This is one of the best self-help books I’ve come across in a while. The author expands on seven main points: vision (mindset), goal setting, resilience, instant gratification, habits, friends, and lifelong learning. While some of these topics may have been covered before, the author offers fresh perspectives on those you already know about and offers new science-based strategies you likely have not heard applied in this manner. The author really embraced the philosophy of, “The moment you stop fighting for what you want, what you don’t want will automatically appear.” He applied this philosophy to the seven principles within this book.

Personally, the vision principle really spoke to me because I am a creative person. The author notes that creative people tend to be visionaries and can see things for what they can be rather than what they are. However, I had never considered applying that to myself on a personal level. I liked that the concept of creating yourself and transforming your mindset is a considerable influence on you as a person. This is just one of the golden nuggets shared in this book.

If you are looking for proven methods for personal development, this book is for you. It walks you through how to develop the best version of yourself from a unique perspective. Moreover, throughout each chapter, there are self-assessment exercises that allow you to apply what you just learned, further capitalizing on your development. Also, the book is very relatable, and you can see parts of yourself exemplified throughout the book. The book is informative, inspirational, and relevant to your life at all stages of life. I would definitely recommend this book to any and everyone!

I absolutely loved this book. It was a real page turner. Unlike other self-help books, this book gave me validation and the motivation to keep going on the path that I am on. He includes several relevant quotes in each chapter, making the book a more interesting read. Jeremy uses science to back up his work as well, and quotes the bible Matthew 7:7 “Ask and you shall receive". He mentions; The journal of neuro-philosophy revealed “Simply imagining your exercise can tone muscle, delay atrophe, and even make your muscles stronger.” What he is concluding, is that you can manifest anything you want. There is science and research to back it up. This is a book I will read again, because it connects with my ideals of the world and gives me motivation to be a better person. My favorite part of the book is at the beginning.
“Now, I invite you to plow through this book, and as you do, know that I am proud of you. I’m proud that you’re the type of person who wants more out of life. I’m proud of you because you realize the person who is not willing to learn can’t be helped, and, more importantly, the person who is willing to learn can’t be stopped. I’m proud of you because you’d rather plan than party. I’m proud of you because you’d rather pick up a book than a beer. And that’s why you are about to experience a profound change for the better in your life”

This is truthfully the best self-help book I have ever read (and I’ve read A LOT of books).

It may be that things Jeremy addresses apply to my current life – and financial – situation, but I found myself pulled into every page. From the science behind Jeremy’s points to his occasional pleasant or witty remarks to real situations/stories that I could relate to, everything in this book makes sense from a personal and logical perspective.

There are tons of self-help books out there that say, ‘Do these things and your life will change overnight!’. However, this isn’t one of them. Jeremy dives so much deeper than just 7 simple secrets. He actively utilizes significant quotes by famous/well-renown people, case studies that support his information, and scientific, philosophical, and psychological terms – all of which are not just presented and left to the read to interpret (in the context of the book). Each piece of outside information is explained, defined, and expanded upon. It’s not just information pulled into the book to make it sound legitimate or different from other self-help books.

In over 500 pages of pure, useful information (as well as trying to digest it all before writing this), ideas for changes in my life have started percolating and I’m eager to work on becoming the CEO of my life!

[Joe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book from Jeremy McGilvrey is the most insightful and wonderful book I have ever read.
He mentioned how it’s possible to get at one’s own craft simply by imagining and practicing in their own mind. By visualizing it’s possible to create patterns that will then lead you to success. I’ve actually been using this tacktick of thinking like a winner instead of someone who wants to be a winner and this made me skip a huge leap in my career that I couldn’t skip before. He also talks about how he determines what he is going to be doing the next day right before going to sleep which subconsciously made him more active and better at what he was doing. He even mentioned that stress is one of the factors that can have a horrible affect on your success and this is something that I might have overlooked. Looking at myself in this perspective made me realize that I worry a lot and that instead of worrying I should use it to instead use it to work on my career. I could probably talk a lot about how there is actual science behind someone’s success but instead of me talking I would simply recommend this book to anyone who is interested and who wants to figure out the science behind one’s own self and their success.

[Angela Gaedchens · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is one of the best self-help books I have read and is very inspirational to me, personally, and professionally.

