5.0 out of 5 stars The Importance of Being Present
Matt Drinkhahn's "The Eternal Optimist: It's Never Too Late" really hit home for me as a driven, Type A guy who's always put in the hard work. Drinkhahn's message about optimism, resilience, and living in the present was an awesome reminder of what's truly important. The book shows the power of positive thinking and believing it's never too late to go after your dreams or make meaningful life changes. Drinkhahn keeps it real by sharing his own journey and struggles in a raw, vulnerable way. His story is solid proof that an optimistic mindset can help overcome crazy tough challenges. What really struck me was the emphasis on cherishing time with loved ones. Having lost my dad at 8 years old, after he kept saying he'd spend more time with me "when I got older," taught me early on how precious time together is. That tragedy shaped my approach as a parent - being present and engaged with my son and family has always been a top priority. Drinkhahn reinforced that mindset. The book is all about appreciating each day, finding joy in the little things, and practicing gratitude - which are key to a fulfilling life. By embracing optimism, we can make the most of our time with the people who matter most. This book is a must-read for anyone needing inspiration, motivation, or a renewed sense of purpose. Drinkhahn's words are uplifting and will encourage you to live your best life while never taking loved ones for granted. In our crazy world, "The Eternal Optimist" is a refreshing dose of positivity and hope. It shows the resilience of the human spirit and reminds us to chase dreams, choose optimism, and prioritize what truly matters.
What an inspiring story!
Although fictional, I know this story is based in the reality of the authors experience of realising there were areas in his life that needed to change so he could put his family first. Having the courage to recognise something needed to change and then actually doing something about it takes a high level of emotional intelligence and guts to see it through. Hats off Matt and we'll done! Highly recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars A poignant reminder about what's really important in life
If there was a lighthouse that beamed infectious optimism, cutting through the grey mist to cast a web of inspiration, inside, tending to the evergreen flame of positivity, would be Matt Drinkhahn. His simple yet powerful formula of staying curious in the midst of life's challenges will surely resonate with anyone who has been caught in the oops loop - the, "damn, I did it again!" cycle that plagues us all from time to time.

This is a great read for all who are looking for motivation to soar.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book to Emphasize the Importance of Identifying Team Values.
The story features many examples of how things can go awry despite the best of intentions when members of a team are not operating under a shared set of values. The book is short enough that any leadership team could benefit from reading it to understand how shared values can help uncover blind spots, promote accountability, and enhance team communication.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing.
Matt Drinkhahn paints a picture of despair transforming into hope that will hit you hard. I guarantee you’ll see yourself in these pages at least once. The Eternal Optimist is a must-read for any hard-charging person.
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book!
This book is a page-turner. Once I picked it up, I could not put it down until I finished it. It was a very easy, engaging story that had a powerful message that resonated with me: "It is never too late to change; and if you can't change your circumstances, you can change yourself!" Great job Matt! As a fellow author, I so admire your great writing style. You have a gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars Resilience in the Face of Change
This book masterfully explores the journey of navigating life's unpredictable challenges while pursuing one's dreams. It beautifully encapsulates the essence of adapting, learning from mistakes, and the importance of moving forward, offering invaluable lessons on resilience. A must-read for anyone seeking motivation in turbulent times.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very Real and Hits Close to Home
As I was reading the book, I started to have some very strong feelings about different characters and I couldn't figure out why. Then it dawned on me that so much of what is dramatized in this book is real because it parallels many scenes in my life. It is very hard to see the picture when you are in the frame; Matt's book made it possible to not only see the life I was leading but also the progress which I have made. I am sure there are many people out there who could read this book and have the same, relatable experience that I did.

This book is a fun read mixed with lessons that challenge us to question how we think and what we do in our own lives. I loved this book & will be recommending it to my friends!
5.0 out of 5 stars Poignant wake up call
This wasn’t the book I expected, but it was apparently the one I needed. This story has a way of helping you see things in yourself you had no idea were there. A wake up call for high achievers to consider perhaps they don’t have all the answers after all and to do something about it before it’s too late.
5.0 out of 5 stars Super Inspiring
Matt is one of the most ambitious, optimistic and grounded people I know. As a fellow entrepreneur, I've dealt with plenty of adversity, and I know I can turn to Matt for both wisdom and real-life examples of overcoming challenges and emerging better for it. I highly recommend this book!
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book!!
This book is amazing!! Eternal optimism is essential and Matt wrote an extraordinary book that’s great for readers of all ages!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Deeper than a parable has any right to be.
Matt weaves a tale with such elegance and grace that I found myself deeply moved, hurting, and cheering for the hero of the story and his family. I don't believe you can read the "Eternal Optimist" and not be affected by it as it challenges you to look at your own relationships, biases, and assumptions. I am hopeful all readers come out a little stronger and more grounded upon completion.
5.0 out of 5 stars Get ready to blast away your self defeating thought process
I know Matt Drinkhahn personally, quite well in fact- he’s been coaching me in business and in life for over 6 years. He understands the ‘irrationality of pessimism’ as well as anyone, get ready to jettison the excuses and negative self-talk. It’s no longer allowed! Great insights to a more productive life. Sandy S
