About the author
Dalai Lama XIV
1,553 books6,193 followersJetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso (born Lhamo Döndrub), the 14th Dalai Lama, is a practicing member of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism and is influential as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, the world's most famous Buddhist monk, and the leader of the exiled Tibetan government in India.
Tenzin Gyatso was the fifth of sixteen children born to a farming family. He was proclaimed the tulku (an Enlightened lama who has consciously decided to take rebirth) of the 13th Dalai Lama at the age of two.
On 17 November 1950, at the age of 15, he was enthroned as Tibet's ruler. Thus he became Tibet's most important political ruler just one month after the People's Republic of China's invasion of Tibet on 7 October 1950. In 1954, he went to Beijing to attempt peace talks with Mao Zedong and other leaders of the PRC. These talks ultimately failed.
After a failed uprising and the collapse of the Tibetan resistance movement in 1959, the Dalai Lama left for India, where he was active in establishing the Central Tibetan Administration (the Tibetan Government in Exile) and in seeking to preserve Tibetan culture and education among the thousands of refugees who accompanied him.
Tenzin Gyatso is a charismatic figure and noted public speaker. This Dalai Lama is the first to travel to the West. There, he has helped to spread Buddhism and to promote the concepts of universal responsibility, secular ethics, and religious harmony.
He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, honorary Canadian citizenship in 2006, and the United States Congressional Gold Medal on 17 October 2007.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
This book has some useful and practical ideas and is accompanied by simplistic drawings to help support the process of these ideas and goals to help bring them into practice.
I enjoyed this book and will try some of the ideas out.

I have been a goal-driven person all of my life coming from a sales background following advice from authors like Brian Tracy and Zig Ziglar. Goal Mapping by Brian Mayne is great for creating visual aids to keep you focused on your goals. Brian using his personal experience takes you step by step through the goal mapping process. Brian doesn't just tell you how to Map out goals he is right there with you showing you how to map out goals. Without the map how would you know where you are going? Thank you, Brian!

Quite good overall. This is a pretty powerful, simple, and effective approach and should work for almost anyone. There's nothing new here, but it's put together in a very effective way. Maybe I've read too many books like this because much of it I've heard before, but that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile or effective. Many of the quotes includes are superb.
Thanks very much for the review copy!!

I love Brian Mayne's down to earth style in presenting his take on the Law of Attraction and how to manifest goals.
He's taken the best of LoA philosophy and repackaged it expertly to appeal to more grounded and less spiritually focused group of readers. In so doing he's opened the LoA up to businesses who seem to be successfully applying his principles and energizing their businesses.

Help through setting up goals and planning them, and some help going through the goals. Different topics and ideas looked at and see what would work with you. Does have a main goal setup the author uses so you don’t multiple goal getting ideas thrown at you.

So much more than just goal mapping!

Mi sono fidata dei commenti letti in rete, pur essendo diffidente verso i libri e le tecniche di auto-motivazione.
Il libro in effetti è chiaro, illuminante, ha delle basi scientifiche e non promette soluzioni miracolose, quindi lo trovo realistico.
Sto mettendo in pratica quanto imparato, ma già durante la lettura ho cambiato velocemente il modo di vedere e di rapportarmi con tutte le piccole cose che affrontiamo ogni giorno.

A fun book, I enjoyed the read. The author's charts are a little simplistic, and I'm not sure if the writer has anything startling new to say.
Still,he presents his ideas about how to achieve your goals in a simple, well-laid out format. I've written down a couple of things the author said to quote him later, and the book is interspersed with a bunch of thoughtful quotes from other sources.

This book annoyed me on a number of fronts. One: hardly an original thought in it. Two: any tosser can fill a book with "inspirational" quotes, and this had hundreds scattered everywhere to the point that they meant absolutely nothing. If you ask me, Brian Tracey ("a good friend of mine") and Tony Buzan should sue the author for plagiarism.

Very open minding. I have to say that I've been forced to buy this book. But after the alter-ego things I realized that I need this book to punch my face about setting up my own dream. Live is short, so make most of it!

As someone very interested in mind-mapping, this book was a great find, a true gem!
