The 170,000 members of Toastmasters International recently named Willie Jolley the top motivational/inspirational speaker for 1999 and one of the top 5 top speakers in the world! Now, without a doubt, I know WHY. This book is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. Anyone who has ever faced disappointments or been discouraged by setbacks will be inspired to "keep on keeping on," after they read "A Setback is a Setup for a Comeback." I bought this book in paperback, but I'm also going to buy it in hardcover so that I can pass it on to my kids.

I saw Mr. Jolley on Chicagoing several weeks ago talking about his book and decided to invest. I am glad I did. A constant theme throughout the book was "you can do it." The author emphasizes that you will have problems but with determination you can over come anything. It's like having a little angel sitting on your shoulder whispering in your ear, YOU CAN DO IT, just keep going and never give up. I found it helpful for me as I am moving to a new stage in my professional life.

I have had the pleasure of hearing Willie Jolley speak live. He is so dynamic that I thought it was very unlikely to convey that poower within the confines of written words. However, Willie's energy jumps of the pages and grabs you. You have to read this book.

If I had paid 10 times the price I would still be stealing this book. MOTIVATION, INSPRIRATION, DESIRE, SPRITUAL GROWTH are the feelings that I had after reading this book. It caused meto look at my problems not as anchors dragging me down toward an abyss of failure and dispair, but rather a trampoline catapulting me to a previously unattainend level of success. The more challenging the situation, the larger the trampoline. I will offer one analogy. The transformation of a piece of coal to diamond is a process in which that coal is subjected to thousands of pounds of pressure and immese heat, for THOUSANDS OF YEARS, before eventually becomming a diamond. Typically larger diamonds are formed from larger pieces of coal. Think of your problems like those pieces of coal with the advantage that you won't have to wait nearly as long for your diamond. This book will show you how.
