“There’s a secret to mastery that you may have never heard, a single little thing that only the very best in the world know how to do. In fact, I believe it is the only thing anyone can do to gain true mastery at anything, and it’s an equal opportunity principle. It can be applied to fulfill your potential in business, in sports, in your relationships, as well as your overall life. Do you want to know what it is?” In the crowd, Jason leaned forward, laser focused. Kicked off his basketball team after a season-ending fight, his only chance to play ball again was to sell enough books door-to-door over the summer to get back on the team. He never needed wisdom like he needed it now. But little did he know that the answer he was seeking was about to change his life forever…Pound The Stone is the intense and inspiring story of a young man’s journey through the obstacles, defeats, and eventual victories that come while developing grit on the path to mastery. Told in the same engaging fable style as Chop Wood Carry Water, this is a deeper dive into the timeless principles that guide and inspire anyone who seeks greatness in life, and covers everything from true success, to the perfection trap, the value of failure, why courage is contagious, and why vulnerability can save your life. Pound The Stone will move you, inspire you, and hopefully encourage you to choose love and courage over fear and shame.

Very awesome book!
I first read it in 2019, and learned a lot of valuable lessons. I've now read it 3 times and it never gets old. It's changed my life and needs a 6th star. Great job!

Great book!
This book is a fun and easy read that’s incredibly perfect for teenagers and adults alike. Truly. As an 44 year old entrepreneur and avid reader of leadership books, this book has a fun and engaging story and even though it’s an easy read, its messages are powerful and impactful. The author has a masterful way of incorporating many different lessons and real life wisdom within this book! I highly recommend reading this and getting one for all the young adults in your lives too.

POUND THE STONE WELL DONE BUY IT
This is a great read it has some very sound principles that Joshua brings out in some great Characters. The book centers around 7 principle items but you don't feel like you reading some sort of THIS IS HOW. The characters draw you in and I know they were created from real life people and experience. I am blessed that Joshua decided to write a stand alone. This is a great book for Coaches, parents, most of all for young athletes. This book can also be used to help guide young folks in the corporate America seeting. I have read all the books this author has written this is by far my favorite. I would also recommend that you seek out the seminars or take the reading challenge that Joshua has out there. With that said I am onto the next book that Joshua has conauthoeed on Copoeate America. I am going to keep pounding my Stone and it will break.

Good book, worth the time.
I am not a huge fan of parables, but Josh did really good with this one. There is no doubt you will get caught up in the story and wonder what's next. This would be a great book for your high school son or daughter. The lessons are valuable!!

Great book! Now on my "must read and read again list"!
Loved this book! It was recommended to my by my son as the 2nd book to read after finishing "Chop Wood, Carry Water", by the same author. This is one of those books that's an easy read, but makes you think as you go thru it. I reflected a lot about my own life and how I treat others and run my business. The bottom line is - We can ALL do better! If God has given us gifts, we need to use them. I am a fan of "Think and Grow Rich", "The Four Agreements" and "The Greatest Salesman in the World". If you liked any of these or value their lessons, you need to add this to your list!

Wow! Why on earth didn’t I find this book 20 years ago, it’s all good! I found it now. Well done Josh, I just found you not too long ago....Chop Wood was recommended to me by an MMA athlete I was inspired by not too long ago-James Krause- he kept mentioning Chop Wood Carry Water, and I had to investigate what he contributed to as his success! The process, the process, the process....go figure! Doing the unexceptional things exceptionally well puts you leaps and bounds ahead of others not willing to do the unsexy easy things that are easier not to do. Huh, look at that, I learned that in your books! I’m 35! Still learning, love it brother! Thank you. Very Respectful Tim E.

I will ensure that my children read this as well as my future grandchildren and friends. Thank you for this Book.

Inspirational and supportive- helped me so much
Thank you Joshua for making a business model book such a pleasure to read. I am a mature woman with a highly successful career in the public sector who has thrown herself into social networking with little success...now I know what to do and what not to do!
