Keep Going: The Art of Perseverance

This book was truly a wonderful read. From the very first pages,  I felt inspired, strengthened. I felt like 'grandfather, are you here with me as I deal with these experiences' as it clearly felt like it spoke directly to me and anyone going through challenges or simply needing inspiration, a boost of courage. It was both general enough to relate to many, yet felt specific enough to touch me on a personal level. It gave both specific tips and tools relevant to perseverance, as well as tapped into the emotional experience of what it's like and what it takes. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to all for inspiration   and specifically to those going through "valley times" as I call them, or challenges in life. Truly inspirational and heart warming, and a book that I will revisit time and time again over the course of my journey.

exceeded my expectations.very nice.

A short but sweet book that should be read by all. Important life lessons are to be learned from this.

I have become a big Joseph Marshall fan. This is small, short, but very very good. I can't rate it quite as high as "Returning to the Lakota Way" by the same author, because that book was very special. Still, the 4-star rating is quite close to the 5-star level. If you appreciate and can get deeper meaning from this style of "story telling," you'll appreciate this book greatly. Reviewers that leave low reviews for Mr. Marshall's books most likely are very concrete in their thinking and unable to grasp what's really being taught. Joseph Marshall has an extraordinary gift. Anyone that doesn't "get" his books (i.e. doesn't "get" a significant personal experience out of them), is sadly missing a wonderful opportunity.

Be more like the Lakota's. We have strayed so far from it as a nation and a world culture.This book is more than about persevering. It is about how the Lakota's treat family, friends, and everyone else. They are so in tune with accepting others as they are, helping each other out and dealing with life. They understand nature is part of the whole and not something that should be abused. They sound like our forefathers' when they came to America and how we used to act as a nation--hard working, respectful and thankful for what they have.I highly recommend this book for anyone to read just not those going through a hard time in life.I have sent this book to one friend and a CD to another I think so much of it and they both love what it is all about.

This book is VERY uplifting and I reccomend for ALL ages. I have come to love long before this book the native american teachings. Not only have I ordered copies for my friends, but I also read this book to my 5 year old son because he really understands the stories and hopefully retains the great values in this book. It is very short (just under 100 pages) but has far surpassed the value of a book over 1000 pages that I have read from inspirational speakers and even pastors. Pushing forward even if just one more step than you think you can handle. This book has a GREAT way of explaining why life is not easy but the journey and hardships is what shapes our charecter to be strong individuals.

Excellent book by one of my favorite authors. I bought a few copies for friends who lost a loved one and they said that it helped them with their healing. I highly recommend.

A MUST read! Inspirational. My fav read!

I love this simple but powerfully inspiring little book - one to keep and read and re-read when the going gets rough. Joseph Marshall tells a story to illustrate the art of perseverance which I found easier to absorb when under stress than the 'to do' list beloved of so many self-help books.

Great book really fill your spirit with all needed wisdom. I would recommend this book when you are feeling down or when your mind filled with self doubt s

A fantastic author I am familiar with, I buy everything he writes. Arrived at the speed of light well packed and pristine, Thank you
