Taking Life Head On! (The Hal Elrod Story): How To Love The Life You Have While You Create The Life of Your Dreams Paperback – November 8, 2012

Hal Elrod is the greatest motivational teacher I’ve ever come across. I love Stephen Covey’s writings, as well as Zig Ziglar and other predecessors, but something about Hal’s story— knowing that he really did apply these concepts in the toughest situations— gives me extra respect and faith that they really do work. From the first time I heard him say, “Truth always prevails,” he had me.I’ve heard other self-help gurus say, “Do this and it will work,” only it didn’t. Which made me feel like there are a lot of snake oil sellers out there. But Hal is for real. And every time I read his writings or listen to him on a podcast, I get reinspired. I feel like God dropped him into my life just when I needed him most.This book is so inspiring, and I’m so glad I read it!!

Hal Elrod tells how life changed forever after a head on collision with a drunk driver. His attitude and Faith and perseverance not only allowed him to overcome crippling injuries, but also to reenter and enjoy a fullness of life. Much practical advice on how to view the bad and the good that happens, and how to maximize those things that are under one’s control in order to keep life happy, even when things that we can’t control get in the way. An excellent book.

It is a true story told that takes you into it. It fills you with faith, the desire to fight, to see further and above your problems. To read the book is to know that God has Wao, purpose with everything. That closes some doors for you to open greater ones full of Blessings. It is knowing that those who would subtract from you move away and those who will truly join you to Bless you join you. It's lovely!!

The Hal Elrod story is an empowering one, full of hopes and positive vibes, a life story that can be read breathlessly.

Short but inspiring read about Elrod’s life altering car accident and the difficult but inspiring recovery that followed. Elrod details the recovery from TBI that he sustained in a car accident with candor, optimism and a healthy sense of humor. The book follows the general premise of focusing on the things we can change and doing our best despite the circumstances. An interesting and inspiring memoir

If you've come across this book, BUY IT - it is well worth it. My son in college saw Hal at an event and was REALLY enthused with his story and recovery. Seeing this, I just had to read it, and liked it so much, I ordered myself a copy. It is in my favorites. As a mom, I found this book incredibly INSPIRING, easy to read, written well, and well worth it. Makes me wish I could meet Hal myself. Hal's philosophy can be life changing. Any reader will enjoy this, even those who aren't big readers, will also find this book worthwhile. Congratulations to Hal for being so positive in this book, and giving hope to so many through sharing his REMARKABLE story. Note - I bought this book at a regular price, not signed with marked-up pricing from a different seller. However, if I saw Yo Pal Hal, I would buy the signed book from HIM.

5 stars for Hal Elrod! Taking Life Head On! is an amazing story of Hal's journey from being a young man in a near fatal car accident to becoming a nationally acclaimed sales person to becoming an author, and motivational speaker. After reading this book you will have no excuses not to get after your dreams. Hal is a true inspiration. I have heard Hal speak in person multiple times; he is the real deal. Get this book. You won't regret it!

I really love Hal’s outlook on life and choosing to be happy & look at the positive side of things despite the hand he has been dealt.
