The Jackrabbit Factor [book review]

This 5-Minute Personal Growth Book Review was submitted by guest reviewer, Terri Zwierzynski.

Occasionally a book comes along that you just know you are going to keep, and read over and over again.

Many famous books teach the concept that what you THINK is more important than what you DO: Think and Grow Rich, The Power of Positive Thinking, Rich Dad Poor Dad. The Jackrabbit Factor: Why You Can, by Leslie Householder, belongs on your bookshelf right alongside these classics. With a mesmerizing style that draws you in, this book is an easy and compelling read, and a clever use of a story to explain the Law of Attraction.

The Jackrabbit Factor tells the tale of a young father (Richard) who wants badly to make a comfortable life for his wife (Felicity) and son — and just can’t understand why his much-less-hard-working brother enjoys such easy successes, while he toils away. Even when he takes his brother’s advice to “do this” or “try that”, things just never seem to work out.

One day, he storms out of the house in frustration. With nowhere else to go, he takes a walk into the woods and eventually collapses into an exhausted sleep — a “power nap” that will change his fortunes forever. As Felicity has her own breakdown of sorts, Richard enters a dreamland full of encounters with cleverly-named characters, each with a lesson for him to learn.

This book can truly be a life-changing experience for the reader. I can’t wait to re-read it often and, at the right moment, share it with my children.
