John Sautelle’s Choose Your Stories, Change Your Life is a book that will help you reflect on your life, the decisions you make, and the path you take. The author writes about basic things that people indulge in daily. As he discusses the various topics, the author created characters and gave them traits that defined their personalities to help the reader understand human behavior. I enjoyed reading about the characters and had a few that I considered favorites at the end of the reading. John Sautelle’s characters appear real in every sense and even had me compare some of them to characters I know in real life.

John Sautelle’s narrates the stories engagingly, making the reader feel like part of the discussion. The conversations among characters are interesting and feel authentic. Looking at the characters, one gets to understand why people around us tend to behave the way they do. Some people are easy to talk with while others have some unique traits that need a little understanding. On working with difficult people, the reader learns that the only way that you can make one change or improve their behavior is by tenderly communicating. There are different ways of communication and the channel one uses can determine the outcome of a conversation.

The reader also gets informed about being responsible for whatever they do. Making plans is one thing but fulfilling them is a different story. Many people get to write down their goals, but how many actually achieve their set targets? The author helps you understand why you do not see through the annual resolutions you make, and how you can change that. As an adult, the author reminds us that to be successful you have to be committed. Fate may have something in store for you but be the one to choose your dreams.

Choose Your Stories, Change Your Life is an invigorating self-help book that will help you on your self-improvement journey. Through the characters George, Lili, Jan, and Stefan, the reader gets to experience real challenges that people face. I appreciate the author’s characters selection as each of them was unique. Some characters teach one about patience, others about having a forgiving heart, while others make one feel confident with themselves. You need to take your time when reading this book as the author has several vital teachings that can help you navigate the challenges you face in life. The book makes you understand that life is a process and you need to take one step at a time.