I have just read this book and it is so interesting how the author went from “rags to riches” in a short time and with only his dignity and a lot of determination. My takeaway from this book is how we should have more confidence and what it really takes to be successful in getting exactly what we want out of life.

Jeremy talks about the science-based strategies that help create sustainable change and how we must envision ourselves and not to worry so much about how others see us and how we must take the initiative to “unleash” our inner boss and to take charge of our lives to build wealth.
The information about the science that is behind the strategy of becoming a great boss and the confidence needed to build a million-dollar future, involves the works of neuroscientists and behavioral psychologists, and how to apply it within yourself.

So much of this makes sense, it is absolutely one of the best reads to date!

[Matthew Park · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jeremy’s ability to tell stories that paint pictures in your mind on how to achieve success is a masterpiece. His book captures and conveys stories, messages and personal anecdotes of how to become one of the most successful people.

Jeremy McGilvrey is a Harvard-educated No. 1 bestselling author and he’s here to help business owners take their brick-and-mortar company to create a strong online presence.

Truth be told, creating a company from the ground up and trying to make your dream into a reality is hard work and Jeremy’s book isn’t a book to sugarcoat that path to success. He shares proven methods to help and improve any struggling business owner but also makes it very easy to understand the science-backed strategies which ultimately will help you change to a better CEO.

Honestly, this book was the best self-help book that truly transformed my business for a brighter and more successful future; it really is the best personal development book I have every purchased.

Thank you, Jeremy.

For someone who has read a lot of self-help books, I’d have to say this was the best self-help book I’ve read so far. The author’s inspirational and motivational story from “rags to riches” captivated me and drew me in right from the start. He tells you how to start building your million-dollar future using just seven steps; from starting your vision, how to set goals, and all the way to lifelong learning, McGilvrey is there to take you through all of them in great detail. The author uses a lot of real life experiences and examples (including his own!) to show exactly how science-based strategies can help produce sustainable change in people’s lives. The best part of the book for me were the exercises included within each chapter. The author really takes you into detail of each step, and he guides you through each exercise and includes a workbook that you can fill in as you read along. I would absolutely recommend this self-help book to anyone who is thinking of or who already owns a business and would like to become the best CEO they could possibly be!

This is an excellent book focused on helping you achieve success in your professional life. There are 7 steps that are explained in-depth to help you make the changes necessary to become successful.

The author uses personal experience as well as scientific studies to show the validity of these steps. These are not just steps to help you in business but also life. So much of our success is dependent on our mindset, deciding to take action, and staying consistent.

Each chapter consists of a step to help you become more successful, science based research, and ends with exercises to help you implement it into your life.

One of the steps that impacted me the most was on resilience. Too often we give up when things get difficult. I believe this is the majority of our society. A lot of time the people that are successful are the ones who despite failures and set backs continue on anyway.

After reading this book I truly feel like I have the necessary knowledge to become successful in life. This is one of the most impactful self help books I have ever read.

Jeremy McGilvery’s book, CEO: 7 Secrets To Unleash Your Inner Boss And Start Building Your Million Dollar Future Today, with its large selection of strategies for making large amounts of money easy, and for real, helped me out beyond belief. There are countless people on the internet claiming that they can help you become a millionaire quickly and easily, you spend the time on their webinars or throw down some money, and you get nowhere with it. Jeremy uses actual scientific methods to help you make money, but it is not a rich, quick scheme. It will take work to become that millionaire. Still, the techniques and tips within this book will get you there. Each one is based on scientific research and studies centered around neuroscience, marketing, sociology, and countless others. Do not miss out on the opportunity to become who you are meant to be, and get this book to make a difference in your own life, just like I did.

[Elena Schauwecker · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've never had much success with other self-help books, as they always just feel like someone offering opinions. This book was different because it was truly based in science, referring often the research of psychologists and neuroscientists. I loved the exercises that were provided at the end of each chapter, so I could see how to apply the suggestions practically to my own life. In addition to offering helpful tips for real, sustainable change, the book was also incredibly motivational. The author's story is extremely powerful from the very first page; when he describes his experience in jail at "rock bottom," he truly shows that anyone can be successful, not just people who come from wealth and connections. There are also inspirational quotes throughout the book, which really hit hard emotionally. Would recommend for anyone who is trying to turn their life around, promote a business, or just feel more confident in their every day jobs.

[Chinenye Adediran · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book deserves more than 5 stars! It is packed with valuable and useful information that can and will change your life. It teaches one how to control the wandering subconscious mind realistically.

