One of the best books I have ever read!! The way Bob writes feels as if you were sitting down with him having a conversation. He is such a great storyteller and knows how to get a point across simply. It doesn't feel like digging into the questions he asks. I had a notebook with me at all times while reading this because of how much this book made me think. I highly suggest this book to anyone. it makes you think deep and dig into your ambitions.

Dream Big by Bob Goff
This book took me through many emotions, from sad to laugh out loud funny. He not only tells us to ‘dream big’ he tells us the way to get to our goal. He must be a very enchanting person to be around. So many experiences. He’s willing to let us see himself as funny as well as his failures along the way. I did enjoy it. All the experiences as well as the journey to get where we want to be was interesting, and also let us know it’s really possible. It was well worth reading. I would highly recommend this book.
I received a complimentary copy from Nelson Books through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinion expressed here is strictly my own.

Passionate call to arms about the need to ‘dream big’ and do so in alignment with God’s will for one’s life.

Highly recommended for new grads and those who have big dreams, but need a spiritual push.

No one dreams bigger than Bob Goff! This book is full of practical advice on how to identify your dreams and bring them to life. Bob Goff is one of a kind and I think he provides good guidance here. Thanks for the opportunity to read this book. I would recommend to anyone looking to build a life of meaning and purpose.

5 stars

Dream Big is the first book written by Bob Goff that I have read/listened to. I love all the stories he shared about his own experiences. Highly impressive. His tips are encouraging and reiterate the need to jump out in faith when pursuing your dreams.

Thank you Netgalley and Nelson Books for the ARC of this book.

Bob Goff is one of my favorite authors. I have read his books, “Love Does” and “Everybody Always.” So when I heard he had “Dream Big” coming out, I pre-ordered it on Audible. Having read Bob’s other books, I knew he’d have a great perspective on reaching dreams.

One thing I really like about this book, as well as some of his others, is that he tells lots of stories, which keep me engaged, but they have spiritual and life lessons attached.

In the introduction of this book, Bob said, “I’ve written a few books and some of the stories probably made you laugh, while others made you cry. I want this book to make you think.”

This book made me laugh and think. It challenged me to live life to its fullest and not settle for mediocre. At this stage of my life, I need a little push. One of his quotes that really inspired me was at the beginning of Chapter 23, “The minute between planning and taking action is the difference between daydreamers and real dreamers.”

I have aspirations of writing a book “one day.” I used to at least write a couple of blogs, but now, I have gotten distracted, so Chapter 24, “One Thousand Words” is probably my favorite. His practical tips are something I intend to put into practice.

I highly recommend this book. It’s funny, inspirational, and challenging all at the same time. I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

This is my first Bob Goff book, and I enjoyed it so much I will definitely be picking up the others. The faith pieces fit very naturally in this, but the author is careful to acknowledge that some readers might not be coming to the material sharing his faith system. I loved the personal stories sprinkled throughout the book. I would just read his stories and be perfectly happy.

The first section of the book - and the longest - deals with character qualities the author believes readers need to address before digging into the meat of the book about ambitions and dreams. Don't be put off by those early chapters - the lay out of the book makes sense.

The questions for readers to work through are compiled at the end of the book. Readers who want to go through the questions as they read will just need to flip ahead. Personally, I read through cover to cover and then will go back and review my highlights as I work through the questions.

Goff fans should not hesitate to pick this up. Readers looking for help in determining and working towards their dreams should pick this up as well. (My recommendation for those folks would be to read this and also read FINISH by Jon Acuff.)

Love this book! Bob Goff has a way of helping you want to spring into action. This book makes sure that you're thinking through your purpose and doing what you are intended to do here. There's a quote from the beginning that has affected me and made me think about many things... The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through LOVE. If Goff's other books talk about how he has acted out in love, this one inspires you to dream and get moving on a path that was made for you.

