This book is quite short and quite simple. It won’t help you set goals or prioritise them for you. It doesn’t explain or justify its position with any kind of research or scientific data. Instead, it suggests that any goal a person desires should begin with an all in, intensive twelve week boot camp that allows you to throw yourself at your target relentlessly. That’s pretty much it. Worth the read, especially if you’ve already got some familiarity with goal setting but are wanting to up your game. Or if you’ve been setting goals but haven’t been sticking with them. I plan on reading again.

The information you need is on page 61-66 of a 99 page book, and all of it could have fit on a single page. The rest of the book is filled with anecdotes and how awesome the plan is going to be for you once they reveal it. Glad I checked it out of the library - I would have been mad at myself if I had spent any money on this. The $16.99 cover price is absurd for what boils down to one page worth of bullet points.

A whole "book" for something that is 5 (badly explained) bullet points. And a lot of "THIS THING IS GREAT!"
Want to lose weight? If you do the 88 day promise, you'll become weightless!
Want to make more money? With the 88 day promise, you'll be richer than Jeff Bezos!
I did the 88 day promise for my campaign and almost got elected as king of the world.
Want to get impervious to bullets? All you need is the 88 day promise!
A young Kal-El once decided to become stronger and, in 88 days, he was Superman!
Jokes apart, there is very little information about what the heck the 88 day promise is. Just focusing on something for 88 day is enough? Can I focus on becoming impervious to bullets? Any goal is valid? How to proceed, just set a goal and that's it?
No, it's not. There is a "first week, you take a time out". Suuuuure, I'll stop working for a whole week to recover my energies and then I'll focus for 2 weeks and take another week out for recharging.
Honestly, I felt like reading some very long ad for snake oil.

The book is about maintaining focus and keeping sight on goals no matter what happened. There is so much distraction in the modern world. Keeping a goal means lesser chance of distraction and winning at the end post.

I like the message of this book. I didn't like that it was a lot of repeating and repetitive wording thrown in over and over again.

To make this short: avoid this! Encourages some toxic leadership behaviors (push push push no rest) all with a better than you attitude. There are select quotes that I liked- "Goal setting that focuses on outcome instead of process and behavior is why people lose"- but the vast majority of this is garbage.
The longer take:
This is a very short read- the author even states it should be a half hour before you're starting your lists and beginning your first 88 day stint. If I had started with the acknowledgement section at the end first, it would have been even shorter for me. He thanks God first, and then pain- because without the pain he wouldn't have accomplished anything. Yes, this sanctimonious tone permeates through the rest of the text. I wanted to throw out the book when he said all overweight individuals are sloppy as well but with 88 days of dedication they can become lean and well-groomed (seriously... this was on page 3).
Rest is important. Giving yourself grace is important. Work and/or growth is not sustainable without rest. The technique discussed in this book is classic toxic leadership and I would encourage anyone that wants to read this, read this and/or tried the method to also read Do Nothing: Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing and Underliving by Celeste Headlee. I got more encouragement and advice from Headlee than Roberts.
To be fair, the 88 days of pushing to meet goals is then followed by 3 weeks of rest but this would only work in select settings. AKA a setting where you are the only one setting priorities- management doesn't typically allow for a week long vacation every 88 days (yes- this is recommended in the book!) and if it does you have a very comfortable position, please hire me.
I laughed when I reached the end of the book and learned that Dr Rollan Roberts, the little upstart politician who was going to take down the big man, DIDN'T EVEN WIN. Yet this is his shining example of the 88 Day method? THE EGO ON THIS MAN. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being a pay to publish book.

For me, the book is very unrealistic and very commercial. The title meets the needs of people to achieve their goals and focus on them in 88 days, but the content is far from being realistic. We're human beings, we have our falls and our doubts phases, and hello, we can't simply get over them just by continuing on focusing to work non stop. We need to live our doubt phase, and our falls, insecurities about the goal we want to achieve, then trying to solve all that and get back to work stronger.

In the vast majority of paragraphs every other sentence has either "eighty-eight" "88" or "blitz" in it. Felt a lot like reading a personal essay written by someone who had to meet a word count. Lots of big 'risk it for the biscuit' energy but overall I feel like I could have watched a YouTube video from some grind culture guru and gotten the exact same content.

It was ok. An easy read that could have used a proofreader but all in all it's sound advice that I am going to try.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The author believes he's amazing, and you can be too if you follow his process - which other than a few bullet points, he never actually explains.

It’s entirely my fault—I chose this 47-page book out of laziness thinking I could get valuable information quickly. I was wrong! 😑 Period.

I power read this book in about 40 minutes, which incidentally is about how long it takes me to drink a 12 oz sparkling water.
If you just want a quick burst of motivation, this is a really good book. It’s short, and repetitive, but darn it if it doesn’t make you want to commit three months towards a goal. I’m currently in the last weeks of 90 days without sugar, and I’ve got a new found motivation to not only continue what I’ve accomplished over these 90 days when it ends, but to pick up a new, perhaps more intense, 90 day sprint after this one.
Easy read with a punchy, motivational message :)

I enjoyed the diverse people in the stock footage in the book. The gist is 88 days give momentum that you can build on. Number chosen to release you from calendar start dates like Monday, new years, season, or quarters

Not a complete dump but nevertheless full of anecdotal evidence, grand promises and lack of substance.
All in all, I like my motivational stuff to be better grounded and researched.
