A Guidebook For Wellbeing and Personal Growth

I’m going to begin my review of “Power From The Heart” by Doug Davidson using some communication skills I gained through reading it.
If you’re reading this review because you’re not quite sure it’s for you, STOP and give yourself a gift that is worth far beyond what can be measured in dollars and cents. Buy It Now and you can thank me later. Actually, it's Doug Davidson whom you will be thanking once you begin the journey that “Power From The Heart” opens for you.
I’m no stranger to books which purport to improve your life in various ways, I won’t name specific examples but suffice to say that many of the “popular” titles have left me by the wayside and I have left them in varying stages of unfinished.
“Power From The Heart” is different in a delightfully reassuring way. Doug’s genuine warmth and compassion are effectively conveyed through his writing in such a way that I felt a real friendship with the author. Rarely does this happen, but when it does it’s truly amazing.
“Power From The Heart” is written in an inviting format which takes you through Doug's life as if you were right there alongside him. You feel his triumphs and disappointments as deeply as he did. A particular feature of the book's format deserves special recognition because it really helped me change my outlook on life for the better. Each chapter of the book ends with a section called “What insights did I gain from this experience?” These one or two page reflections by the author on what the previous chapter’s experience taught him are true 'veins of gold' running through the book.
I have no doubt that “Power From The Heart” has the power to improve your outlook on life and while doing so improve your life itself. It certainly did for me!

Reflective, Insightful & Inspiring!

I've known the author, Doug Davidson, for over 25 years now. Reflective, Insightful & Inspiring are 3 words I have used to describe him over the years and how I would describe his book. Power from the Heart is a book that will touch so many people. It would be difficult not to relate to at least one of his stories or experiences. One of the things I appreciate most about Doug's book is his willingness to be vulnerable by sharing his insights/lessons learned, even when things didn't go exactly right. We are a cumulation of our experiences and Doug does a wonderful job of expressing his journey. He is also a Leader by example which his book demonstrates by challenging others to be their best self on any given day.

Telling inspiring stories

We make sense of the world through stories and from that hopefully take action from that inspiration. Doug’s stories provide that kind narrative to springboard our ongoing journey to be our best selves and catalysts for a better world.

Uplifting and heartfelt -- a must read for all who want to be inspired

This book is amazing on so many levels. Doug Davidson tells his incredible story with power and humility. He takes us on extraordinary journeys as he shares his brilliant accomplishments as well as those times when it seemed as if everything was going wrong. Throughout it all, with honesty and emotion, he shows us that we can overcome nearly insurmountable obstacles and achieve all that we imagine -- we just have to believe. Thank you, Doug, for this supremely inspiring book.

What an inspirational journey…

The author’s journey is quite inspirational. The stories I’ve read so far (just finished chapter 15 and have a hard time putting it down) have enabled me to provide a much better perspective of my own challenges while inspiring me to push forward and take whatever action is required to achieve success, learning and adapting from the failures along the way.
These stories will be top of mind for quite some time.

Excellent book. Very informative.

I really enjoyed reading this book. What a fascinating life the author has had. I actually went to school with Doug but was a year ahead so I didn’t get to know him very well. The book gave many ideas on how to change your life for the better. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a new challenge in their life.

Connect to the power in YOUR heart

It's important to an examined life to set goals, and Doug Davidson's trajectory has led him to accomplishing many of his goals. Whatever the outcome, he takes his learning to the next level and in the process tells us his story, failures and wins. We can tell that Doug's goal in writing the book was not just to write a book, it was to share what he's learned and inspire others to set and achieve their own goals.

It’s an easy, conversational-style read, which is authentic, engaging, compelling, and comes from the heart. The Insights at the end of each chapter provides thought-provoking, inspirational guidance. A ‘must-read’ book and a great gift too!

Powerful & Inspiring

A book I look forward to re-reading and gifting to those I know can benefit and expand from its reading. Inspiring as I followed Doug through his life via the book he relays a sense of continuous positivity and relentless determination. All universally applicable to us, the readers and students, Doug illuminates on the importance of completion, written out and publicized goals enabling accountability and structure leading into determination and being in integrity with oneself and with others. Doug is the example of inner capabilities dormant within all of us and provides a format to which we can develop our own "Life Manual". From the read I quickly expanded my confidence compiling onto my already shifted perspective and state of being. Doug and his book, I believe from my heart are generating a sense of awareness enabling his readers to look in the mirror and make the change for as Doug has done it, so can I. Today though in its infancy, I am glad to say that I have completed my fourth day of 22 pushups & know I have the power to see my commitment through to completion because of the compelling purpose behind 22! Thank you Doug Davidson and Mark Wright for the gift that is this book!

Insightful and powerful

I was given this book by a colleague of mine and let me tell you... it was AMAZING! The entire book was engaging and inspiring. As you are reading it, even if you have not gone through the same experiences, it is very simple to relate to experiences of your own. You cannot read this book and NOT learn something about yourself.
