"Books are no substitute for living, but they can add immeasurably to its richness." - May Hill Arbuthnot Reading Mike Grogan's books makes you feel like you got a good old friend in him, teacher, guide and traveller mate, who walks what he talks, an overseer through the journey of discovery ourselves and still humble to recognize the minuses we all have, but proud for the lessons we got from life, willing to share the knowledge and experience to the others thirsty of getting to know what a wonderful life we can get and how to get the best of it, without doing harm to ourselves or to others, lending a helpful hand so we can prioritize our values and making progress with baby steps but firmly advanced to change our habits and prove that is always time and space for much more health, good, fun, happiness, wealth and satisfaction. Thanks for your good work, Mike! Our best wishes for success and may your dreams come true. From George Mindrila and Virginia Ticman Mindrila, with love, from the Philippines! Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
"To change yourself and to change yourself to a better YOU, there are two totally different things." - German proverb. "The Messi Way" book of Mike Grogan challenges you to take the 33 days journey to change your habits, but not alone. The vivid examples of the three heroes, we can call them so, also Mike's style of "don't worry, I know that is not easy but is possible, don't give up and give one more try", sincerity of admitting that we aren't perfect, and the way he makes the things look simple, these are just a few reasons that makes you read and re-read this book and find out that the answers are in within ourselves, just need to balance our childish-adult way of considering life we decide to live and enjoying it by getting the best of it, not only for our benefit but for others around us. To be sincere, I started reading it with the appreciations in the introductory part, then the invitation to the Philippines part (that I used to read for my wife in English and Tagalog to keep in our mind the reasons for what we have to be proud of being Filipinos or got married to a Filipina/ Filipino), then I did the normal reading of the 1st chapter, then the 2nd chapter and so on, with Mike "shoulder to shoulder "... It's true that reading an e-book is a modern way for our time, but every time I can hold a book in my hand makes me feel better, making notes, easy to carry and to share and most of all the smell of new or old books is something priceless... Keep on doing what your heart and soul is speaking, our dearest brother, warm and big hearted friend Mike! From George Mindrila and Virginia Ticman Mindrila to Mike Grogan, with love.
Mike has asked me to do so many things (for my own good, I'm pretty sure) that I felt I went back to being a student! Come to think of it, reading The Messi Way really confirms that I am, and will be - forever. The subject? Knowing and Mastering Myself 101.
Since I really need that challenge at this particular point in my life, then I'm taking it on. I'm going on that 33 Day Challenge! I know it will not be easy - quitting the wrong people, and choosing a Success Partner fill me with dread. But I'm already a practitioner of most of the TRANSFORM habits, so I believe I will win this challenge. To be sure of success, I'm thinking the severest punishment I can mete out on myself (and the most wonderfully amazing reward!).

I will surely recommend this book to my family and friends. Thank you Mike for the opportunity, and for writing this book for all of us
This book i read it at once.. Each page had quotes of wisdom that energized me to continue. Mostly the writing of Mike, his use of the dialectic method made me feel comfortable and accepting his coaching through the pages... Complete connection of author and reader.. 'Are you still with me?' he wrote.. Yeah, for sure, wanting to learn more how to nail our day starting from early morning and complete the habit challenge... Definitely worth reading and applying.. Doable!
The words are so powerful in each page. A must read if you are serious about change you’ve been wanting all your life. SIMPLE, PRACTICAL, DOABLE and REAL. Thousand words might not be enough to describe how I feel after reading it. I just hope I had this book earlier in my life. Thank you Mr. Mike Grogan for your amazing work. You are truly an inspiration!
Mike's approach to helping us in our struggle to change is very straighforward. This book is written clearly and is very direct to its purpose. Looking forward to finishing the 33-day challenge which I am about to start and thank you for the 'tough love' incorporated in this book which is really spot-on!
This is a very conversational guidebook. I especially like how Mike Grogan put emphasis on morning rituals as a powerful step of starting each day right and as a habit-forming push towards being extraordinary. I'm excited to make changes to a better me using The MESSI Way in the next 33 days (and beyond). Read this and be ready to change to a better you too.
WARNING: This is not an ordinary book, it’s more like a map towards a complete transformation. Like a caterpillar that’s turns to a cocoon then turns to a colorful butterfly there will be some struggles along the way, this book teaches us where are we on that transformation and why are we going through it in the first place.
This book is like Mike is talking to you, you can actually hear his voice, like a friend encouraging you to be a better person and to bring out the best in you.
After finishing this book, it totally changed my perspective 360°.
Sorry for the late review Mike, caught up on crazy corp life =)
The powerful habit of morning ritual will revolutionize the way people achieve extraordinary success. Now, Mike’s patented MESSI Way will make it even easier and faster to succeed in anything you set your heart and mind on. Grab a copy of the book while you can, read it and apply the lessons to turn your life around.
Another exceptional book by Mike and an easy, enjoyable book to read. His dedication to help improve people is second to none and the work he is doing within the Philippines is inspiring individuals from all walks of life.
An easy to read and handy guide to put your dreams into action. The book gives you a push to make your goals a working commitment to progress. It helps you to have a meaningful transcending of oneself for the benefit of others and the world.
An Interesting great read books, It connects to reader very well. It let you act spontaneously on what you are reading without hesitation. Mike very well written.
Even if you’re not in business company but you want personal growth, then you better read this book! Dare to be different. Choose to be excellent! Thanks Mike!
Great read indeed Mike Grogan .Challenging our potential capability needs not only self esteem but also strong grasp of knowledge. Book itself is very empowering. KUDOS
This book is really powerful. It touched my heart and ignite my mind to start the change I've been wanting to do for a long time. There is power in this book that will help you really change and become who you want to be. Believe me this is a book that everyone must read.
An approachable book that will not only make you start to turn things over in your head but will also make you want to invite Mike Grogan out for a cup of tea. Thanks for your invitation to the Phlippines and talking about Gawad Kalinga where I volunteered.
As much as I like reading inspirational book and this is well worth reading I hope it will come out as an audio book as it would be perfect to listen to whilst fighting traffic and daily obstacles, its well written and a lot to think about. Don't miss it
Habits changing is challenging but Mike shows achievable strategies with realistic examples to transform YOU. When I started reading the first page, I stopped as I was completing a big project. Yet, I skimmed it again until I reached last page. It is an amazing self-help book! So I meticulously read each page again…… Thanks for sharing advanced copy of your book, ‘The Messi Way’.
Thank you for this book. I honestly don't know what to write. All i can think of is that this book is a big help to me especially that i have always been a failure in achieving change I can't seemed too sustain what ive started and that's really frustrating.
I enjoyed reading this book. It gave me the tool to tackle the difficult task of being proactive in my self-improvement. Being dyslexic, I have always been tough on myself and always trying to gather the courage to face my fears. I have always tried being honest with myself but fear has prevented me from doing things that I want to accomplish.
Again thank you.
