An insightful and helpful book that examines the leadership qualities of the author's parents (of a family of 10 children) and how those qualities can be applied to business and life in general.

I'm a strong believer that insights and distinctions that can help us in our business and personal lives can come from a variety of sources, some quite unexpected. This book is a great example of this.

This book does a great job in illustrating how important lessons that can help us in our lives and businesses can come from sources other than corporate offices and seminars. Sometimes we need to look no further than our own homes and families to learn the lessons that are most important to us.

I recommend this to anyone interested in learning about leadership from a slightly different perspective than offered in most business books.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the author after reading an early draft of the book and providing feedback.

I really enjoyed this book. Learning about the author's past and how it helped form his own emotional patterns was really interesting. His writing is heartfelt and honest.

I have been on the receiving end of anger much of my life and the anxiety that goes with it. This guide helped me see the events that can contribute to ongoing anger. I'm not saying that all angry people think the same way, but it helped me understand better.

Looking at meditation with practical "how to" instructions can really help anyone with a sincere desire to create less stress in their lives.

The book was fantastic and super helpful. Great insight to the business side of the industry. O'neill writes about what he knows and gives examples to prove it. It definitely inspired me to keep plugging away.

What an insightful book and a fun read! The author clearly knows her material and provides really helpful information that anyone could benefit from. Her skills worked wonders for me, and I know she can do the same for you! Buy this book - you won't regret it!!

The last thing a reader wants when seeking help and guidance, is another professional book full of terminology and research that requires a dictionary to get through. Nor do they want an opinion from someone who hasn't walked that same path. We are all seeking wisdom from someone who has been there, and has the degree to back up the advice they offer.  Kristin has been there, and has the degrees to back it up as well! This was a clear, concise read with helpful tools to encourage mindfulness when facing the challenges bariatric surgery patients face in their new relationship with food. I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Other than some typos and grammatical issues the former English major in me found, it was a rich resource I am sure I will turn to many times in the future!

This book is actually great for anyone. It is very insightful and helpful on simplifying our life. We always think there isn't enough time in the day, but following the information in this book, there is actually plenty of time. Organization and planning is the key and this book shows you exactly how to fit it all in without losing your mind. Great read that I believe everyone can benefit from.

This is an enjoyable read while offering practical insightful direction to current and would be leaders.  Judy clearly demonstrated several techniques and approaches I wish I had used while fulfilling several leadership roles in my career.
An additional gift inside this book is wise guidance to the day to day challenges in ones personal life.  Read Chapter Four at least twice.  Her advice about dealing with Jerks will help you outside of work equally well;  Fix it, Live with it, or Leave.

I liked this book a lot, I found it very insightful. I read it as extra work for a class I'm taking on preaching and I'll be writing a critique on it and turning it in. I found the authors information encouraging and easy to understand, simple to follow. I also really appreciated the emphasis on prayer during your preparation of a sermon. While I don't know that I am called to be a preacher, I've certainly felt better equipped after having read this book.

I would also like to say that when I had initially picked this book up I was concerned that the focus was going to be stuck on simply technique. But I was really encouraged and surprised to find that while the authors do focus a lot on that aspect of preaching, they are still focused on the reality of what preaching is. This isn't a book about how to preach good or better, but an encouragement to anyone who is just starting out with preaching.

I liked how there are whole chapters on various conditions and that dietary suggestions are given for foods to eat not just products to take. Very insightful and a valuable resource. Im already rereading the chapters for the advice applicable to me.

I bought this book after a read an guest blog posting by Dr. Glover on a mens' website. When the shipment came I was filled with buyers regret for some reason, thinking I did not need this book. After skimming through the book a couple days in a row I finally had a chance to read it a week later - and I read the whole thing in one (long) Sunday. It is a fantastic read and eye-opening even though I don't consider myself too much of a "nice guy." It is helpful to know why and where conditioning comes from - something I had not ever thought about before.

As a bonus Dr. Glover talks about ways to use your masculinity to achieve greater success in the financial realm. Highly recommended and very surprising and insightful.

I liked how this book focused, in a clinical way, on the differences between the study's overall population and the alphas. The explanation of the methodology also helped me slot the findings into my own experiences. This was a very insightful and helpful book. My biggest takeaway is the observation that leadership and management are different things. Wow. This explains so many of my struggles. I can manage things pretty well but have trouble with people who are working with different agendas. It's time to start working on the leadership side of the equation.

This book offers a very helpful approach to leadership development. Very insightful and helpful. I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate the test report summarized my strengths and weaknesses.

I picked up this book because I've had some frustrations at work and have been wrestling with what I might be able to do to help effect change, or even to better understand the situation I'm in. It's an easy read and has some great insights and advice. I especially appreciate the little 'in tweets" summaries of each chapter.

It's not necessarily earth-shattering stuff, but it's good things to think about, and has helped me think more about my own workplace.

This is a really insightful book. Using examples from his experience, I found myself identifying with many of the situations portrayed.
I was able to fill three pages of my own version Cliff Notes which now contains invaluable direction and practical ways to develop better relationship's with teams and subsequently lead much more effectively.
Highly recommended reading for anyone in buisiness.
