The best book I've found for mental training!!. Simple. Easy to read. I love this book!

Excellent book. I just finished this book, what a great inspiration on every page. This is one of those books that you just can’t put down. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to push themselves to greatness.

Amazing. I read this book in one sitting and couldn't stop. I learned so much and will recommend this to everyone I know or has problems in their life that is mainly cause by the man in the mirror.

All About the Journey. Having previously read "Burn Your Goals," I was excited to finally read this book. While the concepts and lessons are similar to "Goals," the fictional story told in "Chop" personifies a young man's transformation without cumbersome story development. This made for a pretty quick and engaging read, with the lessons obviously stated, so the reader can quickly apply them without having to sift it from a hefty novella. I appreciated this direct, yet elegant and effective delivery. As for the content itself, it's priceless. Both books have me not only re-evaluating how I act and think, but making worthwhile changes and enjoying the positive results. The message is fairly simple, but because behaviors need modified it takes more than a quick meme to facilitate real change. I intend to re-read some chapters as needed to reinforce my transformation (stubborn, hard-wired mind!), and I look forward to other works by both Medcalf and Jamie Gilbert to continue this enlightening journey. Bravo!

So good. If you have any desire to be better at any thing in life, you need to read this book. So many fantastic nuggets of wisdom.

GM. I lead a Software Development organization and this book has wonderful application to help me lead our team as we strive to be a world-class development team. Very well done!

So many gems. A great read. Start to finish in a day.

Mr.. Joshua Medcalf weaves his engaging story-telling skills throughout Chop Wood Carry Water's parable about John's journey to become a samurai archer under the tutelage of the wise sensei Akira. The advice John receives from Akira reveal many of Joshua Medcalf's life-giving and heart-changing lessons to improve the trajectory of your life. I have been blessed to hear Joshua Medcalf speak to groups of athletes six times and each time I have witnessed the transformational impact he has had on hundreds and hundreds of student-athletes. Medcalf weaves many of those same life-changing stories into Chop Wood Carry Water. This book speaks to today's youth about the importance and necessity of hard work, attention to detail, developing a growth mindset, overcoming obstacles, patience and attitude. Throughout these valuable lessons Medcalf stresses the important role his Christian faith has played in his journey. I gave Chop Wood Carry Water to my 18 year old son for Christmas. Not only did he read it in one setting, but I now hear him quote lessons from the book when talking about challenges he faces. I highly recommend Chop Wood Carry Water as a valuable resource that will speak to your heart and improve the trajectory of your life and positively impact the lives of others.

Amazing read!. Small but incredibly impactful book! Joshua Medcalf does it again!!

Inspiring for all ages. This is an easy read. It could be shared with young kids. More now than ever, they need to learn that instant gratification is not sustainable. Focus, dedication, passion, hard work, and consistency are part of the process to accomplish goals

Amazing Read for Business Leaders and Parents of Young Athletes. Great storyline from Joshua this book is a great read practical, makes you think and address where your at with process. The author ties a lot of real life situations to the character I highly recommend this for business leaders as you launch 2016!! JOB Well done don't wait start the journey!!!

Great Book!! Mind Changing!!. This book has changed my thinking around the idea of being great. Im a coach and it has changed my thought process on how to approach people who don’t understand the journey to becoming great!! On a personal note, this book has got me though sometimes of me doubting my journey. It was an instruction manuel how to deal with doubting my journey.

True success is within this book. Been a college basketball coach for 16 years and have read so many books and heard so many people talk on these subjects but Joshua Medcalf does an amazing job of using simple to understand and powerful analogies and ideas to help you toward success. Too many great thoughts and ideas to even mention here. A must read for anyone who wants success in their mission in life. You are missing out if you don't read this book.

Coach/Entrepreneur. This book is a GameChanger in sport and in LIFE! Thanks Joshua for sharing.

Overcome your obstacles and achieve greatness. This is one of the most insightful principle filled books you could read. When I am a head coach again, I promise to have my team read it together. The points are timeless and immediately helpful. I dare you to try and put this down once you begin readings. It is a very easy read for anyone! Joshua brings the principles and lessons to life through story mode as you follow a young adult through their journey of becoming a Samurai archer. I didn't think I was big into stories, but I was sold after I began, and I'm glad I did. The best part is that the author is a genuine human being; he is not some big star that really doesn't care and is inaccessible. I have never met him in person, but I could instantly tell he is the real deal. Thanks for providing me with insight - I hope to teach my children and help develop their character through means like Chop Wood carry water. Blessings to all

After that pick up extra copies for those you lead...they will be grateful you did.
