This book has some descent knowledge if you're already okay with woman, social situations, and can read people a bit.

If you are none of the above it may help but it may just confuse you. I think almost everyone can take a little something useful away from it.

Don't fool yourself into thinking this will be a magic cure all for your woman woes. If you read this but never leave your house or approach women you might as well not bother.

If you have only makeshift knowledge of Git acquired by osmosis, cheat sheet, and asking your office buddy, you will reach a point where it becomes necessary to learn Git systematically and comprehensively.  With that in mind, I have tried reading several different books about Git over the last few years, but they all lacked, well, readability, and I soon set them aside and moved on to other interests.

If that is your experience too, then like me you live with minor trepidation that accompanies encounters with Git, where we are able to get by for simple operations, but with hesitation and uncertainty about what Git might actually do when we finally enter the command.

What sets this new book apart is its readability, and its overall design intended to teach and explain, not just document.  This is a fine book by a talented author.  I am only part way in, but this is the book I have needed to learn Git thoroughly and to use it effectively and with confidence.

You can use Git for years without knowing much about it, or you can read the right book and actually know what you are doing.  This is the right book.

Let be honest with each other. 90% of your stuff is useless. I know it, you know it too! So what you can do to find the exit? Just read this book, and realize what you actually need! So go for it!

While I appreciated the authors humility and his very straightforward style, this book is more suitable for people who actually have something to leverage in the first place. I agree with another reviewer who stated that if you are coming from absolutely nothing, this book will be of little or no use.

I don't agree with some of the authors accretions when he states that its better to have an entrepreneurial mindset as opposed to having an education. This doesnt apply (for the most part) when it comes to very poor people. For people living in poverty, the only true way to achieve anything is to attain a certain level of education first. Once you have that, then you can pursue your goal. Its not absolute of course, but it certainly helps. There would be exceptions to the rule when you consider Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg. But they are the lucky one per cent. Remember, 99% of us aren't so lucky.

Overall, this book has some great insights and genuinely sets out to help people to improve their financial situation, regardless of your age. The title is perhaps a bit miss leading, since anybody could improve their financial situation by reading this book.

This is the book you need.  But you gotta be willing to put the effort in if you buy it.  I read every chapter twice because while it is very clear he's not babying it down for anyone.

To be honest, there's no new knowledge in the book; the author doesn't hide that either. But as the saying goes: "There's some advice you have heard all along, but you don't heed it. You need someone else to tell it to you in your face to make an impact." So buy this book and allow it to slap you in the face the advice that was staring at you all along. ;-)

A excellent book for newbies like me.  It explains how it all works.  How to go about it and step by step instructions for an excellent result.  If you go into something like this without this book you are most likely to fail.  I loved reading and learning so much.  I recommend reading it and learning.  It can make a difference in your life.  I was given a review copy and voluntarily review it.

What does it matter if the crux of the matter is on the first page or the last as long as it is between the covers,
is true, and it works.  For those who contest the validity of the codes I can only say, "You are selling yourself so short by not actually using them."  Therein lies the problem.  It's so easy to sling mud at people when you have little to no information on the subject.  The key to the issue... read!  And don't judge this book until you have honestly read it, lived it, and have personally felt the positive difference it has made in your life.
If on the other hand you don't find any positive changes then the rightful conclusion would have to be that the door
to your subconscious is welded shut.  Until you stop pointing fingers the message will continue to hover out of your reach.  And remember, when you are pointing a finger at this book, there are 3 others pointing, right back at you.

If you only get a couple of good tips out of this book, it is well worth the time spent reading it.  I DID.

Follow the instructions in this book and you will reach your goals and accomplish more than the other 90%+ people in the world living day to day without a plan.  Minor changes in our daily rituals add up to major changes in our lives.  Brian Tracy has made a fortune pointing out the obvious to his readers, but he deserves it.  He is living proof of his advise.  This book is redundant in many ways, and if you've read or listened to Brian, you'll recognize most of what he says.  Nevertheless, study and practice the various methods he teaches.  Little by little this stuff sinks in.

This book has some really great info that works. The trick is that you actually have to put it into practice.

It is a book well worth reading. Having finished it, though, I can see that it deserves a second reading. The instructions that are given are simple enough to follow. However, the real challenge will be putting them into practice as part of your life. I believe that for someone to benefit from this book they will need to have an open mind.

Do More Better isn't a book you read, it's a book you work through. It is a tool, or better, a toolbox of tools that you will use to take your life apart, examine all the pieces, and then put it back together again with greater functionality. Charlie's does a great job of guiding you through the process.  The past two weeks of my life, which were busier than normal, flowed more smoothly than they have in a long time.

The strength of DMB is the step-by-step instructions Challies provides for bringing order out of chaos.  I am indebted to him for teaching me how to set up tools I was already using, in some instances, such as Evernote, for 3-4 years, to get far more out of them. My task manager and Calendar are actually working the way they were designed to.

The weakness I see in DMB is that the early chapters, which focus more on the philosophy behind his system are uncharacteristically not well done. In an effort to keep them brief, in my opinion, Challies seems to write to an audience that is already knowledgeable of the material and on board. As a result, it may not be as helpful as it might have been to someone being introduced to these concepts for the first time.  To me, they were flat. They didn't stimulate thought. They were unconvincing, uninteresting, and they made me want to do the very thing Challies ask the reader not to do: skip them.

Despite the weakness of the early chapters, the nuts and bolts chapters are golden, and well worth the price of the book and the time invested to work through it.
