OUTSTANDING! LIFE’S HANDBOOK!

This book, Straight Up, by Trent Shelton and David Tieche is truly outstanding! It far exceeded my expectations, which I’m surprised about because I love Trent Shelton. I’ve followed him for years and take tine to listen to all his podcasts, “Live” videos in social media, etc. I knew I’d enjoy this book, but really had no idea on the impact I’d make.
This book provides a real look at numerous situations we deal with throughout our lives. But gives valuable advice on how to deal with and/or prepare for them.
You won’t be disappointed with this book, Straight Up!
