This is the full follow up to my Book 2 done entry and Jillz Month 2 book review. Russell Simmons' Do You! 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success, is really in my opinion, a great book for one reason, honesty. For those that don't know Russell's history, you get a taste of who he was how and why he changed and what that evolution has done for him personally and professionally. He doesn't beat you in the head with "You have to do this MY WAY!!!" rules or orders but rather honest suggestions on paths that have proven themselves to be successful for him and others. He doesn't attempt to be perfect and candidly admits to not always staying on course himself which I find very refreshing.
Russell is Hip Hop and as such he's someone that A LOT of people speak on, speak about, judge and critique, unfairly so at times. But this whole book this whole story goes right in line with a tip from last months book. Reading the story's and words of other successful people puts you in an improved mindset to better bring out your own personal success, so to that end I finish this personal review with my favorite quote, law, rule, whatever from this excellent book.
"Empower yourself through empowering others"
This is a good read that I'd recommend to others.
