I love Flip or Flop, and I adore Tarek! I was so excited to pick this up as soon as I saw it on NetGalley.

Overall, Flip Your Life delivered! It was exactly what I expected it to be. Tarek felt like a formal football player turned motivational speaker coaching me on how to “take massive action.” It was fun and easy to read, an equal mix of a self help/encouragement book and a manual on how to flip a house.

Readers who have enjoyed the television show, Flip or Flop like this book. After all the rumors and tabloid articles, it was interesting to read the real story. Tarak was brutally honest about his life struggles which will appeal to readers. Lots of worthwhile tips for others who may want to "redo" their lives.

I watched this show and loved the interaction between the (initially) married couple.

This book is not that - its kind of boring. Not sure this guy has enough "life" to write about it.

Tarek El Moussa narrates his well-written life story of dips and triumphs, valleys and hills, hitting rock bottom and finding the will to get back up.

Using real-estate terms about flipping lives as well as houses Tarek El Moussa delivers a dynamic story. I was engaged for page one.

Also, please do not skip the Appendix and author notes.

I think putting your best foot forward and always looking ahead not behind is such an important trait for any human being to have. Now, this is easier said than done, but something that we can all work on. Working and redefining ourselves is the epitome of being human. I think that sometimes we become so caught up on the hype and trying to please others before we please ourselves is so detrimental.

This author was able to bring out those lessons that we need to hear and learn in order to become our best selves!

I'd never heard of this guy but enjoy reading about real estate and fixing up homes. Tarek El Moussa was lively, likable, and intelligent and he brings the reader not only through building his successful house flipping company and subsequent television show, but gives tips on remodeling your life. Sometimes the analogies between house flipping and fixing your life were so forced they were a bit comical, but all in all, a fun self-help book.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wealth of information. Very entertaining.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

When I requested this book, I was thinking it would be more like Hard Pivot from Apolo Ohno but it wasn't. I don't know why but this felt more like bragging. In any case, the stories were entertaining enough although it was more like growing up as opposed to dramatic change. Many thanks for the opportunity to read the book.

Very predictable... another tale of working hard and getting lucky and shameless self promotion in the age of tv personalities and instagram. Someone who leads a charmed life now and wants to help others? and getting rich at it? Isn't this what Trump did and look where we are. As the author says, the books was as much for himself as who?
