Rick began in the poverty of a two-bedroom home, with big dreams and low self esteem. Borrowing $1,000 from his Mom he founded and took one business to 400 employees by the time he was 26. He scaled another company into 6 states. At the same time he led a nonprofit expansion into 53 countries and added over a thousand staff. All in his 20’s and 30’s while dealing with personal and health issues. And even with terrorists threatening him. Now in his late 40’s, he advises some of the world’s most powerful families and for the first time reveals his simplified 9 Steps process.

My Review:
Walker is described as a philosopher and writes like one. This is not a book where you will find clearly presented action steps. Walker shares the lessons he has learned through experiences and he tells many of those experiences. His steps are presented within the context of story. He has a very imaginative way of communicating, one that I found required concentration to understand what he was saying. He often writes with incomplete sentences and frequently uses flowery language. Here is an example: “What could I learn by blending a drop of courage into a cup of competence?” (3395/4348)
This is a book for readers who would appreciate a round about way of communicating truth. While he draws from a variety of religious disciplines, there is an emphasis on Jesus Christ near the end. There are definitely life lessons to learn by reading this book. It just may take a little more contemplation and thought than one would normally think required in a book of this type.
My rating: 4/5 stars.
About the Author:
I began in the poverty of a two-bedroom home, with big dreams and low self esteem. And curiosity as my lone asset. Borrowing money from my Mom I founded and took one business to 400 employees by the time I was 26. I built another company into 6 states. At the same time I led a nonprofit expansion into 53 countries and added over a thousand staff. All in my 20’s and 30’s.
On the tough outside, I’m a shoot first, ask questions later type of guy. But inside, I still feel that imposter syndrome of a little boy growing up without any hope.
Others explain my work clearer. Former Secretary of HUD, Dr. Ben Carson, calls my writing “profound, refreshing.” Famed podcaster and pastor Paul VanderKlay says I’m “a doer, not a pontificator.” Navy SEAL and US Congressman Dan Crenshaw says I am “a leader and a truth-teller… a businessman, yes, but also a philosopher and a scholar…someone who has actually bothered to think original thoughts, a rarity in today’s literature.”
But more than that, I’m a man who’s been plunged into a life of love. A truer life than all the fleeting promises of competency, fame, and wealth. An existence richer than the circumstances of my past. Based on a search for higher wisdom, rather than living to selfishly serve my own future.
For years the world’s elite have asked me to begin putting some structure around how I think and live. To communicate the key steps from zero to meaning-filled living. So from their encouragement, and my desire to help others, I have documented the steps, self-improvement tools, and life turnaround principles which have brought me and countless others out of our deepest struggles and into a life of meaning. Now it’s your turn.
(My star ratings: 5-I love it, 4-I like it, 3-It's OK, 2-I don't like it, 1-I hate it.)
