That’s What It’s All About

A friend of mine wrote the book and so I read it (A) out of a certain sense of obligation and (B) not knowing what to expect from it. That said, it is clever, insightful, remarkably accurate in some of the things that hold people … absolutely including me … back from achieving their dreams. How clever, to use such a well known song for an equally well known metaphor. But, then, isn’t That’s What It’s All About? If you liked Who Moved My Cheese, you’ll love this book.

I just finished this delightful book…There has been something new I have wanted to put my time and heart into for over 8 years, but the getting through the learning process with the perfectionist side of me has put me failure mode and so it was set aside time after time. The chapter on Parts especially left hand, head and whole self has helped me, I can do this… and perfection isn’t a part of the learning process. Let it go!
Thank you Robert Young for a very insightful, encouraging, fun book.

Using the Hokey Pokey as a metaphor, this book demonstrates the ways you may be preventing yourself from seeing opportunities. After reading it, I was inspired to try new ideas and branch out without the same worry of failure.

Robert Allen Young’s philosophical exploration of the “Hokey Pokey” is amusing and insightful. Young is able to use the familiarity with the simple song to explore a multitude of concepts and lessons that offer an in-depth guide to inspiration and motivation in everyday life.