Most self-help books simply tell you “what to do”, some others might tell you “how to do” and they fail to teach you anything significant. The author of this book, Jeremy McGilvrey, does the opposite of that in this book. Not only does he presents the “science behind the why”, but he also uses easy-to-understand diction to explain science-based ideas and strategies that can help produce sustainable change.

I also loved his grass-to-grace story in the “Note from the author” and the comments by popular people attached at the beginning of some chapters and on random pages. I highly recommend it.

THIS BOOK IS VERY INFORMATIVE-"If you are needing a motivational, not a basic self help book that can help you transform your lifestyle to be your own boss then I would give this book a try! It really gets you to understand why you want to make a specific change in order to have a great life the way you want it. The law of attraction is a powerful thing. Setting a goal and sticking to it is important but knowing why you want to achieve that specific goal and holding on to that even through the tough times will get you farther than you can imagine. This book really does have strategies backed by science that can help transform your lifestyle. Do not think negatively because it can reflect in your work. There are so many helpful tools in this book and I cannot wait to see how far it will get me.”

This book has transformed the way I think about my business. Jeremy is a Harvard graduate author who knows the ins and outs of business ownership, development, and lastly but most importantly success. This top rated self-help book has perfect scores for many reasons but ultimately because Jeremy makes it very easy to understand through his science-backed tips and insights but also the book is very easy to understand from any perspective. For anyone that is trying to understand how to start a business and run it properly, I definitely recommend Jeremy's book. He will help you understand the pitfalls of owning a business and provide the answers you need to avoid them and become the top business owner you are. I definitely recommend this number one self-help book for anyone that wants to start or running their own business!

[Manuscript Mermaid · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will be the first to say I am not a major self help book reader . I think they rely heavily on a specific set of circumstances and unrealistic motivation ..
That being said Jeremy proved that completely wrong & I was pleasantly surprised .
This was motivation through the telling of a REAL success story .
An accounting Of a man with odds stacked ,having already encountered the cyclical & systematic slavery that is the prison system ; but still he overcame , still he succeeded. But better yet he told me why .
Jeremy explains WHY and with scientific reasoning why envisioning works and the role our brains play in mapping our actions .
“When you are focused on immediate gratification you are not focused on your long term goals “
The explanation and behavioral research behind this statement is just one more instance of why you should give this a go .

I’ve struggled for a while with being proactive and not reactive. This book has got to be one of the biggest helps, in that regard. I was used to not setting goals, not forming better habits and breaking bad ones, and not reaching my full potential. After reading this book, I was able to take a way better approach to a lot of my problems. With the book being science-based, I didn’t look at this as another self-help book, I was looking to gain something that will work. With time, I was able to set goals and watch myself achieve them, big or small. I can’t say how thankful I am for a book like this to exist. I know alot of people who experience the same problem as I do; Don’t hesitate to dive into this book and learn!

There are a lot of mindset books out there that tell you what you should do to change your life. But not all of them go into the science behind WHY this stuff actually works! Once I read and understood the science of the subconscious mind I felt like I could really apply this stuff to my own life. He uses language that makes it easy to understand and to want to continue reading the book. The writing is engaging and his use of inspirational quotes kept someone like me turning the page to find the next quote. This is a great book to jump start the success of your business or even for your own personal life.

This book brought back the boss in me.

Since I moved here to the US I lost my mentality of becoming a boss. I got stuck with 9-5
job for a couple of years I wasn't happy. Then I bumped into this book and why not give it a try. This book reminded me of my dad, he always tells me what I think will attract the things that will come to you. This book imprinted on me what I should be doing in the first place this book shared secrets on how I should make money towards financial freedom. So far, I have been following his advice and I am road to my financial freedom with the ability to enjoy my time with my family and not getting stuck with my desk.

I really like how the book tells Jeremy’s story and how he came to be the person that he is today. It really touches on his hard work and determination to succeed in every endeavor he takes on. This has to be one of the best self-help and motivational books I have read! I enjoyed reading the science-based strategies included that can help foster sustainable change. The book really goes into how the science-based method works and explains it clearly. This book has a lot of material that I will be applying not only in my business life, but my personal life as well, and will really be a good change to my mindset going forward. Highly recommend that everyone reads this book!

I thought this book would be just another quick self-help read without much to say.

