I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a heartfelt story and one that embraces the challenges and rises above them. He faced a bunch of situations from a lack of love and care from his parents. He also shared how he experienced a rough business patch during covid and how he had to try and overcome the offsets. He explored the power of unconditional love and resilience can transform our lives. The lessons and the stories he shared was very heartbreaking but hopeful to see how it made him into the man he became. This book contains a very hopeful message.
