Put Your Dream to the Test by John Maxwell
We are currently reading Put Your Dream to the Test by John Maxwell. In typical Maxwell style, it’s a leadership book. John Maxwell isn’t known for pulling punches, and Put Your Dreams to the Test is no exception. The reader is challenged to put their dream through ten (10) “tests.”
Probably the most controversial yet profound chapters deals with “the Reality Test.” While most “dream gurus” might say you can achieve anything you set your heart on, Maxwell says you can’t. The book is worth the read just for this chapter.
If you want to build your catalogue of quotes or impress your Twitter followers, you will find a plethora for your arsenal. We could hardly turn a page without highlighting a quote and notating it for a Facebook post. Afterall, doesn’t Facebook need more pithy wisdom?
We love books that are practical and pragmatic. Put Your Dream to the Test scores high on that list. While reading it for the purpose of review, many on our team found themselves challenged at their core. We were scribbling in the margins and on scraps of paper to actually try to put our dreams to the test. Once we all finish, it will be interesting to see what we have learned. We think the same might be true for you.
Do we recommend this one in Maxwell’s seemingly endless line? We’ll say yes, with an 8.5 out of 10 rating. Some on our team might be a little too picky.
We’d love to read your thoughts on the book. So would our readers. You may comment below.
