"I have a number of books by John Maxwell that I have enjoyed very much. I ran across this particular book when I was browsing in the management/leadership book section at Barnes and Noble. I gleaned some great ideas from it that I want to start applying."
— Barbara (5 out of 5 stars)
“Narrator Chris Sorenson has the sensibilities and vocal charm to convey Maxwell’s message that life is more rewarding when we think more intentionally and carefully. His reading sounds calmly inspirational but has enough zip to add some welcome intensity to the author’s low-key wisdom. Along with his trademark optimism, the author delivers a solid analysis of how to use 10 different types of thinking, which include creative, reflective, strategic, and unselfish cognitions. This is an effective combination of heartfelt encouragement and thorough details on thinking habits that anyone can adopt to get more out of life.”
— AudioFile“Leadership guru/best-selling author Maxwell is a master at inspiring people to change the way they think.”
— Library Journal" Insightful. Informative. Some good points, and of course a couple of points here and there that i may not take into my planning, but over all very useful. "
— Carolina, 2/18/2014" A lot of quotes, not a lot of great ideas. Not one of John Maxwell's better books. "
— Tristan, 2/17/2014" Awesome!!! Just what I needed for focus!! "
— Jason, 2/14/2014" Nothing revolutionary, but structured common sense with some good examples. "A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss." "
— Noordiana, 2/13/2014" OK feel good book. Too many affirmations and repetition for my taste. "
— Bernie, 2/9/2014" Some day I will learn not to read "management guru" books. I am always, always disappointed. "
— Kelly, 1/25/2014" This was, again, another marvellous book from Maxwell. "
— Naomi, 1/24/2014" Good book but not up to the standards I have found in most of John's other books. "
— David, 1/19/2014" Classic John Maxwell book - full of good insights, practical principles, and great inspiring quotes. He does speak truth and I hope to be able to put into practice some of the different types of thinking that he elucidates for the reader. "
— Lauren, 1/13/2014" A super short and quick read. Nothing groundbreaking, but he does include some questions and examples that get you thinking about how you currently think. He also includes WHY each style of thinking is important and HOW to get started with it if it's something you struggle with. "
— Dawn, 12/29/2013" Over the course of the read, I gained a few thoughts...but not quite enough for me to recommend this book to others or plan to reread it in the future. "
— Steve, 12/9/2013" Quick and easy to read. You can find some useful ideas. I didn't find any fresh or new concepts. Nice to read but not highly recommended. "
— Mohamed, 12/8/2013" I enjoy reading this before I go to bed. "
— Rob, 11/28/2013" Another practical book from John C. Maxwell. Although this is certainly not his best, I liked it because it made me aware of my pattern of thinking. Maxwell encourages us to make focused and creative thinking a daily habit. "
— Marja, 10/26/2013" Another excellent yet simple book on upgrading your thinking "
— Usiere, 4/23/2013" As always John Maxwell snaps me back into reality and saves me from my whining and complaining ways to realize what got me into those situations in the first place. This is a great lil reader for the kiddies as well. "
— Tunisia, 4/1/2013" This was not all that groundbreaking, although it was a good refresher for modes of thought. It's a small pocket-size book, so for the non-reader it's a nice reference/gift. "
— Eric, 4/24/2012" It's a small book but really I like it. After reading this book I wrote this quite: successful people who learn from mistake, find from the problem opportunity, and experience from failure . "
