THE MINDSET: MY JOURNEY FROM JANITOR TO SILICON VALLEY MILLIONAIRE IN FIVE YEARS

Author – Ace Bowers

Ace Bowers is born in poverty. His childhood consists of three main things- his parents' constant fights, his brother moving in and out of jail, and his fear that his wealthy friends would find about the truth about his life. He hides his problems deep inside his heart and never let anyone peek inside the long walls covering his dark side.

He promised himself never to be like his parents but soon realizes that he is taking the same path. He is poverty-stricken, unemployed without a college degree. But then his girlfriend gives him a piece of news. Two words and his life is completely changed. He is determined to improve, not just for himself, but for his family that he is about to begin. How will his life change?

The Mindset is a story of a man who describes his journey from being a janitor to being a millionaire. It is a memoir written by Ace Bowers highlighting his life from childhood to parenthood through all the ups and downs in life. It is a book that will make the reader think about his approaches towards life. It enlightens the author's hunger for success and makes the reader crave for more.

The author describes mindset as the only bridge to success. He strictly emphasizes that it is us who decide what we would be in the coming years. It is our mind that plays all the games, and once we know how to control our minds, we will know how to control our lives. He expresses will and support to be the only strength of a person. You gain support and keep going. That should be your aim.

Initially, I had been hesitant about selecting the book because I was worried that it would turn out to be a monotonous self-help book. But I was completely wrong! The author's style to convey his message made me fall in love with the book. The author uses humor and appealing phrases to describe events and emotions. He does not give bits of advice about what we should do or what we shouldn't. Instead, he tries to make the reader enlightened by relating to his own story.

Another thing I like about the story was that it was relatable. If the story had used an exaggerated method to display determination, like being completely different from the parents and being determined to break the cycle of poverty in the first go, I would have never believed the book. But the author offered full transparency about his journey. He describes that he started smoking and being the same mess that his parents were. All of his words and truthfulness instilled more liveliness in the book.

While I tried to find something unappealing about the book, it was an impossible feat—I loved everything about it and ended up reading it in a single day. The story had no errors, and the book was exceptionally well-edited. There was no profane language used and did not involve any erotic content. I give this book 4 out of 4 stars.'

If you are looking for a story that will make your life more meaningful and change your way of looking towards life, this one is for you. The journey from being poverty-stricken to dealing with millionaires, mixed with emotions, is a full venture for your mind. The book will appeal to the readers who like to read self-help books and the lives of successful people.
