If you're looking for an uplifting and inspiring read, this book is a must. The author, known simply as "LJ," shares his remarkable journey of resilience and growth, offering readers a refreshing dose of motivation. His writing is engaging, witty, and authentic, making it easy to connect with his story. What sets this book apart is its genuine positivity—it offers encouragement without the usual gloom that saturates today’s media. Whenever life feels overwhelming, I find myself revisiting its pages for a boost of perspective and hope. While there are countless self-help books out there, none capture the raw, relatable wisdom of Logan Dominique James. This is the perfect companion for anyone seeking motivation and a reminder of the strength we all carry within.

I love to read, and the best books to me, are the ones you just can't put down. This book is definitely one of them! There were moments that brought back memories, made me cry, made me laugh, and some references that made me squeal in joy! (Go Sci-Fy!). Some parts hit hard, and really brought home that even though you might think you are the only one going through certain experiences, you aren't as alone in them as you might think; it's just the situations that might differ, but the feelings they create are very similar, if not the same. I just had to pass this book onto my mother, and she thoroughly enjoyed reading it as well.
I look forward to whatever the Author creates next!

This book is a lovely read. It's the kind of book you'll want to keep in your permanent library so you can go back to it any time you feel blue. It's comfort food in print.
The author has overcome a lot of obstacles and hardships in his life, and he's done it with such grace. He gives the reader pointers and suggestions throughout so that they too can find joy no matter what their circumstances. He does this without coming across preachy or like he's got it all figured out.
He tells his story in a fun, casual style that makes you feel like you're having a visit with a good friend. Read the foreword before starting the book, because it sets the tone for his unique story telling style.
I sincerely hope he writes more books because I would read them all.

This heartfelt memoir of Lj’s personal life experiences is truly a must read! His unique and personal story telling style was captivating, tugged on my heart and left me inspired! I connected with some of his experiences on so many levels! It served as a great reminder to always focus our thoughts and intention on positive energy and experiences!
My son also read this book. The style of writing and humour Lj used had him wanting to read more! The stories made him emotional, laugh and reflect. He made connections with Lj’s stories from his younger years, particularly in the areas of bullying, self-esteem, self-confidence, and friendships. The stories about racism, raised his awareness about the struggles and pain it causes. He saw himself in the stories about kindness and generosity. My son was so moved and inspired that he even used the “annotations” feature, on the Kindle App, to take notes and highlight parts of stories and Lessons Learned that resonated with him the most! I am confident the words of encouragement, wisdom and emphasis on the importance of happiness throughout the book, will equip him to make positive changes and navigate situations in his own life!
This memoir is sure to resonate with so many people from teens to adults as it covers so many life lessons and experiences such as bullying, body image, racism, health issues, depression, anxiety, fitness, self-love, and happiness. His personable story telling style is refreshing and engaging. The Lessons Learned, highlighted at the end of each chapter, are both enlightening and empowering! His honest stories along with how he was able to take these lessons to rise above his many struggles to bring happiness and positivity into his life, will leave you with hope…and truly inspired!
