Carlos Wallace isn’t here to coddle you. He’s here to tell the truth as he’s lived it—and that truth hits hard. The Other 99 T.Y.M.E.S. is a collection of lessons told through lived experience, each one pointing back to a central theme: we spend too much time fixating on the one thing that went wrong and not nearly enough time honoring the 99 things that went right.

It’s not a workbook. There are no bullet points or checklists. The training Wallace offers is subtle but powerful: he tells you a story—sometimes funny, sometimes raw, sometimes heartbreaking—and lets the reframe emerge naturally. What would happen if you looked at your own life that way? What if you stopped dragging your pain into every room and started carrying your growth instead?

There’s a grit to this book I really appreciated. Wallace draws from his time in the Navy, his experience as an entertainment promoter, his roots in East Texas, and his journey through betrayal, family loss, and racial injustice. But he never lets bitterness take the wheel. His message is clear: perspective is a discipline. Gratitude is not passive—it’s trained.

You won’t find spiritual bypassing or toxic positivity in these pages. Just hard-won wisdom and the reminder that serenity is something you build. If you’re looking for a tactical guide, this might not be your book. But if you want to sit down with someone who’s seen some things, felt them deeply, and still chooses to rise with gratitude—you’ll find good company here.
