shows us by examples how we can turn our losses and negatives into winning in life, achieving at least some of our goals.

Some inspirational “rags to riches” stuff. “For years I resented the fact that I was a food-stamp kid, a head-lice student, a connoisseur of the finest welfare checks.” He recognized that starting from zero, he had no where to go but only “up” – “FALLING FORWARD.”

NOT-SO-GOOD STUFF. I found the writing often meanders, straining to be humorous, his hyperboles and free-flow writing confusing at times....
