This book felt comfortingly British to me which made the self improvement process more attractive. His tools for self reflection are simple but cleverly visual. I liked his suggestions for reframing common spoken phrases to be affirmative and powerful. Lots of robust advice which I WILL put into practice. (No 'trying' allowed).

كتاب رائع جدا ، قرأته ايام الجامعة
ترك لدي تلك العادة ان كلما سألني احدهم كيف حالك
اقول ممتاز الحمد لله وهي مثيل brilliant

[Peter Hall · Rating 4 out of 5]

Brilliant? Maybe just fantastic. Worth a read only if you take action and do the exercises.

[Youssef Al-Aasar · Rating 5 out of 5]

That was magnificent. I highly recommend it to everyone.

[Raha Khrais · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not a strong book for people who understand goals, process of acheiving dreams and already have an amibitious life. Not going to deny i like some parts of the book but in general it didnt effect me.

[Praveenbalakris · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a simple easy to read self help book for the starters in personal development. Some of the concepts are not new to me but still gained good nuggets in each chapter along with brushing of these concepts.

Checklist given at the end of this book is useful and is the summary of the book too.

One major and easy implementation I did after I read the book is started saying “I am Brilliant” when someone asks “how r u ?” - it created a great difference!!

Other takeaways:
- Being good is not enough, you need to be raise your standards to be brilliant in all aspects of life by stepping up
- Whatever you read doesn’t matter, you need to take positive massive Action to grow

Finally a motivational self improvement book that wasn’t written by an American! I loved Michael Heppel’s honest, Norther, heartfelt style. He gives a plan for you to work on yourself over 90 days and tells you that action is the only way to succeed. He helps you identify values to guide you to a better life as well as how to overcome problems including by visualizing masterminds - asking famous people you admire what they would do. This book was written from the heart and offers genuine advice on how you can get the most out of your life.

While I don't often write posts on the various books I read, this was just too good of a book to leave without comment. "Brilliant" provides both the inspiration and the "how to" necessary to allow me to attempt two of my dreams. Here I go...

As audiobook. Would read again, lots of good ideas!

[Clair Kiffin · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to this on audible and I will likely listen to it again in a few months so that I can revisit my goals and see how I’ve got on.

[David Lillico · Rating 4 out of 5]

Will recommend to my team

[Rory · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve heard Michael speak and he’s great. His book is good but it was written a long time ago.
The advice is still true if you’re new to the concepts.

[Raha Khrais · Rating 2 out of 5]

i stopped reading after many chapters for maybe over 4 months! i didnt find it interesting since i read like these books in the beginning of my changed life. this book is not for people who already ambetious and have massiv goals its like it will be a boring and one of the repetitive books. not gonna say the book is total bad, i found some great stuff not going to deny that.

it is realy good to read it, being `good' isn't really good enough. We want to make the very best we can out of our lives - to achieve all we can achieve and be the best we can be. We want to be Brilliant.

It's brilliant and also funny

[Judi Mckay · Rating 4 out of 5]

Action oriented self help. Nothing really new but a good refresher read. Not sure it tells you how to be brilliant but it does tell you how to improve yourself. Useful checklist at back of book.

حتى تُصبح متألقا حَقا لا تنسى اصطحاب دفترك الخاص وقلمك قبل البدء في قراءة الكتاب ثم باشر هذه الرحله الممتعه واعتن بالتدريبات جيدا
إن فاتتك - مثلي - فرصة التدوين أولا بأول ستفيدك صفحة ١٦٨ من الكتاب في اختصار التدريبات التي عليك فعلها
كتاب شَيق وصفحاته قليله لكنّها امتازت بخلط الفكرة مع التطبيق العملي
فهو ليس ككتب التنمية البشرية الكثيره التي تضج باسترسال في الحديث وتنسى أن تقدم لنا الجانب العمَلي أو ما يجب فعله حالا - الآن-
استفدت من الكتاب
ولي عَودَة . باذن الله
