Putting the Rabbit in the Hat

 I chose "Putting the Rabbit in the Hat" by Brian Cox because I am interested in the life experiences of successful people and how they rose above adversity to reach their goals. As a college student, I believe that learning about the journeys of others can be inspiring and provide valuable lessons for my own life. Hearing the difficult journey successful people endure in order to become part of the 1% is motivating for me. 

I am enjoying the Brain Cox's book. Cox's writing style is engaging and allows me to get a sense of his unique personality. I find his vulgar language both amusing and engaging. In addition, I especially appreciate his honesty and openness in discussing both his triumphs and shortcomings. He has overcome unfortunate circumstances since his childhood, continuing to adapt to what the environment requires of him. I am excited to read more and hear more of his life stories.
