claims to be the ultimate transformational guide while in reality it just offers the basics. Nothing new that I did not know.

Easy To Read.

I like how this book was easy to read. It broke it down in categories, giving examples only when it helped to describe the topic. It explained things in a way that encouraged, and gave insight, and not in a negative way. Got a few good ideas.

It’s okay

It’s okay. It was a easy read with one or two good ideas here and there. No fluff in the book which made it easy to breeze through the chapters.

interesting

This book is different and interesting. The author uses non traditional and creative words throughout the book yet it made reading a little difficult.

There are ten well organized chapters, mostly about self management and having a winning attitude. I think there's some valuable information here, like getting a breakthrough on mastering your own attitude is everything. Next, the author tackles effective and doable to-do lists to incorporate a healthy self discipline. I like that the author makes an important point in taking small breaks and learning to outsource, delegate tasks to the right people if you're a successful business leader. What I enjoyed most about the book was the underlying importance of tuning out distractions and ignoring them. Make it a habit to stay calm is a good mantra to have for oneself. It's true, we will have trials come our way but having good health makes it easier for you to think positive thoughts and help you to go onward, despite adversities in life. I like the book and the author seems to share form his heart the tried and true lessons he has learned in life that work for him.

Good information but ....

This book contains some good information but it definitely needed a better editor. Many typos and words used incorrectly challenged its credibility. Not sure I would read another book by this author.

Nothing new

Good starter for someone who has done little research on this topic. Yet, little research is all it takes to know what this book says.

Great motivating book. Ok, reading it feels like you should be a robot. But, the message is clear and crisp. I like the style of writing. It is a short book and to the point.
