"Open and Read" is a sincere collection of 101 poetic rules to help empower the reader to find meaning in their lives while growing through adversity and difficult times.

"This book is merely encouragement, Guidance and direction, A collection of ideas, Intended for thoughtful reflection, With a purpose so simple, A message to “Open and Read,” When the day becomes difficult, Recite this dreamer’s creed.

If you’re willing to set sail, The sea will push you around, The day will turn dark, While the waves break you down, Beaten and bruised, You must remain on course, The storm will run out of rain, And the wind will calm its source.

When you finally reach land, You’ll know it was worth it to explore, Because the fear you felt at sea, Becomes the courage you take ashore, Remember adversity gives life color, Every challenge plays its part, Our experiences are like …

Stephanie Jane recenzis Open and Read de James P. Burns III

A collection of motivational verse

3 steloj

Open And Read by James P Burns III was recommended to me by fellow book blogger Olivia Savannah (http://olivia-savannah.blogspot.nl). The book is a poetry collection, but one with a difference as each of the hundred short poems, plus a final longer work, is a motivational composition themed around various positive thinking aspects. Titles such as Life Is Not Fair and You Can't Please Everyone mean that there is no need to try and 'understand' the poetry, each one's meaning is clear and there is often an overlap between poems which helps to reinforce the book's overall message. For an American book there is surprisingly little religion and the focus is very much on individual self-belief.

Burns intends for Open And Read to be dipped into on days when its reader is feeling discouraged or hard-done-by. Read in this way, I can see how it could provide a useful burst of …

Burns intends for Open And Read to be dipped into on days when its reader is feeling discouraged or hard-done-by. Read in this way, I can see how it could provide a useful burst of encouragement. I, of course, read it from cover to cover in an afternoon which provided a different but also interesting experience more akin to reading an epic poem. All the individual short poems share the same rhyming and rhythmic structure so they easily flow one into the next and I only rarely noticed jarring word choices. If you're into motivational verse and writings or have a friend who could use a lift, I would definitely suggest Open And Read as a potentially successful purchase.
