We should all be anxiously engaged and this is a great view if how.  Clear writing, positive and thought provoking.  If you listened to leadership training and wonder what should I do, this provides some great guidance.

Happiness as a Second Language is a must read if you are someone who wants to grow, develop, and quite simply, just be happier.  As a motivational speaker and consultant I come across quite a few books claiming to have the "secret to happiness".  Alexander's book was concise, well-written, and packed with practical and applicable strategies.  Include her funny stories and anecdotes and you have the recipe for a book I not only enjoyed reading but will re-read.  It is definitely worth your time.  I am already applying many of the strategies and have seen a measurable difference in my mood and outlook. It really is a fantastic book!

Jen's book offers a great perspective and practical advice. It is readable and the recommendations are practical. Her stories from her experience and coaching are especially helpful because she shares both successes and failures. Jen herself is engaging and effective - and she has written a book that offers both as well. This is a valuable read!

I read this years ago but picked up again at the advice of someone dear to me and I am beyond happy that I did. Peck gives great advice on overcoming the original sin of laziness to embrace a spiritual personal journey of continual at tuning to your unconscious godliness. Peppered with tales of patients over the years that he has helped along the journey and great advice built on those stories to help the reader along the journey. This was a very motivational read.

This is just the second book that I have read by Hattie T. Hoerner, but I have to say that I am becoming a big fan,
The author manages to take the very complex concept of seeking happiness and success and break it down into
practical, easily-understood and useful chunks.  I especially like the lists of Top 25 Productivity & Effectiveness Tips
and suggestions to jump start your imagination.  With such simple and easy to follow tips, I am looking forward to trying
out the techniques. I am definitely looking forward to exploring more of Hoerner's work.

Inspirational and insightful, this book presents clear strategies to achieve success in 10 specific steps. This guide is unique in providing fascinating case studies to illustrate and to motivate readers, no matter what stage of life they are in, but I wish I had read it when I was starting out in my career. The author's enthusiasm and conviction comes through very effectively. The book also gives access to the first part of the audiobook and the option of access to an interactive workbook. I highly recommend this book, and look forward to more from Mr. McDaniel.

I found this book to very encouraging and motivating. Mark talks a lot about setting goals in life. Growing up my family wasn't big into goal setting, and since reading this book I've realized that. Now I have been encouraged to establish goals, and not only that but to also put a deadline on when to accomplish those goals. There are a lot of things that I would love to do, things that God has been leading me to do, and I hope to accomplish several of those things in the coming year. I enjoy reading Mark Battersons books, and I'm looking forward reading his next book.

Finally a motivating, accessible, "self-help" book that is more than theory. This is a true workbook born of the author's own journey from poor health to balanced living, resulting in a genuine and entertaining example of how real people can reclaim their vibrancy and energy.  "Embracing the obstacle" is the way to go and it's a philosophy missing from many programs.  Elea's advice is genuine and easy to follow and allows for all levels of achievement, in other words you don't need to become a super athlete to feel that you've succeeded in improving your life.  If you want to make changes, i.e. if you are one of millions who are "doing more but living less", this book is a great way to get yourself moving.

In world of quick fix solutions, this book provides useful, practical and, more importantly, sustainable guidance for increasing the energy you have to invest in the things you love to do. The authors provide simple to implement strategies for getting motivated, creating a plan and sticking to it. They make it sound easy and fun, which it is! I have been a fan of the Human Performance Institute's program for almost two years and have practiced these techniques. They are indeed practical and, as a result, every day I feel I have more energy to enjoy my work, to tackle challenges with a more positive attitude, and that I also have plenty of reserves to spend quality time with my partner and friends. My life felt quite chaotic, frenetic and draining before I put these techniques into practice. Now my life feels rich and focused. Thank you!

Small lessons work best for me and that's exactly what this book provides.  Rather than pack the book with repetitive fluff surrounding a few key points, the author provides lessons learned from his own years of self-improvement exploration.  There's no new age nonsense or mumbo jumbo, and no promises of quick fixes - just thoughtful observations and practical exercises you can employ every day.  The "lazy" in the title doesn't refer to those lacking motivation, just those of us who are looking for very practical guidance on self-improvement.  Highly recommended.

Excellent advice!  Easy to follow and motivates you to keep going.  I like how each chapter is broken down in the "what", "why", "how" and "now what" format.  It's not overwhelming and it doesn't drone on and on!

This is a practical, actionable, inspiring, fast AND fun read. I read it on a plane on Friday and am putting it right to work, starting this week. The book provides just the right amount of guidance, examples, metaphors, and gives you a pattern, essentially, for successfully implementing content marketing. Links are also provided to other valuable resources for learning to master content marketing.

Timeless and well written advice, delivered with lots of humor and personal anecdotes.  Especially loved the 'reasons why to do this' with each of the 7 steps, as well as the wonderful section on fasting -- information that is rarely (if ever in my experience) seen in 'health' books, but here presented in a  practical, Biblical and compelling way.  Now, to put all this into practice!

Martin Meadows' The Ultimate Focus Strategy gets 5 stars from me because:
1. It delivers on its promise - Martin clearly communicates what the strategy is, why it works, and how to apply it to your own life situation. He identifies common obstacles that many people face, and then describes how to overcome them.
2. He does so in an engaging, easy to stay-tuned way - fun to read/listen to
3. He makes the strategy and techniques credible and relatable by drawing on personal life stories that show better how to apply the strategy/techniques to various types of goals

Martin breaks down and presents his strategy in a series of easy to follow phases and steps, and recaps at the end of each chapter - so it's easy to reinforce what you've just read/heard.

There's no fluff in here, no simplistic "go you!" inspiration - just practical insights and steps to increasing your own focus on whatever it is you want to achieve in your own life.
