This man persuaded at all levels of life. James came from a very low-income background, but he kept changing. Way things In his life. Yeah many different careers. James Had R e s I l , e , n , c , e , do you things in life professionally and personally. You did many different careers in his life. He started his career by going to school and becoming Ara DIOLO. G He did this for 40 years, but he had different Companies which eventually sold. He then moved to Dallas in 1983 and he was working at a local Local Hospital where he was the directory of radiology.
Ou are really allergic. And then moved into the fitness franchises. Called Orange theory he eventually owned thirty three of those All over northern Texas.. He also ran a thing called b balance centers which were for health. You then went into and then he went on to own dog grooming, Francis will. He was pretty interesting because he every challenge he had in this book. He just said OK, I'm gonna do it. I also mention one of my favorite movies call elizabeth town. This is a guy whose father dies in the movie. But he was a shoes person for a sneaker. And he was the big new hot guy but the shoes failed. He realized how short his life was. And he was looking for a way to start a new life. The thing that hit home. He always wanted to plan a trip with his father across country and that did not happen. He meets this girl in the movie. And he realizes how much he's missed in life. I think the movie kind of ties in with james because opportunity knocks when you least expect it. You take everything in life and try the best you can. You never fail because you keep trying new things. You think the worst moment this is not gonna work but it does. People are afraid to change. They like to stay in one little corner and that's it. I think if you keep changing and bracing new ideas you expand who you are. James went from being in the medical field to a fitness to health and dogs. He took these opportunities to grow and learn. You can make anything you want in life, but don't be negative. Erase new ideas and you're off

This was a well written book. Reading the title with the word redneck in it, I wasn't sure which way this story would go. It could include so many things. But it was a good heartfelt story and a great story about resilience.

I did not realize this was a biography when I first picked up the book. It's hard to give a review of someone's life. I will say he wrote this well.

For me, this book was not my cup of tea but was well written. I appreciate the author's perspective and where he is coming from and would recommend to some of my appalachia reading friends!

This book reads lime a textbook on how to succeed in business, as well as how to succeed in life. It is an easy read. I recommend it.

James Harold Webb’s book Redneck Resilience was an advice book tied up like a memoir. James writes about his humble beginnings in rural Mississippi, starting with nothing and becoming an X-ray tech, making against the odds. Throughout his life, he made friends along the way. He writes that he became successful, not because of skill or intelligence, but because of resilience and the willingness to work hard at things and not give up.

Each chapter has a “moral” written at the end, or its “Redneck Recap”. It seems like life advice maybe more for his children, but not harmful for others to read and live by. Things like “never compromise your principles” and “take the risk when opportunities present themselves” are always good advice. He has make a prosperous life and wants to share the wealth, so to speak.

The book is a fairly quick read and describes a life full of mistakes but no reason to regret them. Webb seems to say, learn from them, work hard and never give up and you will go far. I do think the use of “Redneck” could be offensive to some people, but I guess as the saying goes, it takes one to know one, and he is not being disrespectful, but making a point that our lives are not predetermined and we have the power to change things.

This is a great book about James‘s growing up in Laurel Mississippi and ultimately leaving there to build a life with integrity and all the lessons he learned in the small town from which he came. It is true that everyone has a story in this story is about James Harold Webb but could be about anyone and how the lessons we learn when we’re little or ultimately what helps us make decisions later in life. I found Mr. Webb’s biography very interesting not just because I didn’t know where Laurel Mississippi was but because he has let up very interesting life unlike most biographies this one isn’t written to tell you about what a great person James Harold web is but the kind of person he is he doesn’t pat his cell phone the bath throughout the book the lays down the facts and tells you the stories whether funny or sad and let you be the judge I really appreciated that about this book and I am so glad I read it. I don’t read many biographies nor do I like most of the ones I read but I did like this one and highly recommend it. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.
