Dapper Dan

 

 This was a phenomenal read. It was another one of those can’t put it down reads. I had pre-ordered this book before its release and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it.

 As a youth I ran around the streets of Harlem, New York and I actually went into Dapper Dan’s shop a couple of times. It was great to learn about the man and what he had endured. I related to everything in this book. I remembered a number of the events he spoke on. The book really took me back. It had me reminiscing and thinking it was just a great mental workout and it was inspiring to say the least.

 Reading about the struggles others have endured is a huge motivator for me. They often make my struggles seem much smaller and it just ignites my determination. When I finished reading this book I wanted nothing more than to hit the gym and work up a good sweat.

 I don’t care what anyone thinks or says. Speaking from my personal experience, reading, exercising your mind, is vital to living a healthy lifestyle. This is why I am posting all the books I am reading because it is a key factor in making all the progress I have. Once again I will say it’s not so much what you read, it’s just important that you do read. Knowledge is Power! Health is the true wealth and to get and keep your mind healthy, nothing beats reading! Thank you for READING this.
