This is one of the most heart warming and inspirational things I have ever read! Natasja last
I've attended many of Mark's talks and heard parts of this story many times seeing the entire story written in this book put the whole thing in a new light.
There are so many insights in this book that I can't mention them all here I suggest that this book is one that you should read several times. It's one of those books that should be read with a highlighter pen in hand.
But there's also a deeper message here.
And that message, I believe comes in two parts.
Firstly, a negative past isn't necessarily a prescription for a negative future.
I'm certain the strength he gained in surviving his early years gave him the ability to overcome his illness later in life. After all, the strongest steel is forged in the hottest fire.
Secondly, and in my sincere opinion what this book is really about, is the importance of strong belief and vision.
The American philosopher William James said
"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact"
And I for one am extremely grateful that the world still has Mark Baker in it.

About the Author: Mark Baker. Motivational speaker. Author. Coach. Cancer conqueror. Guinness world record firewalk challenger.
Mark endured heartbreaking physical and psychological abusive at the hands of his father, who relentlessly tried to shatter his sons confidence and self belief on a daily basis throughout his young life. However Mark wouldn't be broken, He had a vision for his life and nothing was going to prevent him from realizing his dreams. Which included becoming officially recognised as one of the top one percent of salespeople in the world. (Source MDRT.ORG)
But even then his life wouldn't be free of obstacles, as the challenges he faced bought him close to a breakdown as a teenager. However his determination and understanding of how to utilise the awesome power of the mind would dramatically alter the course of his life. A power Mark believes resides in each and every one of us. This mindset would even allow him to overcome stage four cancer after being misdiagnosed twice leaving him with a slim 20% chance of survival and a 90% chance of a brain tumour if he survived the following twelve months.
But in adversity there is always opportunity and Mark used the power of his mind not only to change the course of his own life, but also the lives of the countless people who sought him out from around the world, Before going on to become one of the most sought after inspirational speakers and coaches in the world today.
The thing that seperates Mark from so many inspirational speakers and writers in the world today is not only his authenticity and obvious love for people, but the humility he shows as he reflects on his life's journey and the undeniable role it had in his success, As well as his infectious belief that it's never been about what happens to us, but what we choose to do about it.
