Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐Frankly, I don’t give a s*** that you’re young. This book is FULL of insights, interesting stories, and useful tidbits. But you should read it because of the insights, stories, and useful tidbits – not because the people behind the pen happen to be 20.Because this book encapsulates the lessons and stories, that will educate and light a fire under your ass at the same time, that are valuable regardless of the fact that the people writing it are young.I have a long reading list, and it’s rare I bump something to the top in front of other great titles. But I’m glad I did – and you will be too.
⭐Loved the overall layout of the book & the personal bios of each Millennial! I would have liked to see a portion of the bios be dedicated to contact information for those interested readers wanting to connect with inspirational individuals.
⭐As a co-author of this book, I have to say that the contributors of this book are the best of the best. From Olympic athletes to small business owners. The advice within is solid and holds true to my personal experiences and success. I highly recommend this book for any person, young in age or in spirit, who is interested in changing the world.
⭐This book shows young people the so called millennium generation are just as ambitious and generous as previous ones. Every graduate should receive a copy. It is their time to shine.
⭐Liked and gave as a gift!
