Permission to Dream by Chris Gardner, MIM Eichler-Rivas

challenging hopeful inspiring slow-paced

3.0

the whole book can be summarized like this: if you play your cards right and have the right people on your team, you can do anything. it has some great perspective from a man who has seen so many different sides of life (he lived on the streets with his son but also counts obama and maya angelou and nelson mandela as his friends) but it was repetitive at times. most of the book is told through the anecdote of being downtown chicago with his granddaughter which was interesting but maybe could have been side stepped to get to the meat of his memoir. overall, glad i read it. some good content and things to keep in mind with my students especially.
