This book is based on transcripts of Jim Rohn's lectures. Those who have watched some of his lectures on youtube will find the same inspirational and powerful energy when reading this book. The book contains some of his most popular lectures on time management, personal development, leadership, goal setting and communication. Many of his lectures are timeless success philosophies which made him the foremost personal achievement philosopher who inspired millions.
Some of my favourite statements from this book:
Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.
What you become is far more important than what you get. The important question to ask on your job is not, "What am I getting?" Instead, you should ask, "What am I becoming?" What you become directly influences what you get.
To have more than you've got, become more than you are.
Most people are trying to get through the day. I've got a better objective for you. Learn to get from the day. Not just get through it, get from it. Soak it up.
Each day is a piece of the mosaic of your life. don't waste any. Treat it with care.
See how much you can get from a day - how much advice, how much information, how much colour, how much sight and sound to add to your worth and your wealth and your equity of mind.
Develop the skill to respond, the ability to be affected by what you see and hear and sense.
Success is not just knowledge. Success is response to knowledge. Success is not just experience. Success is emotion created from experience.
Goals are like a magnet - they pull. And the stronger they are, the more purposeful they are, the bigger they are, the more unique they are, the stronger they pull.

It's been a long time that I read such a high quality book and I read it from beginning to end in one night, which I think could be a first. There is so many fantastic key points, I took pages and pages of notes especially on the time management, personal development and goal setting chapters. This book is a must read !!!

Common sense advice
This short collection is filled with common sense wisdom that can be practically applied in almost any social setting. This collection is drawn from previous writings and presentations given by Mr Rohn. This does not diminish the value of this collection in any way. I still read his work and discover nuggets to ponder.
Great collection!

A 10/10 goldmine.
I honestly love this type of books; the ones that are straight to the point, full of knowledge from people who have done it, and are delivered beautifully in a concise, clear, and coherent fashion.
I'm at a place in my life in general and professional life as well, where I'm trying to find the 1% squeeze of everything around me to make the jump from good to great, and i think this book provides just that. As Jim himself would repeatedly say: "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practised every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day." In this case, it happens to be in 5 of the most important topics for progressing life, for making things and people move:
1. Time management: knowing how to allocate your time in order to live a fulfilling life, to know to who to allocate it, and when.
2. Setting goals: this one is straightforward, but it talks about how you set goals that entice you, make you want to do them, and the importance of an accountability system.
3. Self development: the importance of always learning, self betterment, and sitting a grandoise goal to chase.
4. Leadership: the one that enticed me more to be honest. Jim talks about how being a great leader is being a man with great personal character, fair but firm, and reponsible, yet giving his people the opportunity to grow.
5. Communication: Jim gives his take on how to be a good communicator in different mediums, the importance of knowing your message how and when to deliver, tonality, enunciation and writing, both for business get it done scenario and the more loose situations that would demand different skillsets.
This is one of these books that should be read while active note-taking and trying to make plans to implement the tips given into day to day life.
On a "I would never touch again" to "pass down to my descendents" as a scale, definitely the latter.

4.5 stars - rounded up to 5
There are some good lessons in this book.
One thing I wish the authors did better - give a little more thought to the headings.
I like taking notes when I read.
They present every single header in all caps - but don’t differentiate between a main topic and sub topics that follow.
For example they’ll write a topic like this:
FRUITS
APPLES
ORANGES
Instead of being like:
FRUITS
Fruit 1) Apples
Fruit 2 ) Organes
That is the only criticism. Everything else is pretty much on point

Great Collection
If you like Jim Rohn’s spoken material—freely found on YouTube—then you’d love this collection as it compiles the main points of his speaking into a book format.
While I haven’t read his other books, I think this one well summarises the main points of his seminars.
