A motivational program for getting the most out of your job, your marriage and family life, and your community. Learn and understand the habit of thinking and behaving in ways that will get you there.
Very, very practical. While reading the book, I did the exercises, especially the 30-Day plan. It works - I'm not to 30 days yet, and I have achieved or am achieving my list.
One of the best Leadership, personal growth book I have ever read. A must read before interviewing for a job. Better yourself and improve your self-esteem and personal performance.
This book shows how your thoughts become words, and words when given emotion can change your life. It reminds me of Napolean Hills "Think and grow rich".
I really like that this book provides some short lists of actions to take to improve the way I think about things. The lists include items to help improve your success through interaction with other people, managing your own thoughts, moving your self toward being action oriented, and more. I'm planning to keep my copy as a reference and potentially even create study cards of some of the lists.
Also, if you're in a hurry, each chapter has a summary of the main points and actions at the end. You could just read those and refer to the chapter if you need additional information to understand the point.