Boy, I was wrong.

His book is filled with practical, science-backed strategies to change your life for the better. I love how he discusses the research on the mind-body connection and how through visualizing our future we can make our dreams a reality.

By digging into the research and incorporating studies to back his theories, the book holds incredible value for anyone wanting to take control of their future.

Jeremy’s book is a game changer. Don’t overthink it. Buy the book now, and thank yourself later.

[Julie Piper · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was recommended to me by a fellow entrepreneur and it is definitely worth the read. It was very insightful and could be applied to any industry leadership. It is not the congratulating story of someone who made it big in corporate America, but about the most important person in your CEO journey - YOU! This book is a self-help personal development book to understanding yourself and your passions. The author demonstrates how knowing your purpose and goals can influence your actions and interactions. The biggest takeaway from this book is that there are science-based strategies that can help us create that sustainable change that will benefit you and your business!

[Yuki Yoshida · Rating 4 out of 5]

For anyone looking to get started in the world of professional development, this book is a great tool. The ideas, or “secrets,” are clearly laid out with definitions and examples, and each section reviews the real-life strategies as well as scientific studies and publications that back up his claims. A “neurological aside” introduces these scientific concepts in each chapter to help readers understand their minds and bodies. It’s clearly and plainly written in a conversational tone which makes is very accessible. If you’re starting out in business, this might be the best personal development book for you.

[Ekemini Nwabueze · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an awesome read and the best self-help book. This book is loaded with gems that are life-transforming. One of the scientific strategies that stood out to me was the power of vision. It breaks down the importance of vision and how it impacts our worldview. The things we achieve in life are products of our vision. We must first, envision it before we can take the necessary steps to accomplish it. If our vision concerning a particular goal is defeating, it narrows the chances of us accomplishing the goal. This book is a must-read and honestly, it will change your perspective and shape your approach towards daily living.

Way better than any self-help/make more money books on the market. It is well written which helps the strategies in this book hold water. It really is amazing to hear about all the hard work Jeremy had to put in to get where he is today. I was also really surprised to read that there are science-based strategies that help create sustainable change. I never thought about science coming into play. Maybe that is why I have failed in the past. Sooo glad I decided to give this book a shot. Highly recommended.

A must-read book for anyone who is serious about becoming a world-class CEO. The book is full of Science-based strategies that help produce a sustainable change for the better of me, my team, and ultimately, my companies profits. This is a book that belongs on the shelves next to other respected business books. Packed fully of actionable items, ideas and strategies that can be implemented into a wide variety of businesses, and immediately see return on the value. I recommend this to all my friends.

CEO: 7 Secrets to Unleash Your Inner Boss discusses in depth the importance of dreaming, and of changing your mindset to believe that good things can happen and that you’re worthy of those good things. This book outlines the fundamental differences in thinking between the wealthy and the poor. By developing a new mindset, this book shows you how you can drastically improve your life. The practical, science-backed steps provided in this book are easy to follow, and by implementing them I have already seen a positive shift in my mentality and lifestyle!

[Shetal · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a sheer delight to read. Jeremy's tips challenge existing beliefs with sound logic and science based facts. The book compiles extensive research done in fields of psychology, neuroscience, economics; just to name a few. It questions the automatic mode we run our life on and each tip shows ways to improve one's overall approach to business and life in general. A thought provoking creation. Must read if you feel you are stuck in a rut or just not moving ahead as an entrepreneur or just fine tune your current entrepreneurial mindset.

[Michal Bennett · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book lists steps to success that I’ve heard from motivational speakers for years. But I was intrigued right from the beginning by the science behind visualizing what you want. As a kid, I was fascinated with eyes, and the explanation of the physicality of imagination and visualization really moved me. Then, throughout the book, Jeremy interjects regular “asides”, from neurological to meteorological to chemistry, that focus all the words in between back to something precise and logical. The sensible facts and actions tied to emotional connections have made these steps stick with me.

[Trinity · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was not anticipating such a high level of science-based reasoning and hands-on practices in this work. To say I was delighted would be an understatement. I think this is one of the best self-help books available because it focuses on YOU reaching your goal rather than a narrative about how anyone else did it. One of the things I like most about this book is that Jeremy not only motivates me by sharing his challenges, but he also keeps me responsible for holding myself back. In the future, I would recommend this book to an aspiring entrepreneur.