Excellent uplifting resource to dream.... Dream big....and take action. This is wonderful!!! Bible Based and filled with personal stories... Dream Big by Bob Goff is about moving out of your comfort zones...and walking into your destiny. Practical, step by step guides filled with a beautiful message about God's love for the reader. I wish I was in the audience listening to this book live as Bob Goff has a compelling voice on paper. The other thing I want to do is to buy my own paper version of this book instead of Kindle so that I can highlight, flag and bookmark to my heart's desire!! Definitely a book worth reading and rereading!! (I just ordered a hard copy from Amazon and will probably wind up getting the Audible version too!)

Thank you to NetGalley, Nelson Books publishing and author Bob Goff for this temporary advanced review copy for me to read and enjoy. My review is voluntary and my opinions are my own.

Bob Goff is one of our generations great storytellers.

If you have read any of his books, then you know what you are in for with this one. You will laugh and cry and be inspired to live better. What this book does more so than any of his previous books is that it takes his great storytelling and it gives a more practical pathway for the reader to achieve what he has: a life full of big dreams and bigger love.

This book is an easy read. Bob is a fun and engaging author and couldn't write a boring book if he tried. His path is simple but definitely not easy, it will take some serious courage to live out our biggest dreams. Good thing he also leads us to the one who gives us courage.

Bob Goff is a true teacher and wise sage. Buy this book, find a comfortable place to read, pour yourself your favorite beverage and let Bob lead you to where your heart is wanting you to go.

The publisher made this book available via netgalley. These thoughts are my honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed DREAM BIG. It felt like a giant hug of solace, encouragement, and motivation--all rolled into one terrific volume.

Goff helps readers to identify self truths and take actionable steps toward meaningful change with his trademark anecdotal wisdom. Introspective insight punctuated with humor and faith, this title is a kind encouragement for those ready to embrace a personal challenge.

This is an enjoyable, uplifting, and encouraging book. The author shares personal anecdotes throughout the book to make his points. The main purpose of the book is to dream and then take action. It is also Jesus and God-based. When I checked it was #2 in Christian Personal Growth on Amazon. I appreciated that he wasn't preachy nor did he adhere to any certain religion. It was more like he reminded the reader that there is a place we can always turn to and a Divine source that wants the best for us at all times. It was a worthwhile read, for sure.
Thanks to the publisher, the author, and NetGalley for this copy in exchange for an honest review.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this book! Not only was it highly motivating and inspiring, but extremely practical and insightful. In Dream Big, author and motivational speaker Bob Goff offers readers down-to-earth and encouraging advice while providing workable and useful tools to help launch one’s personal dreams.
Sprinkled throughout this outstanding and easy-to-read book are vignettes from Goff’s own life which relate to his ambition-launching blueprint for readers, the teachings of Jesus and how they can help frame one’s goals, as well as some healthy doses of humor. At the conclusion of the book there is a chapter-by-chapter guide that reviews key highlights and provides thought-provoking questions to assist the reader in the clarification and setting of goals to help launch one’s ambitions. So start dusting off those dreams and get inspired!

I received an ARC from the publisher and NetGalley and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Great read! I felt that this was another wonderful book to add to my Toolbox if you will. I feel like you read the book, take the time, invest the time in yourself and then pull what works for you out, then put it into play.

We tend to run on routines, putting our dreams, plans, ideas on a back burner until well, who knows? Good intentions, you know the drill. You have to make time for you. Address what you feel in your heart, what tugs at you, what calls to you and excites you. And this book helps peel that out of you, without just fluffy words, but action plans!

Reflection questions win for me. They tie the material you were just presented, into a wonderful, self-directed session. So you can’t just rip thru the book and say “Nice read” and put it on your shelf. You pay attention to the reflection questions and work the material and that is where you start to turn the mirrors around to face you. It gets real folks.

