I recommend this book for those which are needing a boost of confidence and to start learning to organize their daily activities. Best idea from it : the work is just an aspect of your life, family first.

I liked this. Inspiring book about what makes people exceptional. In a nutshell: exceptional people don't talk about what they could or might do, they get on with it. I want to be one of those.

a great book. inspiring but can i take up the challenge at the end of the book to put words into action? theories without practical application is worthless. that’s me. sadly.

Having read the book on influencing, wanted to read the author's previous book. Initially published as 'the extra one per cent', this books gives a holistic approach of how you can enjoy what you do and still earn sufficiently to further chase your dreams. He says exceptional people stay positive all the time and act with authenticity and courage. They are highly networked and also awe inspiring. Finally they have a strong vision on what they want to do in life and act with purpose. Nothing new in all these findings but it is good to get reiterated so that one remains focused. Well worth a read.

I expected a lot from this after reading 'i is for Influence', but to say it is not of the same calibre is an understatement. I suspect this is because his former book had Robert Cialdini's excellent 'Influence, The Psychology of Persuasion' to use as a template.
