Summary: Unfortunately there are only 5 stars to give to this book...
Comment: Reginald F. Lewis offers to us a guidebook on perseverance, not understanding limitation and humanity that is certainly a must read. He teaches us through his life that the many self-imposed limitations are the greatest obstacle to success. To see a man dedicate himself to his familiy, business and community in a manner that should be considered enviable for ALL races, is truly inspirational. A consumate "player" Reg sought to understand "the game" and all of its nuances then to play it to perfection. He recognized the role that race played but would not allow it to be a limiting factor in his personal or business lives. His life serves as a testament to the triumph of the human condition over a hand that many would say should have dealt him out of the game. I consider this book my inspiration and guide as I navigate the waters of business and investment. The title may put off many but it speaks volumes to Mr. Lewis' philosophy. If readers of all races step back and consider what this title represented to him they will understand the motivations underguirding its meaning and the actually "color blind" nature of this work which should be considered a text as well as an autobiography of a great man.

Summary: VISIONARY!
Comment: After reading this book, you can't help but agree that Reginald Lewis was a visionary. After years of hearing others say "You've gotta read the book," I finally did, and there was no regret.
While reading, I could relate to quite a few hurdles that Lewis had to jump; and despite the opposition to all that he had in mind, he remained focused on his ultimate goal. Its obvious that he wasn't trying to impress anyone, or prove that an African-American could do it. He was proving to the world that African-Americans are just as human as anyone else; therefore, we should be judged based upon our character, and work.
This book of Lewis' life and work was an inspiration, and I would recommend that anyone of color, or anyone who feels the pressure of the world telling them "to slow down and be like the rest of us," should READ THIS BOOK!

Summary: WOW is all I can say.
Comment: This book made me want to work so much harder in life to achieve my business goals. The key is fake it until you make it. No one knows you struggles unless you tell them and you can't make excuses for your life and why you have to work hard. I read it fast and read it again.
