What
people are saying about The Art of Living With Enthusiasm...
"Sonny has this unique way of utilizing his own experiences to remind us what is most important in life. If you haven't
learned those lessons or forgotten them, here is a perfect way of
getting back on the path to "Living With Enthusiasm". If this book
doesn't encourage, inspire and comfort you, plus bring on a few tears, call the coroner!" - Paul Adams
"Melendrez's thought-provoking vignettes about maneuvering the
minefields of life should be required listening for every middle-school
teenager and every ninth-grade student who has ever been tagged a
failure."
-
Ramón Rentería, El Paso Times
“Thank you for sharing your personal stories. You had me
in tears from the heart, as a mother with laughter, shouting out loud "NO
WAY" and "Oh my gosh, REALLY?" in the first 4 chapters
alone. Your stories were motivating and encouraging... for us ALL to
aspire to be better human beings. I began the book with tears (of joy) and ended with the same.”
- Belinda Benavidez
Learn the secrets of how to fill your life with
enthusiasm daily. Simply put, this
book is about what you wish for yourself and how sometimes, even those
closest to you can't see the brightness of your future.
Review:
There
is life, then there is Living Life
"I was blown away by this book. Seldom do
you see a 'Living Testimony' of Enthusiasm. Most books on motivation are
"how to" books, a list of do's and don'ts to change your life of misery
to a life of unbelievable ecstasy. Sonny doesn't "tell" you how to do
it, he shows you how he did it.
He is an ordinary kid, born into poverty,
and armed
with only an imagination that catapulted him to stardom. This book is
for everyone. Young people, entrepreneurs, College Grads and post 35
life learners. If I had to reduce this review to single words I would
list: Fun, Joy, Pursuit of happiness and contagious hope.
Listening to this book was an adventure
much like a road trip. Anxiously anticipating what is coming around the
corner and getting that tickle-belly feeling at what actually happens.
Every personal library needs this book. If Enthusiasm is a vitamin for
the mind this book is a pharmacy."
-George Garza
