Reviews

REVIEW 1: Authentic, Authoritative, and Awesome - the book is that good. Chris Healy takes the perennial personal success formula and does what is incredibly unique for this mature genre...he actually put in practice and documents the progress of a group of his students through their own reflections. This is framed within a structured class style curriculum with material that is well referenced. Enlightening and uplifting - Mr. Healy's narrative and direction reads easily and every paragraph has something to offer with nods given, where appropriate to the greats of the success mentoring industry. The target audience is wide and the content applicable to the entertainment, entrepreneurial and professional markets. A sales team that has gone through this course would be formidable indeed. Steve Perpich - Management Consultant - New York City Event InsiderREVIEW 2: Christopher Healy brilliantly weaves two separate narratives into one book. WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT YOU? asks the reader to discover and analyze their 'true self, ' by applying 77 winning principles as a life-changing tool to compile a composite score of their 'best self, ' while following a compelling nine-week odyssey of twelve young people who made the same discovery in an interactive class setting. Healy's book offers winning principles as a life-changing tool. After reading What's So Special About You?, I felt that Chris Healy handed me keys to the 77 doors leading to success. (Andrew Terry Pasieka, Editor - and - Chief SMJ Magazine)REVIEW 3: Healy's book is deep, sustained, timely and highly relevant. This book provides a welcome, new synthesis of practical and professional knowledge and experience which is groundbreaking in its impact! (H. T Wilson former Professor of Law and Business Management)
