Book Review

FavoriteThe first thing I did when I started reading Don’t Believe the Hype of the Negative Media: 10 Reasons Why The Future Is Brighter Than You Think by Coach Michael Taylor was to grab a pen and paper. I knew I would be taking pages of notes from all the insights. First, Coach Michael Taylor tells us that in order to work with the present, we must make peace with our past so that we can reconnect with our emotions. So, in other words, we must do inner healing work to move forward. It is clear Coach Michael Taylor wants to share his story of healing to allow us to understand that we can too, no matter where we come from. He wants to remove the negative stigma of therapy, especially men and therapy. He tells us that when we disregard all societal labels we have unlimited potential, and that gives me hope.

What I like about Don’t Believe the Hype of the Negative Media by Coach Michael Taylor is that he doesn’t judge, but rather guides us with his experiences and knowledge so that we can find our own truths. In Coach Michael Taylor’s words, “The intention of this book is to simply provide you with fuel for contemplation.” Coach Michael Taylor reminds us that to have great relationships in our lives we must have a great relationship with ourselves first. The other points in the book are equally enlightening: Relationships, Spirituality, Health, Wealth, and Self-Education. Understanding how our past reflects on our present is imperative and when we do the work, it can uncover hidden beliefs or negative feelings that drive our behaviors. I can say that after reading Don’t Believe the Hype of the Negative Media, I have more of an optimistic feeling about the future. When I realize I can jump off life’s rollercoaster without injury, I am hopeful and thankful for Coach Michael Taylor’s inspiring message.

I thought that Don’t Believe the Hype of the Negative Media by Coach Michael Taylor was quite fascinating. I admit I was a little confused by the title. I loved that he uses examples of his past to explain things, which made it easier to understand. Coach Michael Taylor had summaries after each chapter, which I found quite helpful. I liked that he gave you questions that you need to ask and answer. My favorite chapter was about technology. I loved that he used two of my favorite movies to explain certain technologies. I loved that I got a couple of 'aha' moments, thanks to Coach Michael Taylor. He mentions that this may not work for everyone, but that it worked for him, and I thought that was quite refreshing. He also mentioned that you should have an open mind, and he was certainly right. If you are soul-searching or wanting to find a happier or more peaceful life, then this is an excellent book to read.
