Buckle Up and Enjoy the Ride by Bill Carr successfully fulfills its subtitle, “Finding Your Own Path to Resilience, Gratitude, and Peace.” The book is a series of extremely personal essays by the author, each including pearls of wisdom that are worth reading. This entrepreneurial author discusses the many turns he took in his life (“Life is not a straight line”), the many lessons he learned, and the importance of resilience. To fully cover the many great lessons in this book would require me to spend multiple pages covering the details. I loved it as a reader and a reviewer. There are so many gems of wisdom throughout. I was reminded of Dale Carnegie with his principle of Live in Day-tight Compartments with one of the chapters. I have read and reread the resilience chapter--wonderful!
The book covers a valuable variety of lessons, including persistence, individuality, success, resilience, and giving back to others. One of his gems was to write your eulogy to bring yourself a gift of peace, and it will remind you of who you are and what you have yet to accomplish. The author and his family have faced many tragic events in their lives, and their resilience is truly inspiring. It reminds us of how much power we have and how we can stand the most painful of situations. The author reminds us how our lives often take many turns, and it is in our resilience that we will succeed. You will fall in love with this book as its deeply personal stories carry with them amazing words of wisdom worth reading repeatedly. Buckle Up and Enjoy the Ride by Bill Carr is highly recommended. An inspiring book that I'm glad I read. I hope this review helps let others know what a wonderful book the author has written.
