Jolt! by Phil Cooke is written along the lines of any number of books by John Maxwell. Comprised of 25 chapters crafted around 5 areas of life that could use a "jolt" (your direction; what matters; your potential; your heart; your future), Cooke encourages the reader to take the time and effort to improve their life.
Cooke is a professing Christ-follower but also a Hollywood producer. That combination allows him an interesting perspective on culture. Drawing from his media experiences, he offers a wide-ranging book that covers a broad set of topics. To support the various concepts he addresses, Cooke includes numerous quotations throughout the book.
As with any motivational book along the lines of Jolt!, this book offers an opportunity for self-improvement. However, there is nothing necessarily exceptional about Jolt! It's not that it is a poor read; it's that there is nothing in Jolt! that meets the back cover promise that the book "will revolutionize your thinking and shake up your life". While helpful, the jolts don't really "establish a new direction, maximize potential, overcome insecurity, and create an amazing future and legacy".
I reviewed Jolt! in conjunction with Thomas Nelson's Booksneeze program, was not compensated for this review and the opinions expressed are solely mine.
