Industry Reviews
As a mother of 3 young adults I cannot express how thankful I am to have found this book. Like the author I am not a helicopter parent yet I will intervene when my children need help with overcoming their failures. Take This L is such a wonderful guide. There have been times I didn't know what to say or what to do to comfort them. Well, not anymore. This book is just what I needed. They need too! I found it relatable and useful. An easy read. A great Christmas gift and graduation gift for parents and young adults.
As a millennial who sometimes experiences anxiety, "Take This L" was a good reminder that losses aren't always a bad thing. I Love how vividly the author shared stories from his own personal losses in life. Mostly enjoyed the perspective that when life doesn't go as planned, you don't have to be devastated...but instead pivot & realize there's an even better plan about to unfold for your life ð?ð?�¾...as long as you have the right mindset about moving forward. Oh & I'm definitely adding "fragilience" to my vocabulary!
From the moment I saw the title Take This L, I knew this book was going to be something special. Danny White does an incredible job of drawing readers in with his storytelling, making it feel like you're walking through his life right alongside him. The way he connects personal experiences with larger themes of mental health, faith, and resilience is both powerful and relatable.
Good content, I love the call to action portion of each chapter. It really turns this book into a manual and practical tool to create awareness and make a plan to leverage every "L" you take. I appreciate the authentic approach of sharing real life situations and stories, not many people are willing to share their shortcomings in order to help others.
The author presents a step-by-step approach to understanding and accepting losses as a natural part of life. He uses personal anecdotes, motivational insights, and practical exercises to guide readers in embracing challenges. The relatable tone and use of humor make it engaging for all ages. The inclusion of stories from diverse perspectives enriches the narrative.
