Giveaway: The Little Red Book of Wisdom

Random

The Little Red Book of Wisdom by Mark DeMoss is  basically self-explanatory from reading the title. It is a little red book full of wisdom! Although books with typical “wisdom” tend to be boring, this one is certainly not! Throughout this book, Mark DeMoss tackles concepts that we are commonly faced with in life. One of the great things about this book is that the author provides real-life examples to support his points. It is one thing to talk about wisdom, but Mark DeMoss shows it by writing about his own struggles and experiences.

Although this book is about wisdom, it is so much more than mere wisdom. In the book, DeMoss breaks down wisdom into practical areas. The book is broken down into two sections: professional life and personal life. My favorites chapters are chapters 2 and 3.

Chapter 2 deals with finding your focus in life and chapter 3 talks about getting out of your comfort zone. The second section of this little red book of wisdom is about the wisdom for your personal life. This section was really practical because he provided specific examples that suited his topic perfectly.

All in all, this was a great book. I have read some bland books on wisdom, but this one is amazing. I would highly recommend this book to others!

And because I would recommend it, I am giving away a copy of it to my faithful readers!

        Weird… I had clicked directly on your link and it sent me to a page that said the user didn’t exist. Did it two or three times. This time it took me to your page. Will tweet it out shortly.
