Cool Stuff Book Reviews

From the moment I opened the package, I was captivated by the thoughtful design and the anticipation of the wisdom within its pages. As I delved into the contents, I was met with an extraordinary collection of reflections and stories from your own remarkable life. Your experiences, shared with such authenticity, added a personal touch that made the book even more special.
The inclusion of quotes from famous personalities was a brilliant touch, adding depth and perspective to each page. It's like a treasure trove of wisdom and inspiration, and I know I will find myself returning to it whenever I need a boost of motivation or a moment of contemplation.

Cool Stuff… In her book Cool Stuff we are introduced to Donna Chiacchia the person and Donna the woman who founded 1Advantage Consulting with the purpose to help others realize their dreams of making a difference in this world. Donna compellingly brings the reader into what matters to her and to many others—her faith, her family, her friends, and admired people throughout history. The book could not be more personal as Donna addresses her parents, her extended family and her friends. Anyone working (or friends) with Donna will instantly recognize and appreciate Donna in the book and the book in Donna.

I think Donna's latest project, "Cool Stuff" is both fun and inspirational. I left it on my desk like a box of chocolates for a couple weeks, taking little 2-3 minutes "bites" between tasks. Each bite had wisdom or humor or heart - some had all three. Like a box of candy, this would be a nice gift.

"Cool Stuff" is a sweet compilation of Donna's stories, complemented by inspiring quotes and visuals that made me smile. Her faith and devotion to her parents were special to read about. The book is full of wisdom and warmth. And puppies. 😊"

This is a very touching book that gives a glimpse into the life and mind of Donna Chiacchia. She bares her soul to the reader and as a reader you find yourself becoming more and more endeared to her. If you know Donna this is a fantastic way to get to know her better. If you don't Donna this is a wonderful way to meet her.
