About this listen

"There's a secret to mastery that you may have never heard, a single little thing that only the very best in the world know how to do. In fact, I believe it is the only thing anyone can do to gain true mastery at anything, and it's an equal opportunity principle. It can be applied to fulfill your potential in business, in sports, in your relationships, as well as your overall life. Do you want to know what it is?"

In the crowd, Jason leaned forward, laser focused. Kicked off his basketball team after a season-ending fight, his only chance to play ball again was to sell enough books door-to-door over the summer to get back on the team. He never needed wisdom like he needed it now. But little did he know that the answer he was seeking was about to change his life forever. Pound The Stone is the intense and inspiring story of a young man's journey through the obstacles, defeats, and eventual victories that come while developing grit on the path to mastery. Told in the same engaging fable style as Chop Wood Carry Water, this is a deeper dive into the timeless principles that guide and inspire anyone who seeks greatness in life, and covers everything from true success, to the perfection trap, the value of failure, why courage is contagious, and why vulnerability can save your life. Pound The Stone will move you, inspire you, and hopefully encourage you to choose love and courage over fear and shame.

Terrific parable novel on success and how!

Success is rarely overnight. It is often achieved by pounding the stone over and over until the breakthrough arrives sometimes very suddenly.
"If you don't quit you will win" said the successful networker, the late lamented Bert Gullick, to me, and all he spoke too.
This book explains in very readable terms how to do just that. The narrative is well read and inclusive. Definitely a winner!

An easy to imagine collection of parables

Handy parables to make the teaching of lessons easier to imagine in your own life.
Life isn't so simple and well correlated as the story depicts but remember its at best a refence guide from Joshua's standpoint at that stage in his life.
