Ive spent the last several weeks working my way through Michael Hyatts newest book. Let me tell you one thing right off: Your Best Year Ever is an absolute MUST read!

I cant tell you the last book I read that was this packed with smart and practical coaching about planning and doing the things you really want to do. Very readable, except for the nearly constant need to make a note in the margin as a reminder to do this!

Your Best Year Ever: A 5-Step Plan for Achieving Your Most Important Goals is what it claims to be. It is a very smartly designed 5 step plan.

I always like to do a quick flyover to get a sense for the whole road ahead. After finishing Your Best Year Ever, Im working my way back through, starting from the beginning and putting the steps into action.

On the other hand, if you're the kind of person that likes to do things one step at a time, you may want to take your time and do the steps as you go!

Every section concludes with an action plan and the plan is very practical (so practical that it begged to be worked on right then, instead of the flyover I intended!).

Your Best Year Ever concludes with goal templates (imported from Hyatts Full Focus Planner.) True Confession: It makes me wish I had ordered the planner!

While any of the exercises and action steps would be helpful as a standalone, I have no doubts that taken together, this is a very powerful concoction and upon completion will set me on a course for my best year ever.

If youve always wanted to take things to the next level, Your Best Year Ever is an absolute must read and I highly recommend it!

Nice! I read it straight through in about 1.5 hours, and it was a very easy read with clear, step by step instructions on what to do and not to do. I'm applying everything that I learned and starting my SEO writing business NOW!

This is an excellent book, although I am in the early stages of setting up a charity (and have set up a small number of partnerships) there are so many practical tips in this book - I read it in 3 sittings (due to other demands) and within 3 days!

What I like about it is that it is well written, comes from clear principles and Callum shares stories that are both positive (with great outcomes) as well as those that weren't so successful. We can all learn from people who have "been there" and being able to unpack the steps, articulate decisions that were made and present these in ways that are accessible to everyone is a real skill.  I am an avid reader and its very refreshing to read a book that has such clarity as well as real gems and take-aways on each page!

Callum refers to his other book - Little Wins & Qantum leaps which I am now about to read!

As a lifelong "accidental salesperson" as well as supervisor of salespeople I have read literally 100's of books on selling and been exposed to an equal number of selling systems. This may be the best - book and system.
The concepts and recommended actions are simple, honest, without gimmicks, contemporary and practical.  The best part is that they work!
For example, I adapted "the letter" to my situation (new  enterprise with zero name recognition & letters going to complete strangers).  The first wave resulted in 100% appointments. One prospect, so anxious to learn more, called me before I could call him.  Subsequent waves have also resulted in very high appointment rates - better than any other approach I have employed over the years.
Lytle advocates for a systematic approach that creates much-needed structure and discipline for people who by nature resist it with a passion.  Following the system is easy. The time invested yields dividends.
I highly recommend this book for the novice or the grizzled veteran.

As the subtitle to this book suggests, Make the Leap is a truly practical guide to breaking the destructive patterns which occur in our lives.  To this end, author Farrell Silverberg, a psychoanalyst, introduces the SUBGAP method, which involves a 4-step process:  1) Seeing your pattern, 2) Understanding your pattern, 3) Breaking your pattern, and 4) Guarding Against Patterns in the future.  Using a clear, simple writing style, Silverberg breaks down each of these steps to make them completely assessible to the average reader.

Various techniques are suggested to facilitate each step in the SUBGAP process.  For example, in order to recognize your pattern, Silverberg explains how to use both top-down and bottom-up analysis strategies.  Similarly, once you are ready to break your pattern, Silverberg offers a choice of several different ways to do this.  Plenty of real-person examples illustrate Silverberg's points; these add interest as well as increase comprehension of the SUBGAP method.  The book also particularly addresses breaking patterns in two specific areas, work and love, and finally, Silverberg shares how he overcame a destructive pattern in his own life.

Given that this book is so straightforward, some readers might find it to be TOO simplistic.  Indeed, much of the conclusions contained in the book could alternatively be dervived from common sense and basic problem-solving as well as past self-help works (Bill O'Hanlon's Do One Thing Different comes to mind).  Despite this, I believe that this book could still be useful to many, as Silverberg's fundamental approach might just right for someone who has been unable to see, understand, or break a damaging pattern on their own.  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for assistance in overcoming unproductive patterns and making positive life changes.

This book was well worth the read! Each chapter offered specific advice that I could immediately apply to my daily practices. It was so easy to read -  simple, direct and to the point! I would highly suggest reading this book if you are a business owner or corporate executive that wants to better understand the possible pitfalls facing your company, strategically improve the business from it's core, and increase profits!

