Clear and Action Oriented

I was not sure what to expect when I stated reading this book. I was familiar with the principles outlined but how it was laid out made it actionable and presented in a way that makes you want to read it again. I have already shared it with my team and am adopting the mantra "lead with service"

This is a good read and an easy to follow exercise book to create a navigation plan that discerns between the 'shoulds' and the 'because i want to's'. The underlying premise is based on the Law of Attraction so don't expect anything brand new. Expect that it is another version and a well presented version at that.
This is the first book i have read of Danielle's and i enjoyed it. I felt like we were having a conversation at our local coffee shop. It was genuine and real. It has some cussing in it, but i feel they were well placed as no other word would make quite the same impact and it just summed up the point as i personally would have called it. This also added to a connection to the author and not just another author 'out there'. Ultimately, the book has spurred on my creative juices as i think daily about reaching my core desired feelings, refining and reviewing the true feelings i wish to experience regularly. If you're new to looking at consciously creating life through a feeling guidance system, this is a great book to start with. If you've kicked around awhile with the law of attraction and are still seeking out knowledge banks in this topic then i'd like to say this is the one that will make you take the final leap of no return for seeking out more info on LoA, goal setting and the like.

I teach aqua strength and aerobic classes.  I was looking for some moves low or no-impact moves to integrate into my program as my students include seniors who have had joint replacements and have back and spine issues.  This book did not disappoint.  The clear line-drawings are very clear and it is easy to understand each movement.  Heart rate is emphasized and so is deep, rhythmic breathing which is essential with Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi.

This book gives a clear explanation with simple words and similar instances. I can understand most of them. It's worth to read it.

The explanation is simple; even the more "abstract" topic in chapter one is clearly presented for an Agile novice like myself.

The rest of the book is the typical Alistair Cockburn style; information is communicated rather than purely transferred as instructions. The communicative style of writing from Mr Cockburn makes the book an enjoyable read. And he is not afraid to make place for different views - even those that does not necessarily supports his own views.

Clean, clear, and concise - this book delivers what the title promises.

This is a well-organized book that clearly lays out actionable items to make your day more productive.  It emphasizes healthy habits to feel stronger and thus enable one to tackle projects to become better organized.  Multi-tasking is a habit we all have but this book has proof that it's actually detrimental to being effective. A short read packed with useful ways to manage your day.

Sweeney is very clear and engaging. I've learned a lot from his videos and this book carries over his insight to a handy FAQ book format. I give it four stars instead of five because I was hoping for just a bit more meat, but I have no regret in purchasing it.

Mr. Dimon has nailed it with a clear, concise approach to enterprise performance management.  His writing style keeps the reader engaged through an otherwise dry topic and his use of graphics makes the more therotical concepts much clearer and actionable.  Any organization could benefit from Mr. Dimon's analysis and insights - I know my business will.

Dr. Niederman's style is direct and clear. Drawing on eastern spirituality and modern psychotherapy techniques, Dr. Niederman outlines how to develop a personal spiritual practice, awareness of self, and thinking patterns. I didn't feel like it was repetitive or the same old woo woo spirituality. It's practical and offers real suggestions for enhancing your connection to yourself and spirit.

Since reading this book, using these practices and doing yoga more regularly, I think I am more calm and even. I found myself in some stressful situations and I didn't seem to react as much as past versions of myself would have. I think this book can be helpful for people wanting to calm their brain and anxiety through holistic means.

This book is written in a very clear and concise fashion. It contains excellent examples and case studies that are quite illustrative of the principles presented in the book.
The author proposes three laws that are instrumental to a successful business alliance. After reading the book I now also consider those laws to be essential for a successful alliance.
Personally, while previously executing on those laws to some extent without truly realizing it, going forward it will be much more effective to proactively pursue the intentional implementation of the laws on a regular basis when managing business alliances.

Very nicely presented and the key elements discussed. I especially like his approach setting up the goals and objectives early on. 2 areas (I haven't finished reading but quite a ways through it now) might be his suggestions to improve on the draw to sight-picture and moving laterally with targets in various locations around you. But can't put everything in a book....worth getting a copy!

Great book.  Short, specific, and actionable. I bought it on Audible and then bought a hard copy so it would be easy to refer to. It is helpful for myself but also in teaching my daughters school work, piano, etc.

Larry's book comes from his perspective as an expert in reaching and as a parent. He writes it very clearly and concisely, so it's a very do-able read in a short amount of time, and effective with his principles as to not pressure our children into "over-education" when developmentally, their timing is not yet in line. Looking forward to reading a next book of his. He has personally taught a class I am in about child development and theorists, to then apply into being a teacher.

This book takes you through the process of starting a business from idea to implementation.  It is clear, engaging and enjoyable.

It helps get beyond the dullness of the usual business plan into visual activities.  If you are someone who feels stifled by the usual tedium of business plans this is probably the book you have been looking for.  Through collage, drawing and visualisation it gets you to the stuff you need to know what you need to know about starting and monitoring your business.

It is an easier and more stimulating approach to the traditional business plan.  If you are looking for a different approach to business then this isn't the book for you.  What it is, is a more enjoyable way to do your business plan.

In the kindle edition the text can be expanded but not the text in the illustrations.  This means that some of it is difficult to read.  This doesn't interfere much with the usefulness of the book, but it is certainly annoying.  Buy the hard copy.

In keeping with the concept of the series it's part of this book is a tightly written summary of how to enhance performance.  It is easy to read, brief and to the point.

The book reviews three essential components, stated as goals: 1) Define performance in actionable (and measureable) terms, 2) Measure the right things and use the right measures, 3) Reward the right things using the right rewards.  It thus covers more ground than the basic title implies, which serves to focus attention on the interrelatedness of these components.  Focus is a key gift of this book as it flows promptly through the subject matter to an action plan.

Easy to understand, and really good for hitting the ground running. I appreciated the walk-through style for learning to evaluate features; they build on each other, and it helped me start putting things into context.
