Book Review: "Capital Gaines: Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff" by Chip Gaines
Are you looking for a book that shows the high and lows of life and is written on an easy to read level?
"Capital Gaines: Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff" by Chip Gaines is the book that will quench your thirst. If you are looking for a great book, it is a good, easy read. "Capital Gaines: Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff" tells the life of Chip Gaines who completes home remodeling and is a co-star on TV show “Fixer Upper.” He tells of all the trials and tribulations he went through to become who he is now. He explores the concepts of religion, work, family, and how his failures helped him grow as a person. Gaines’ accord of his life earned him the title of being on the New York Times Best Sellers List. Amazon reviewer Katherine said, “I’ve been angry with Chip and Jo. They made me love them and now they’re leaving me. Now that I’ve read Chips book, I get it. I admire his priorities and that he’s kept them in focus throughout the fast and crazy rise of Fixer Upper. I forgive you two. I will always love you. Make it a happy life.”
You might not be caught up in the TV life of Chip and Joanna Gaines like Katherine was, but this book will inspire you to be the best you can be and to not let the small things in life hinder you into becoming the great person God made you to be. Gaines’ book is full of life lessons that everyone can learn from. I highly recommend this book for anyone who feels stagnant in life or to someone who feels like they are at an all time high in life. In either scenario, this book will shape your perspective on life to motivate you to keep pushing yourself to not stand content in where you are in life. If you’re worried about the Coronavirus and breaking quarantine, Amazon can get this book to your doorstep in two days. Don’t let a pandemic get in the way of you bettering yourself.