The book is a easy quick read, yet offers PLENTY of useful techniques to overcome fears. I've read and applied many other self-help books before, and found many of the author's recommendations to be very straight-forward and practical.  For example, the "Anchoring" technique (Loc 1332) was explained in such an easy-to-follow manner that I'm motivated to use it immediately. Woven into the well-researched techniques are Trish's personal anecdotes -- experienced at various stages in life -- are also very interesting, fun and humane -- make readers realize that she would be very knowledgeable, effective AND empathetic as a life coach!!!

This book is packed with great wisdom, insight, and action steps you can easily take. I love how Vitalis gives practical steps to take instead of just offering mere theory or principles, which so many inspirational books do now a days. Moreover, the steps Vitalis gives in this book all build on each other, which makes it easy to follow along. He has great insight into both Biblical and practical issues that pertain to living out our dreams. Thank you Vitalis for this excellent work!

After buying this book, I could not put it down. Simple structured and to the point with short chapters and understandable english. Very practical with a storyline (with white river raftering guide experiences- will enjoy) and questions - journal type, at the end of each chapter, made it easy to follow in a busy work schedule. The core messege quickly communicated and background given of authors, was easy for me to buy-in. The free online accessment, that come with it, was a bonus and my family, friend and staff confirmed the accuracy of the results - the profile of your strenghts and how you should continue with free downloadable guides. Although this book is published fo the "church ministry", it is just as applicable in the secular and business world. I will strongly recommend this practical book to new upcoming church planters and dynamic christian organisations and "christians at work" support groups.

I truly enjoyed reading this book; it includes a ton of practical tips and tricks that actually work! I've used it both for my toddler as well as my baby and had excellent results.
Elizabeth Pantley's style is easy-going yet precise; reading her book was actually fun and entertaining, which definitely helped in understanding the concepts Ms. Pantley discussed.
What I most liked about the book was the fact that it all seemed so common sense; sometimes we just need to be reminded of some of life's most basic principles and apply them to the areas we have difficulties with, in this case sleep.

This was the first of Ms. Pantley's books I read, and I was so intrigued by her writing that I bought all of her other work as well. If you want to become the best parent you can possibly be, read her books and apply them to your life! You will be amazed by the results you can achieve!

What a great guide to email marketing!

I'm a big fan of Que books, but this one takes the cake.  It's engaging, motivating, and every step is broken down into simple git-er-done step-by-step instructions.

Learn how to write motivational emails that make SALES.  Learn how to grow your list, manage your list, market, & move.

I've NEVER wanted to collect email lists via Google Feedburner (why do footwork just to grow GOOGLE's list?) and this guide has re-ignited my interest in connecting with my blog readers.  I'm going to use PHP list, but I can definitely see that it's past time to get started.

The nice thing about this book is its organizational structure.  Pick it up & start in the beginning, middle or end & you'll learn something useful.  Fully indexed, you can quickly zero in on your topic of interest & learn what you need to know in 10 minutes or less.  Perfect for people who are busy with BUSINESS and not that into the geekier aspects of email marketing.  This book can teach you what you need to know, and FAST.  Learn how to structure your emails, your opt-in boxes, your opt-outs and more.

Plus, you get 45 days free access to the book online (great for quicker searches!).

Highly recommended for its advice and its accessiblity; this is a great read chock full of useful advice!

Inspiring yet practical and pragmatic, this is a book about accelerating business performance, surely something all business leaders are striving to do, especially in today's climate. It combines data driven research with the extensive business management experience of the co-authors. This book is surprisingly easy to read! The META framework is easy to understand and translate for all organisations, large and small, global or local. it is written in a way that makes it easy to use as a practical guide to improving your business and you can follow the process from diagnosis through analysis of the factors and then turn this into a comprehensive action plan. I enjoyed reading about the 23 things that drive great performance (so-called super-accelerators). Not just another business book, this has the potential to transform your business's performance.

This book is simply fantastic! Mr. Haeberle presents the most basic steps involved in breaking down financial decisions.  Through these readings it is possible to truly understand personal finance.  He presents clear techniques of thinking, which will undoubtedly  have a positive impact on anyone who puts them to use. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for uncomplicated ways to make subtle financial changes. This book will give you all the means necessary to do so, and has completely changed my approach to finance.  I am certain it will do the same for anyone who reads it!

I just finished this book and am excited to begin to use Roxanne Howe-Murphy's insights immediately!  I only recently started working more closely with the Enneagram, and I am convinced this is the tool that will bring about meaningful change in our world.  The models she shares in her book make this amazing body of knowledge very accessible and practical.  Although the book is directed to coaches and other human development professionals, anyone can immediately take away and begin to use the information.  I am very excited for her next book, which I understand will be out later this year.
