Woah!! I really really really enjoyed this book. It gave a deeper perspective on Ambition and the difference between an ambition and a goal. And what is really an ambition and how it can help achieving you ultimate goal. The writer here gave a DETAILED process to achieve your ambition, everything from top to bottom she really covered everything that helps to achieving your ultimate goal through ambition. This book in my humble opinion gave a thorough understanding on how ambition works and the practical steps that followed each chapter did help 👌🏽 and before you buy that book specify what really is your ambition right now so you can benefit from this the most. I am highly satisfied with this book and so glad that I got the chance to read it. I personally have learnt some important things regarding my ambition and why I was not there yet, so hope it helps you too.

A book that is very useful to help achieve your ultimate goal. Personally, however, I found it somewhat difficult to read and I wasn't necessarily excited to pick it up and read it. However the content is still good and useful.

[Nigel · Rating 3 out of 5]

An easy to read guide on achieving goals. Probably more of an introduction into goal setting and motivation. Simple steps to follow but didn’t really introduce anything new.

Read this in a single day, which is unusual for me. Lots of great advice, perfect for the impostor syndrome

A book called Ambition but it talks more about raising your productivity. It has many good tips on raising your productivity and eventually these tips will lead you to achieving your ambition!
