Some early raves...
An inspired and inspiring work.
"Pushing the Boundaries" should be on everyone’s ‘must read’ list for this year. It’s an inspired and inspiring work that compels you to examine your life choices and motivates you to be the best version of yourself through the sheer power of the stories he shares. Peter Jennings is a master at attracting diverse, unique interviewees and "Pushing the Boundaries" is no exception. It will renew your faith in humanity. You will come away uplifted and inspired to live life to the fullest, take leaps of faith, make a difference in the world and push your own boundaries.
- Cindy Watson, author (Out of Darkness: the Jeff Healey Story)
A Real Page Turner!
A unique collaboration of wide ranging diversity brought together to inspire, stir your soul and leave you yearning for more of, and for, yourself. The author takes us on a journey through discussions with extraordinary and ordinary people who lead varied lives. Pushing the Boundaries instills the certainty that not only should you “color outside the lines” but the belief that you can. - Carrie Trip, author (anothercocktailplease.com)
A master interviewer and storyteller.
No one dares avoid this book. Here are groundbreakers, icons, daredevils, innovators, mavericks and champions – some are celebrated, others not – but most are those men and women defiant and confident enough to tell the rest of the world to go to hell, and then live to talk about it. And here are their profiles delivered first-hand by a master interviewer and storyteller. Peter Jennings clearly admires his sources. As a life-long communicator, he has pushed a few boundaries himself. But knowing that we want more than just a shopping list of character sketches and achievements, he also takes us to the living rooms, across the desks and into the faces of these over-achievers, who reveal their strengths (and a few weaknesses), their secrets, and their view of the world in language we can all appreciate and understand. - Ted Barris, author (tedbarris.com)
Inspiring. Thought-provoking.
Reading 'Pushing The Boundaries' was a rollercoaster of emotions. Inspiring. Thought-provoking. Unbelievable. Through Peter's relentless pursuit, he has captured the true essence of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. It gives us hope that we can overcome any adversity. So honoured to be a part of this. - Yvonne Heath, author (Love Your Life To Death)
An inspirational read.
It's 32 chapters of inspiration! I found Peter Jennings recent release “Pushing the Boundaries” to be a very inspirational read. Each chapter is devoted to individuals who, despite the challenges life has presented them with, have overcome the odds and made the most of their lives. They believed in themselves, they achieved what they set out to do, and they have all given back and inspired others to do the same. Peter talks to individuals from all walks of live and develops an easy rapport (very reminiscent of Brian Linehan’s style) with each individual he interviews. In today’s challenging climate it is really life affirming to read about - and be inspired by - others who have overcome obstacles to live without fear and embrace the best that life has to offer. - Carol Prescott, Public Service Facilitator, Information Services, Barrie Public Library
A roadmap to attaining new horizons.
In his enviable writing and interviewing style, Peter is able to capture and document the qualities possessed by those who reach inspirational goals. Through a wide range of personalities and accomplishments, he challenges us to dig deep to evaluate how our approach to overcoming obstacles measures up. An enjoyable read and a roadmap to attaining new horizons. - JRM (reader)
Feels like I'm part of the conversation: I love that.
I love Peter's casual writing style and the ensuing conversations that go back and forth between him and the interviewee. As a reader, it makes me feel like I’m sitting down with the two of them and am part of the conversation. I love that. It makes me feel included and with that statement, likely important, because I’ve been invited in. I also enjoyed the summations of each chapter at the end of the book. The lessons learned became a clear, concise synopsis - kind of like a road map that one could take away and perhaps incorporate some of the lessons into one’s own life. - SW (reader)
Helps me take charge of my life.
Inspiring. Astonishing. In ‘Pushing The Boundaries’, Peter has captured ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and their examples help me take charge of my life in a whole new way. His delightful, personal writing style and expertise in research and interviewing are on full display here. - RM (reader)
Very impressed by the range of voices.
"I read the material with engagement and interest. Very impressed by the range of voices and inspiring stories you have managed to assemble and by the meaningful and inspiring messages communicated by each." - Elizabeth Sheinkman, Senior Agent, Peters Fraser+Dunlop
I love your positive attitude and ironic tone.
"From a literary point of view there is no need to say that is a very well done job, it is obvious that you have a good experience in writing, interviewing, collecting information and transforming it into a motivation for your public. I love your positive attitude and your ironic tone which can always steal smiles." - Ginevra Grasso, Editor, Europe Books
