Bravo! 👏 👏 👏 Beautifully written! I enjoyed every ounce of this book. Justice Jackson brilliantly opened up her life and invited us in in a way that was relatable and allowed us to feel the challenges, the pain, the disappointments as well as the triumphs. Not surprisingly, she has a command of the English language that is enviable which allowed her to tell her story in living color. I laughed, I cried, I celebrated, and rejoiced.

As an attorney, and now a Supreme Court Justice, my hope was that she wouldn't overwhelm us with too much of the legal minutiae of her career. Thankfully, it was just enough to explain whatever situation she was conveying. If this is your concern as well, don't be. There was not one boring story in this entire book. I'm so grateful that she wrote this book because I always wanted to know more about her life and her journey to the Supreme Court. I am so proud of her! She is truly a lovely one.

What an inspirational read! If you're looking for some encouragement to push through the hard times, look no further. Tunde is an amazing storyteller. While some parts of this book are hard to hear, Tunde shares them in a way that assures us that we, too, can survive the difficult times. Dreams really do come true! Don't ever give up on yours.

This is the book you've been waiting for!

Emmanuel Acho nailed it! This is one of the best self-help books I've had the pleasure of listening to ever, and I've read or listened to more than I can count. I thank God for leading me to the Self-Help
section in a book store over 30-years ago. Self-help books have empowered me, encouraged me, and taught me how to find success. I wish Illogical had been available 30-years ago. It would have provided more clarity for me. As helpful as the other books were, oftentimes I felt like I was being given only part of the information, so I would buy another book in the hope that it would spell out more clearly what I needed to know to find the success that I craved. Illogical does just that. It will shorten your learning curve. In listening to this audio-book, I was finally able to distill the secret of my success: I have been Illogical! And that has made all the difference.

Great read! Sidney Poitier's voice is like music. What an incredible tale of survival and success. The Measure of a Man is a total success story. I loved it!

Riveting! Please Read This Book!

Revisado: 01-09-22

The information in this book hit me like a ton of bricks! I had no idea these horrors are being visited upon these innocent people in order to bring us, Americans, many of the goods we buy. Learning of the unfathomable torture these individuals suffer and the enjoyment that their persecutors gain from seeing them suffer just ripped my heart out. This knowledge kept me up at night. I have been profoundly affected by this revelation. I am humbled by the prisoners who risked their lives to get the information out.

Now that this condition has been brought to my attention, I will avoid as much as possible goods made in China. I will also become much more vocal when American companies' business practices of doing business with companies who utilize forced labor camps to produce their products is discovered and publicized.

Thank you, Amelia Pang and Nancy Wu, for bringing these atrocities to our attention.

A Must Read!

Billy Porter, I honor you. I thank you for telling your story with such heart and transparency. The cruelty that human beings inflict on people different than themselves hurts my heart. Thank you for persevering and never giving up. You have won!

A MUST READ!

Revisado: 12-10-21

This memoir speaks to the enormous resilience of the human spirit and the possibilities of what one can accomplish when he/she has a determined heart. Not only did Brandon save himself, he saved a generation. He was able to help "At Risk" children (I HATE that description) accomplish the impossible. We need so many more Mr. Flemings to step up. I realize that not everyone has the skills that Mr. Fleming had. However, if you don't have those skills, please find someone who does, and direct your child, or children that you know, to his program. So heartwarming! This is a MUST READ! It clearly demonstrates what the power of love and intention can accomplish. Well done, Mr. Fleming! So proud of you and your scholars!
