All-killer no-filler book on improving your life
933977
This is an amazingly practical book on improving yourself, your life, and your leadership skills. The author's scientific background shows in the crisply logical and directly applicable concepts and techniques that make up the book. Each chapter ends with a mental or social exercise that ingrains the concept introduced, and prepares you for the next. The book is a great read either way, but its truly transformational value is in doing the exercises. If you just read through and skip over the exercises, you will be missing out.

I've never read a self-help book before where I wished like crazy that the author was my best friend. Caroline Arnold is a treat to read. That's not to say that her microresolution system of self-improvement isn't thoroughly professional, logically developed and backed with recent and classic research; it is. She knows her stuff and how to teach it to others. But she's also great company: fun, funny, human, humane, wise, absorbing, inspiring, and sensitive, and, unlike so many gurus of this and that who preach their gospel from on high, she uses herself as the prime example of the human need to improve and what a struggle it can be. Her book is serious, but it's also approachable and appealing; it makes complete sense not only in scientific but also in everyday terms; it's very much tied to how we really live. The practice is clearly explained and utterly doable, and the case histories, including her own, are both familiar and inspiringmaybe inspiring because they are so familiar, and often hilarious for the same reason. One of my favorite stories was the woman who made a microresolution not to be the first in her office to complain about things. Since the key to a successful MR is to focus it so it's absolutely achievable, she didn't resolve not to complain, just to wait till somebody else did first. I won't spoil the joke by telling what happenedsufficient to say that she learned not to complain and learned something pretty important about herself. Now I'm using an MR of my own to improve my MOand my reputationat work. And I'm succeeding. I look forward to starting many more MRs to improve my work, health, organization, and relationships, step by stepgoals that my sweeping all-or-nothing New Year's promises to myself never achieved. And if I can, anyone can. Do yourself a favor, read this book.

Just another book on how to live a better life??
YOU ARE SO WRONG.
No matter where you are right now regarding health, this book will help to improve yourself. It will give you guidance in nutrition,exercise and spirituality if you need it.
YOUR health is vital to living a meaningful life and this book is fantastic at helping to stay on track. It is a very practical approach to good health. I learned new things which are very applicable in my daily life.
Sachin Mayi  shares his knowledge and experience in a fun but very convincing way. One thing that sets it apart from other books is that it is written in a conversational tone as oppose to simply listing off techniques.
There is something in his book for everyone. You might find yourself disregarding one bit of advice and follow another, but you will find something in this book that will change your life for the better.
I recommend this book to everybody. Yes, even your kids should read it!

Best Book Possible for Your Life. Without question, I highly recommend  this masterful work as the one book you should buy.  Dr. Lindsay Gibson has  written a proactive, realistic book which will help everyone - regardless  of where you are in life.  Well organized, easy to read, and full of useful  real world examples, this book identifies ways to identify your inner  desires and inner dreams, understand what holds you back, and how to  fulfill the very best of yourself  Dr. Gibson makes no false promises or  suggests things which might never be realized.  Her book offers choices for  your own evaluation and consideration in order to get the best out of  yourself.
At times while reading the book, I found myself saying this  is exactly how I felt about a given situation and how I struggled to find  an answer to some of life's issues.  Dr. Gibson has anticipated the  questions, provided answers rich in thought, and demonstrated her strong  belief in human potential.  Her book provides the insight and opportunity  to be that person each of us truly wants to be.
My recommendation is  simply this - BUY THIS BOOK, make the investment in yourself (or give it to  someone you know who needs it).  You will not disappointed.

I am fascinated by studying how habits form and how we can better our lives.  Striving to improve my life in ALL aspects daily, I stumbled upon Sean's book and leafed through it as I do hundreds of books.  The first few pages intrigued me enough to buy it, and I read it in 2 sittings.  His straightforward, specific tools set with examples of people experiencing each part of the process was beneficial and entertaining.  After reading a couple chapters, I found Sean's lectures on youtube so I could hear him speak so I could "hear" him talking when I continued to read the book.
Anyone interested in personal growth and just plain being a happier person should purchase this book.  Highly recommended, and I hope he writes another best-seller soon!  Jeff Sjoberg

I wish I could give this book ten stars!  I've read most of the great motivational books - Napolean Hill's Think and Grow Rich and Master Keys to Riches, and Norman Vincent Peal's Positive Mental Attitude, plus dozens more,  but this book summarizes them all.  If you are looking for a quick fix, this book is not it. It is a book which will make you think, examine, question.  Take it in small bites.  My volume is underlined, starred, notes in the margins.  This is a great summary of the best of the best.  If you are in a  hurry to reach your goals, this is the book you need to start with.  However, it is NOT a fast process.

If you truly wish to turn your life around, this is the book for you.  If you are not sure of where you want to go, this is the book for you. If you feel that YOU are different, that LIFE has given you some bad blows, this is the book for you.  START HERE!

Mr. Tracy will take you by the hand. Help you to eliminate your excuses.  Help you to examine your true goals. Help you to lay out your plans.  He will not let you make exuses but will hold up the mirror of self examination so you can see where you are fooling yourself (but no one else, really). He will help you face YOUR truth, but will also kindly provide the path you seek to a better life.

I am planning to buy this book for all of my employees, although I'm not sure all of them will "get it."  You make your own life; you are responsible for where you are right now...and for where you will be in the future. I am also planning to contact Mr. Tracy to see if he will be a guest speaker at my organization.

Folks, if you can buy only one book, then this is the one. I've read most of the other major players....Hill, Stone, Peale, Mandigo, Clawson, Collins....and they're all great.  Many of them are at your local library. But for the very small price of this book, I recommend that you buy Maximum Achievement so that you, too, can underline, write, reread, make notes, and totally consume this book.  This is not a paid advertisement. I have never met Mr. Tracy nor have ever read any of his other books (however, I intend to now).

