Moving On

This a very interesting book! I'm a self-help fanatic, educated and wired to help others. The words Dr. Elko writes help one see how their mind and self-talk direct the body to either move or sit. Moving is better but needs come from a well thought out game plan!

This book is billed as a motivational book that will show you how teams have used Dr. Elko's system to win. It is an extremely short book of about 150 pages. It doesn't tell you in detail with the teams listed like the Miami Hurricanes or the UNC Tarheels. It may tell one story in a couple paragraphs and then the team is never mentioned again. There isn't enough of a story to illustrate the point you are supposed to be learning or coming away with. I was so focused on wanting to know more about his work with this team or that person that it was frustrating for me to read. He uses quotes to wrap up each chapter so you can use this point in your life. However I felt like you couldn't use it because he didn't fully explain it in detail or use detailed examples. I just wouldn't recommend this book to anyone looking for motivation or to turn their life around.

I've heard Dr. Elko many times through work. He is an inspiring speaker. His talks come through in his books. This book really drove some of his points home. If you need a little pick me up or just some ideas on how to think differently, this book is for you.

I've had the privilege of seeing Dr Elko give a presentation. Many of the things he said there are in this book. I prefer his talk tapes though.

Great one liners... Inspirational for sure. I met the author, funny guy, capturing speaker.
