Reviews

“Terry Hawkins is a positive force of nature. Let her enthusiasm and optimistic approach to life’s challenges rub off on you as you turn the pages. You’ll be a better person for having read this book.”
—Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The One Minute Manager and Great Leaders Grow

“I was about to take antidepressants to stop my spiral downward—then I was handed Why Wait to Be Great? I feel so empowered. It was like it was written just for me and everything I was going through.”
—Ishbel MacConnachie, Director of Studies, GoodStart Training College

“Possibly the best book I have read on overcoming depression, lethargy, negative self-talk, and more. Every high school student should be given a copy when he or she leaves school—skills for life.”
—Vivien Wornell, Social Worker/Counselor, St. George Private Hospital
