The Entrepreneurial Librarian's Take

Womack does not use sugar-coated language. He says what we need to hear. Often books are filled with abstract language and complex equations, but Your Best Just Got Better is different. Womack takes the reader's hand and explore 3 different, yet similar aspects to improve you based on his over ten years of his experience. For those that continuously believe that the world has dealt them a bad “hand” or they just “can't win,” this book enables readers to take the reins of their life and produce “better.” Even if it is just 15-20 minutes, readers should visit Jason Womack's YouTube page and find out how to be even better than your best.
