Highly motivating and inspiring, easy to read, and a realistic one day read.  It has no fluff so it makes you want to read more.  Matts book is applicable to various professions, not just real estate.  His I can/will repetitive style makes you want to get up and start NOW.  I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to makes positive and powerful changes in both their personal and professional life.

This book, like everything I've read from Farnoosh, is full of advice based on experience that I find practical and easy to put into action. She has a way of relating that inspires and motivates towards real, do-able action.
So, I offer the ultimate feedback on Ms. Brock's efforts to motivate: I read, reviewed and put her advice into action, all within about 2.5 hours!
The most rewarding thing about her writing is that I always feel as though she is really invested personally in the advice & experience she offers for our consideration . . . and a quick trip to the Prolific Living website will show you that, indeed, she is invested. In deed.
Thanks, Farnoosh! Keep it coming!

I am really really impressed by this book! Its so practical and it gets straight to the point. Cuts all the fluff and feels like the author is speaking right to you.

I still give the book 5 stars although I don't agree with absolutely everything that it says (for e.g. I believe that we musn't be  'realistic' with our aspirations-we must always aspire to reach the stars! even though the book at times may seem to imply otherwise in regard to goal setting but then again in the beginning it says nothing in life is impossible! so yay! I am all for that!)

This book is packed with great advice and ideas that can really change your life for the better! Go for it!

I was one of the first ones to read this motivational book and it moved me from the beginning. I found myself wanting to do more, to exercise more. I suddenly wanted to accomplish more out of my life physically. The author writes in an easy to read no nonsense manner. He seems to speak directly to the reader making you feel like it's a one on one coaching session. Motivation, Get it, Keep it, is an amazing book by an seasoned athlete and professional coach.

I am so impressed by The Energy Shift. I read Ritu's first book, The Light Shift, and happily agreed to review her latest work. The Energy Shift correlates well with her first book, which I recommend reading as well, yet it stands strong on its own.

The Energy Shift came at the perfect time in my life and was just the advice I needed. Ritu has written a book that even someone like me, who struggles with energy and motivation, could find applicable. It has stuck with me since I finished it.

The Energy Shift is not only inspirational, but a truly motivating and useful book. It's short and concise, very easy to read, and I think it will capture the mind of anyone (young or old) willing to pick it up. Honestly, my only qualms with this book is that I would love for it to be longer! I definitely recommend it.

Alex masterfully blends real personal stories, hard-hitting logic/evidence, and incredibly inspiring motivation (no fluff here). If you take this book to heart and put it into practice - which I guarantee the passionate writing will make you want to do - your life will never be the same!

I've watched my mother go through this exact journey - she tried unsuccessfully for years to lose weight and improve her health. Although some of her efforts were temporarily successful, it was not until she made a MINDSET and LIFESTYLE change that the results became permanent. She looks and feels awesome - and what's more, living this way is a JOY and not a chore.

"Master the Day" helps you get on the path to a true, lasting transformation. It's a thoroughly-researched guide to living better - and not only in terms of your health and weight. The same principles can be applied to help you take control of your life and achieve your goals/dreams in many other areas. Highly recommended!

Shortcut to Prosperity made a genuine impact on my work and career growth. As luck would have it, I finished this book on a Monday night and 24 hours later had a big, scary, awesome opportunity land in my lap. It kicked off an, "I'm not sure I'm qualified for this" moment... but I made myself read through my shortcut exercises from the end of each chapter. I then realized I absolutely had the skills for the project. I was able to look at what I wrote down in the creative tension activity and feel really good about next steps :) I highly recommend going through the activities in this book, and keep an active journal, as Mark suggests.

My favorite anecdote (I have several) from the book is the following: "I can learn anything that I want to commit the time and effort to understand". It's empowering with a healthy dose of personal accountability thrown in.

Shortcut to Prosperity is a powerful read. I'll use my notes and the planning exercises for months to come.

As an executive coach and colleague of Denise's, I throughly enjoyed this book.  Read it in one sitting!  Some things I particularly liked include:  - Her ability to describe the process of change in a clear, actionable, and attainable way
- Her integration of multiple resources to solidly ground recommendations
- Models, assessments, and tools designed to be quick and simple without compromising impact.  The book is all about getting to action, fast.
- Her authenticity and vulnerability in sharing about her own journey.  Case studies from her thriving coaching practice add further color to core concepts.
- Her balanced and compassionate perspective, combining inspiration with humor, challenge with support.

