The Pelsers

A Shelter for the Heart

By Amanda Pelser

Book Review: Up, Down, or Sideways By Mark Sanborn

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my full disclosure statement here.

Several years ago, I was introduced to Mark Sanborn's books at a conference for work.  I devoured You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader. I loved it so much that I used it for the devotional portion of our ladies retreat for work that year.  Mark's blog has been a staple in my Google Reader for many years now.

Mark just released his latest book: Up, Down, or Sideways.  Take a look at these trailers to get a feel for what the book is about:

Where are you in life right now?  Are you in a good place and moving up?  Are you in a so-so place and holding steady?  Are you having troubles and finding things around you sinking?  Up, Down, or Sideways reveals timeless principles for living that apply to you no matter where you are.

Mark's audience is primarily the business community, but his principles relate to all areas of life.  Even as a stay at home mom and homeschooling mom found this book a welcome reminder of how I need to think and act.  It helped me evaluate my definition of success and how I measure my success.

I enjoy Mark's simple (but not simplistic) writing style.  Up, Down, or Sideways is a quick and easy read at 165 pages, but it is packed full of timeless truth for life and business.

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book through the Tyndale Blog Network in exchange for an honest review.
