This is a foot stomping (oops, I'd better embrace another part of his skeleton,) knee-slapping good read. I don't know what Pat eats for breakfast, but I want some of what gives him that fire in da belly. |

Pat Croce's amazing success story is about motivation, inspiration, and a fair dose of chutzpah! Pat's advice, liberally sprinkled throughout the book, will cause you to nod in agreement - and smile. |

There are several bloody good points in Pat Croce's book I Feel Great and you will too!
First and foremost, it is the power of positive attitude. According to Pat, it was his permanently positive attitude that helped him score big in life. A positive attitude, in turn, comes in several dimensions. It is self-confidence and sincere believing that life is an extremely great thing to experience. It is expecting success in the future and doing the best you can to help God make you prosper (and this does not mean lighting lots of candles in churches, at least not limited by that). It is pushing other people's limits, helping them achieve more than they have even dreamed of. It is "doing good" to "do well". And this all genuinely generates your excitement and further reinforces your positive attitude.
Pat also stresses the importance of balancing your passion and tolerance, the Yang and Yin, in doing things. Being an extremely choleric person himself, Pat emphasizes the importance of cultivating tolerance and caring, the Yin, while it is clear from the book that the lack of Yang (aggression, energy and passion), or over-restraint of your Yang, can damage the optimal balance as much.
You have to have enough passion and energy to quickly rush into doing what you think is good and worthwhile, to "buy" the minds and souls of your pals into the idea; but you also have to sometimes calm yourself down, sit still, and listen to the emotions, concerns and advice of others. Or, more in Pat Croce's style, to restrain yourself from getting too hot and breaking the skull & bones and ripping off the heart of someone who dared to say a bad word to you. And that all requires a good deal of Yin.
Being a physical therapist himself, Pat shamelessly advertises the healthy lifestyle (physical therapy in particular), and does that so damn great, that I just couldn't keep myself from going to the gym the day I finished his book. So if you wish you had yet another stimulus to get yourself to a fitness center - this book will be a double benefit for you.
Overall, the book is mostly a fun read, tells lots of interesting stories, and gives plenty of great advices. It also motivates you to do good things, become rich, engage in sport, and enjoy your life to the fullest. A great book. |

This an extremely interesting book on several levels. If you just read it to read it then it can come of as an egotistical sophomoric recount of Mr. Croce's life. If you did that you would be cheating yourself of an extremely motivational tale. Instead read between the lines, particularly up until the chapter on the ten commandments of customer service. By reading between the lines you realize that the things that made Mr. Croce successful are not his wild stories of college hijinks. It's not his repeated desire to tear appendages from those who disgree. It is his pursuit of simple truths. Great things start with small steps. Persistence. A belief in yourself and what you pursue. Although these are things we already know this book just reinforces them and serves as a reminder. His ten commandments of customer service are things we all realize are important. If asked each of us would probably produce a similar list. Yet when I read them it made me review my own companies handling of customers. I can see where some stories can come off as a little much for some people but they should not deter anyone from reading this book. When I had first finished the book I probably would have rated the book a 2, maybe a 3. After thinking about it and really looking into the story I realize it was much more of a motivational book than I recognized at first glance. While I don't think it would improve to a 5 start rating I do believe it is a very solid 4 star. It is particularly so for someone looking to fortify an already existing similar view of life. |
