I am a white female so this book really isn't targeted towards me and was hard for me to relate from the race stand point. However, the overall message of positive thinking, working hard to achieve, believing things can change and having positive people around you is relatable. Unfortunately, this is probably not a book I would continue reading simply because the way it was written seems to be a targeted specific group, the black community. I am excited though that there is this positive book out there and it doesn't focus on all the negativity.