If you want to make the most of your life, this is the book which will head you down that road.

This book is literally a life-changing transcript for the blueprint of your life's purpose!  I cannot recommend it highly enough!  Not only that, but you also get The Science of Being Great, and The Science of Being Well, both equally as compelling, and easy to read.  Do not be thrown off by the title, as many people are...it could really be titled "The Science of Getting Rich in All Aspects of your Life".  Written in 1903, but seemingly more relevant than ever!

The book itself is constructed well, but could use another go-over by an editor.  Minor typos here and there.  I've ordered this book many times to give away to interested friends, and will continue to do so.  Shipping has always been as promised.

Self motivation is the base of achievement, and the prize for reading and comprehending this fresh and powerful book.
Mediocrity and underachievement is widely embraced, and yet personally worthless.  Instigated by fears and defended with lies to ourselves, underachievement  is a way of life, and a waste of life.
In  17 Lies That Are Holding You  Back & The Truth That Will Set You Free,  Steve Chandler exposes these  huge life numbing lies to the self.  As he writes, "to see them is to  see them disappear."
Dreams and magnificent possibilities are  significantly boosted in being brought to the active front of your life,  with the many insights this book has for you.
I am thrilled to have  bought and read this book.  Certainly the value of the book is far greater  than the cost of it.

This book is a must read for any individual looking to improve their self esteem or working directly towards a better life.  It has simple step-by-step solutions in how to actively improve your communication, understanding of self, and riding the wave of those pesky wacky emotions that come up day to day.  The author offers her own personal experiences with real-world, hands on exercises and questions to assist the reader towards a healthier emotional state.  There are no magic bullets, but adding the use of this book, whether it be reading from it from cover to cover or merely picking up a page and working from it, it's a great tool to improve your day to day living experience.  I cannot recommend it enough!

This book is fantastic- not only are the lessons quick, entertaining, and thought-provoking, but they provide actionable take aways that can be used to enhance our lives, starting today. Concepts like "work- life balance" have become a hot topic, but Pat takes a different spin and offers plenty of ideas to keep business thriving, while still focusing on what matters most- family. This book encompasses it all- business, personal, family, and community enhancement concepts that leave you feeling ready to re-shape your life.

This book is a godsend.  It does not matter what changes you hope to adopt, this book will motivate and guide you to a better you.  The content is applicable to those who suffer from great loss of self as well as the ordinary person who merely looks to better tackle daily obstacles like motherhood and job discontentment.  I found great inspiration in the pages of the Snowball Effect and I find myself eager to start each day and implement the tools that the book has blessed me with.  Not only did I find a way to build positive momentum in my own life, but I have also gained great insight into offering guidance to my close friends who have run adrift in their relationships.  I would encourage everyone to read this succinct literary offering.  It will aid you in ways you don't even know that you need in your relationships and life outlook.

As the title of my review says, this book talks about the things that most of us know we should be doing but arent!  In all my years of studying personal development, I have never seen the 'playbook' of how to use everything that we know we should be doing laid out so simply and beautifully!  I read this book about 30 days ago, and the amount of increase in my life since I started doing the Miracle Morning is absolutely insane!  I feel 100 times better, I get more done each day than I ever thought possible and it has helped transform my closest friends and family into a much higher level circle of influence.  I have had the opportunity to see Hal live as well, which was icing on the cake!  If you aren't accomplishing what you want in life, this book is for you.  People at every skill level will benefit from this book, whether you are a CEO or in highschool.  I highly recommend - the more people that live at this level, the better for all of us!

Gabi Rupps 52 Chef Habits is absolutely a must-have for anyone who is looking to positively improve their life. She has created a weekly habit planner that each week provides a way to change the readers lifestyle in terms of eating, fitness, or overall happiness. On one side of the page there are simple, easy steps to helping incorporate change, ideas for how to reward oneself after completion of the change, and ideas for triggers (which remind the reader to follow through with the change). On the next page will be space for the week where you can write down your own rewards and triggers, a quote that applies to the change, space for a meal plan, as well as the date for which you instilled your change. There is one new change for each of the 52 weeks. The idea of the book is simple: introduce small, doable changes into your life that you are able to keep and full-fill for the long-term. The little changes, added up over time, will result in a noticeable difference in ones life. None of the changes are drastic, nor do they cost copious amounts of money. They can be used by anyone and everyone who is seeking guidance in becoming healthier and happier. Some of the changes include practicing meditation, developing a positive attitude, cutting out shopping, drinking green tea, motivating your kids for clean eating, getting more sleep, stopping emotional eating, and simplifying meal planning. Although everyone knows what they should be doing to be healthy, it can be difficult putting the ideas into motion. With this book, I was able to get the motivation and accountability I needed to be incorporating these changes into my life. As a result, I have been eating healthier, exercising more, and most importantly, feel like I have successfully made myself healthier. If you want to take care of your body and mind, buy this book, use it, and make yourself proud!

"Color Your Life Happy" is an excellent read for anyone wishing to find balance in their life while receiving easy tips for finding joy in everything we do an experience. Filled with personal honesty, "a-has" and practical exercises, this book has already helped me to improve my happiness in areas where I hadn't realized it was lacking. This book is touching, often humorous and relatable. Her book culminates with one of the most phenomenal chapters I've ever read in a self-improvement book--second to last chapter--"Handling Change and Bouncing Back." Not only does Ms. Brown courageously open her heart to share her own personal trials and how she overcame them but she also conveys through powerful words and anecdotes that in post-disappointments, we have the strength to dust off and keep going. Thank you, Flora Brown!
