The Little Book of Results: A Quick Guide to Achieving Big Goals

by Jamie Smart

'It is easier to complicate than to simplify' - this book takes up that challenge and aims to refine and clarify the theories in the original Results to produce a more succinct route to clarity and better results for the reader - because we all want to see results at home, at work and in life!

Using transformational coaching techniques, examples, exercises and metaphors, Jamie talks the reader through the three key changes they need to achieve the results they are after and inspire others to do the same. Based on the principles of The Clarity Coaching Model, the reader will learn how to de-congest their mind to think more clearly, make better decisions and improve performance – achieving the ‘flow’ state attributed to the results of top-flight individuals. Clearer thinking removes the stress and anxiety from decision making and allows you to focus on your goals. Rather than a step-by-step process, the reader is encouraged to form a deep understanding of themselves to awaken their inner potential and improve their innate abilities including better listening, deeper connections, more motivation and greater innovation and creativity.

Very much geared towards young entrepreneurs and nothing else! What a load of nonsense. Book was full of lame “equations” (a mathematician would be mortified), endless tales of his triumphs and praises, sentences that literally don’t make sense, and lots of encouragement to succeed, with no real instruction on how to reach your goals. Don’t know what’s worse - if this book is solely a money making scheme, or if the author actually believes his own bulls*** 😂. Anyways, if you haven’t guessed, I don’t recommend and I wish I hadn’t wasted my time (and money). Tbh I skimmed over the last third because I couldn’t stand to read the same thing over and over again. Not the motivational New Years book I thought I was getting into unfortunately.

Jamie Smart is a former IT professional turned executive coach and speaker. This is a disappointing self-help book that - like so many in the genre - exists to promote Smart’s services and charity by offering a bland mix of jargon and empty phrases that boil down to the (reasonable) notion that you misunderstand how your mind works and need to take things away and focus on your innate capabilities for reasoning and insight.

This book only repeats over and over again the basic concept that was laid out in the "Little Book of Clarity". I think that basic concept is worth knowing, but there's much babbling around. Sorry but this seems to me just like someone wanted to make more money of the same concept...

Doesn't actually give advice on how to succeed, writes dumb equations such as Hard Work + Talent = Success, etc. A waste of time unless you want to feel good about yourself for doing nothing.
