Book Review: "You Look So Much Better In Person" By Al Roker

This reminds me that we are all human and we all have a contribution to make in today's world.

Whether that requires a 'how to manual' is not truly necessary but it does require intellect, talent, openness, honesty, a bit of comedy, a pleasant personality, a great outlook, and a never ending tenacity to keep pushing forward.

I love the fact that Al discussed with sincerity his emotions because for men it's not always an easy thing to do as he's let his guard down to showcase his path to personal success which was brilliant and encouraging for all of us who are struggling today.

From co-parenting to starting his own company, to being able to do what so many don't-LISTENING- while trying to at least on the outside appear -socially involved- even though it's not always something we wish to conduct in our varied professions.

It's this knack to understand one another, to be social, to be outgoing, to be worthy of giving and receiving that's always fascinated me about him.

The fact he was of a different race may have created barriers, the fact he was overweight, and now has a shiny bald head also may have worked against him, but non of this matters because what he holds within outshines any obstacle he may face or has faced.  Never judge a book by its cover!

Al has always kept it real, he's the original, he's kept us laughing, smiling, and daring to challenge ourselves growing and developing beyond our comfort zone.
Labels such as just a 'weatherman' means nothing today when success comes calling.

Your goal is not to simply get through life but to live life and my friends he lives it well with dignity and comfort!

Much love to Al as I can't possibly know about racial inequality or the stressors that come with the job but I can relate to being authentic, possessing empathy, and understanding with compassion.

I thank him for always bringing a smile to my face -and keep being genuine- AL! We love it!!

Thank you to Al, the pub, NetGalley, and Amazon Kindle for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.
