I am thrilled to be taking part in the blog tour today for Audacious
Goals, Remarkable Results.
I really enjoy reading non-fiction books and anything to do
with goals or challenges, so I jumped at the chance to take part on the blog
tour for this book.
Audacious Goals, Remarkable Results looks at how three
people tackled challenges, achieved their goals and helped to shape the world
that we live in today.
The first person that we meet is the engineer Isambard
Kingdom Brunel and how he overcame huge obstacles to build among other things the Thames Tunnel,
which revolutionised the way we travel today. The second person we learn about
is the politician Theodore Roosevelt who became President of the United States
in 1901. The final person is the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen.
I really enjoyed the way in which you learn the history
behind each person and that it makes you think about how each one tackled their
own challenge. I also liked the structure of the book, each section gives you
the history and lots of detail and then ends with information about how they
dealt with goals, challenges or problems.
The book makes you see challenges in a completely different
light. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys non fiction and books about
goals or self-improvement. This is a fascinating and inspiring book that I
would give five stars to.
