Change Your World: How Anyone, Anywhere Can Make a Difference by John C. Maxwell & Rob Hoskins is a brilliant resource, in my opinion, about choice that leads to change.

When I saw this book was by John C. Maxwell, I was so excited to read it! I find his books to be comforting and he writes likes he speaks so I can hear him reading to me. This is the first book that I've read by Rob Hoskins and now I look forward to reading his other books!

I loved how this book provides tangible, actionable information and will serve as a practical guide for change in my life.

I'm so grateful to John C. Maxwell & Rob Hoskins, HarperCollins Leadership, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

Simple title, simple concepts, great detail. I really enjoy how John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins are able to detail out a simple yet complex idea. This book was a definite need in our current world situation. People need to think on a grander scale of how they can create a big impact with a small change. There is more in your control than you give yourself credit for.

Another good book by this author and I felt it was very timely for where we are in the world today. Change starts at home...
Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy

For many years I’ve listened to John Maxwell talk about his feelings for his books. This one? It’s just different. He’s always had such impactful statements about the “why” of the book. I’ve had an opportunity to read this one in advance and it gets to the heart of leadership and the honor and responsibilities on each of us to #changeyourworld and #changetheworld. It’s about #transformation - thankful to be a #harpercollinsambassador and a part of the #johnmaxwellteam #JMTDNA - get this book. Don’t let it sit on the shelf. It’s a book you can live out loud with others.

Its hard not to love anything by John Maxwell - I've listened to him and read him for many years and he is one of my favorite go-to's for leadership. This book is phenomenal - because it is so needed, now!! Whatever your worldview, or perspective, this one is a must read if you want to be a change agent. It is current and relevant - filled with lots of great stories to inspire - and several that just happened during the current pandemic. Not only that - but this becomes interactive if, after reading, you utilize the resources John and Rob and their teams are providing and get involved in a Transformation Table. That's where your change can happen and then it can spread to the world - we can change the world, one person at a time, starting with you. If you read only one John Maxwell book - this is the one. That's saying something because I have several others of his as favorites as well. My advance digital copy was made available through NetGalley in exchange for an objective review, without obligation. I still bought the hard copy anyway - love his stuff and this one, that much. Read it in like 2 1/2 days!

So many self-help books out there and so many authors giving good advice but these guys - John C Maxwell and Rob Hoskins, co-authors of “Change Your World” actually walk the talk in their everyday lives. The best cheer leaders you get as you make adjustments to live your best life. The wisdom and truths in the book keep you hungry for more in life and strengthen your resolve as you journey. The true life stories shared through the chapters stick out of those who have changed their world’s through adversity and risen above their circumstances encourage you, that you too can have an inspiring story. They lift the lid on the nitty gritty and give you a clearer perspective, in small ways how to change your life in a big way.

If there's anything I've learned during the social distancing period and shutdown incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic is that feeling helpless sucks! And when I saw this book on Netgalley, I immediately reached out because John Maxwell has written extensively on leadership drawing from real life examples and the Bible- so reading up on the strides Rob Hoskins has made as well was a major boost.

In the book, there's the story about 5 frogs where it's told that 4 frogs decided to jump, how many were left? And if you are like me, you probably said 1 and that's where you and I miss the lesson on the difference between decision and action/ intention and action. The 4 decided but did they follow through on that decision? We don't know so we can't say that they truly jumped leaving behind the 1. That is so human, we believe that once we have a decision then that's as good as acting upon it- but change is mobile, it involves movement- action and throughout the book, the two authors share practical insights on how to go about this.

The greatest take away from this book is that if you read it to the end and cast it aside, that's on you, and if you read it and draw from the lessons shared here and actualize them, then that's also on you.

Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.
