SUCCESS comes to those who are willing to work for it! FASCINATING & INSPIRING !!!
While I am not one to write reviews especially on books because it's so subjective; I am biased because of the author. I had been looking forward to this book ever since I knew it was in the works, and I personally feel Sebastian Maniscalco is one of the best, if not THE best stand-up comedians, and an all around great inspiring human being to ever walk this earth. I was not paid or given any freebies to promote the book, in fact I am proud to say that I have seen Sebastian's stand-up shows numerous times, 10 to be exact, over the last 2 years (please see picture to vouch for that) - with the most recent being in Chicago for his Stay Hungry Tour. However, knowing I was getting an autographed copy of the book in the VIP goody bag didn't stop me from having pre-ordered the copy from Amazon a few months prior. It is a brutally honest, funny, and inspiring account of someone who continued to follow his dreams, WITHOUT A BACKUP plan so as to keep his focus on comedy at ALL times. In fact, that's where the book shines, because while at first glance, it may seem to be a book about food, it's anything but that. It explains the trials and tribulations of hard work, and how hard work is only limited by the amount of effort you are willing to go to ensure success. This book is a clear cut example of how, when you put your mind to something, ONLY GOOD THINGS happen, and if they don't seem like that at first, stay hungry for more because you have to outdo yourself and not lose steam, even when you're at the top of your game.Sebastian, thank you for allowing us to share in on your journey... As someone that has met you time and time again (I'm the physician from OHIO that you have come to remember by face), let me say this... I may be the doctor, but you my friend... can cure depression like nobody else can. Keep on doing what you do, I am proud to be able to be part of this journey with you and promise to continue doing so... God bless you and your beautiful family - I'm not only a fan, but a friend - and I'm fully inspired by your achievements, success - and humble demeanor. Keep it up!