Just invest in the book, share with recent grads in your life. I feel that anything that allows you to improve upon YOU, is a win on any level. It’s what YOU take away from it. It’s what you see as a “positive” vs “oh it wasn’t for me”. You can find something workable on any level in this book. If you can’t, well then you may need to work a bit harder on your journey towards taking care of you! ;)

#Dream Big by Bob Golf

“Sometimes the biggest ambition starts with the smallest whisper.” Bob Goff - Bob whispers truth in his latest book. Filled with funny stories, serious thoughts and practical application ideas, Bob leads readers through the opportunities to think, dream, explore and grow. Bob is a class act and a great encourager! No big dreams, no problem. This book will help you learn about yourself at a deeper level and you may find a big dream, too. Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Highly recommend!
This book was supplied by the author and publisher through #Net Galley for me to read and review. This review reflects my personal thoughts.

Having recently read and loved Everybody, Always, I was very excited to read a new book by Bob Goff. This book is very readable, and I could easily imagine myself attending a conference with Goff as the speaker, sharing his stories and insights. That said, I did think some things seemed repetitive and like Goff used 50 words to make sure he hammered home an idea that readers could get in 20 words. There are lots of good insights, but I also felt like it was a little disjointed. (But I think if you sat down and worked through the questions at the end, then it would be helpful and keep you on track.) I liked the tone, which was positive and encouraging. One thing that did stand out to me is that it seems like Goff was writing from a place of privilege--he owns boats and planes and lodges in Canada and stuff--and while he definitely has done a lot of good with his wealth, it could make his experiences hard for some readers to relate to. It's easy to talk about quitting your law firm when you've got the money to do it; it's not so easy to quit your job to pursue another ambition when you're struggling to make it. Overall, I definitely liked the ideas and I'd love to listen to Goff as a motivational speaker.
3.5 stars.
I read an ARc provided by the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I love reading books about goals, but I have never read a book like Dream Big, by Bob Goff. Bob doesn’t pull punches. Accomplishing our ambitions will be hard. But when you know who you are, where you are, and what you want, great things are going to happen … or maybe you’ll be arrested and thrown into a jail in India, but hopefully you’ll accomplish great things in the process. This book touched on so many topics that address the whole person. Bob will not only inspire you in accomplishing great things, but also to be the kind of person who connects and impacts others in unique ways. As Larry the Cucumber said, “I laughed. I cried. It moved me, Bob.” I will be rereading this book again and again. I highly recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This book couldn't have come at a better time.

While I was sitting at a cross-roads of closing one dream and wondering how I could be free to dream again, I picked up Dream Big.

Truth: I couldn't put this book down and the words felt like they were written specifically for me.

Constructed slightly differently than the rest of Bob's books, Dream Big airs on the side of practical. Chapter by chapter, I found I was not only inspired by Bob's stories, but also challenged to act and process all those ambitions I have been carrying for the past few years, and in some instances, decades.

Dream Big helps you wake up, sift through your passions, explore opportunities, and dares you to live a life full of deeper meaning and purpose. Unapologetically.

And guess what, it's okay if you fail or change your course.

As a Junior High Language Arts Teacher, I will be reading this book out loud to my students and encouraging them to each get their own copy. As an entrepreneur, I will be taking the time I need to sit down, do the work within the pages and chart my course.

The nuggets of wisdom you will find in this book priceless. Dream Big is for the dreamer, the discouraged, and for those who are simply content or need a challenge. May the words in this book light a fire in your heart to be the best you can be, right here, right now.

*Thank you to the publisher Thomas Nelson for an ARC via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.*

Go behind the scenes with the friendly fireball that is Bob Goff to research, identity, plan and give wings to your strongest ambitions. The goal is to impact others through you. Goff shares both successes and setbacks while approving of both as catalysts for life change.

Dream Big is inspiring, encouraging, uplifting, thoughtful and challenging. Be prepared with tissues for the final chapter. The epilogue is full of helpful questions and tasks to guide your big dream.

I received a complimentary copy of the book without obligation. This review is my opinion.
