Praises for Cynhia Kersey's masterpiece of the human spirit! I just bought the book two days ago and couldn't put it down. As a matter of fact, I'm shopping for something else to read because I've just completed Unstoppable. Just when you think you're going to put the book down to get some sleep, you realize you're half done reading it and want to read some more. I read dozens of motivational books while in undergrade preparing to enter Dental School, and this ranks up there with the best... the Zig ziglars, Og Mandino's, Norman Vincent Peales,etc. If you've ever thought there was something in life you wanted to do, but never accomplished because of FEAR or that negative CAN"T, or was told that you COULDN"T, these negatives will be banished from your vocabulary FOREVER! Unstoppable gives countless examples of the depths from which the human spirit can raise anyone and everyone. I would encourage people of all ages to read and re-read this masterpiece. I will!

Extraordinary....even after my third reading!

For the record, I picked up this book about two years ago for the first time, and I have read it in its entirety twice since then. This is a masterpiece. You will never forget these stories. Through the stories of ordinary people who have accomplished extraordinary things, Cynthia Kersey gives you insight into your own potential for greatness. This is not just another "come on, you can do it"-type of book. The people highlighted in this book are real. They are just like you and me, but they live with "purpose that ignites the spirit". They probably never thought of themselves as "great", and perhaps they never set out to be highlighted in a book like this, but they are...and for good reasons Kersey painstakingly outlines at the end of each chapter (Your Personal Action Plan). Her writing is taunt and flawless. A companion workbook is also available and I would advise anyone to make good use of it. Let Cynthia show you how and WHY you should! This is definitely a book that you will refer to again and again, as I have. It can give you the renewed faith and conviction you need to get up every day and follow your dreams. You'll never think of yourself as ordinary again!

One small story can change an entire life.

One particular story in this book is one that everybody should read. I loved the powerful prose and disturbingly familiar motivational phrases - they helped me get out of bed in the morning. The lesson we can learn from Bill Porter: triumphs don't need to be big to be large. It's like swimming with sharks: you can be wet, but you don't have to die, too. Other stories in this book struck a chord with me, but Bill Porter's love for life will always ring true in my heart of hearts, my gut of guts..he is LOVE. I thoroughly recommend this book.

The right kind of inspiration.

This is not just another collection of true stories because the KIND of stories collected here make all the difference. These are not just stories of people making a million dollars by making a cheaper product and beating the competition. These are the kind of stories that encourage people to succeed by doing good works in the world. They are the kind of stories you will want to read to your children. If you have a goal that is difficult but you feel really needs to be done, this is the book for you. I'm the author of the book, Self-Help Stuff That Works, and I know what works. This book will inspire you to action.

From one "unstoppable" person to another, "Get this book!"

I am a voracious reader of personal development and spiritual growth books, and I must say that Cynthia has written one of the best self-help books I have ever read (even better than the classic Think & Grow Rich). She not only tells you the triumphant stories of "ordinary people," she gives you the action plan for becoming extraordinary yourself. The book is 300+ pages long, and I finished it in two days. I couldn't put it down, and now, neither can my friends. Thanks Cynthia for a priceless gift.