This is a great resource that I highly recommend!

Don't be intimidated by the author's millionaire friends and extreme sports and exploits of world travel, let it become motivation to fuel your fire. As Tom Oliver shares, he overcame a number of difficult obstacles to reach success that includes working with a number of A-list celebrities.

What Oliver brings to the table apart from many books about goals and dreams is a number of practical exercises at the end of each chapter on success that you can do, and he spells out the exercises in an easy to understand format, along with a helpful indicator of how long the technique should take. (Most only take a few minutes).

He is passionate to be sure, and you will feel the passion as his enthusiasm is contagious. A couple techniques he offers is to write down 15 things that are beneficial to any problem. Tony Robbins calls this asking quality questions such as "how can I use this" and "what is great about this".

He discusses the importance of creating your own psychological trigger to put yourself in a peak state before working at a task. He covers the importance of rituals that move you towards your goal each day. I especially like his strategy that for each negative thought about someone or something, count on each finger something positive that you could notice instead. It trains your mind to move towards what empowers you instead of towards criticism.

His book is filled with motivating quotes and also chapter summaries and a recommended reading list. This book is the total package. Repetition is the mother of skill. Some things you will find familiar, some you will find unique, overall what you will find is a map to your dreams!

Picked up this book and ripped through it in a day or two because: 1) It's easy to read and digest, and 2) Katie keeps hitting you with these one-liners that make you say "a-ha!" one right after the other. You can feel the author's energy radiating through the pages and it just motivated me even more. I definitely identified with the advice and experiences of the author, and so was able to apply her recommendations to my own life. My productivity and time management has skyrocketed because of this book. I start my week so organized and calm and looking forward to what's ahead. Thanks for this!

I've read self-help books before aboui finding the right one, but, this one really struck a chord!  Down to earth, practical, and easy to work through. Simple AND powerful!  I went through the book, and the exercises too, and learned a great deal about myself and my 'picking' habits.  I now know what I want, what's on the 'B' list, and so much more.

I recommend this to women in and out of relationships - you will learn a lot about yourself and feel empowered!  I did one of the workshops, too, and it was fun, and opened my eyes a lot more to how to make better choices without being preached at or berated.  Denise leads a group wonderfully, so you do your own discovering and your growth sprouts from within - effortlessly!  Thank you Denise!

This book is a POWERHOUSE of PRINCIPLES for conquering your fears, creating abundance, and compelling yourself to Action!

If you're simply looking for another "feel good" book, than pass this one over. Kim George takes you on a rollercoaster ride of identifying the barriers that keep you from achieving sustainable success and sweeps you along towards your day of destiny where "I can't" becomes "I did" and scarcity becomes abundance.

I am the best-selling author of 9 books and when it comes to rapidly gaining a deep understanding about how a person can stop sabotaging and start succeeding, I can think of few other people who can do it as quickly and easily as Kim George. She did it for me and I'm confident she can do it for you too.

Don't walk, RUN to the nearest store and BUY THIS BOOK. The only thing you'll ever regret is why you didn't apply these principles sooner.

So when are you going to start living into your greatness?

Fantastic book. This is one of the first books on personal training I ever bought, and it was all that I needed to go from getting my certification to earning income on the side as a trainer, without having to quit my day job (yet...).

Clear, concise, and POWERFUL advice. Jon cuts to the core and tells you exactly what every personal trainer needs to know if they're going to be an effective and successful coach.

Buy this book, follow the advice in it, and have faith in it. The results are quick to appear with some hard work when you have the path laid out before you!

There are many motivational books that try to motivate the reader by sharing stories of other people overcoming obstacles to achieve success.  There are also many books that tell you, to simply try harder or focus more on your goals, in order to achieve them.  I think this book is unique because it actually shows you how to  think and apply the right principles to your own life.  The author has an incredible way, of explaining things very clearly so that it has a profound impact on the reader.  You can quickly think for yourself what needs to be done in any area of your life and for you to take action in doing it!  In other words the author is not giving you a rah rah speech, but actually teaching you how to think and apply, so that you can get terrific results you are wanting in your life!  Yes you will feel motivated, but even on the days you don't feel great, you still will want to do the things you decided you should do, instead of making excuses or feeling guilty.  Simply put you will take action regardless of any mental or outside distractions,  so that you can enjoy the results.
