— Nancy, 1/23/2014" Listened to the book on tape. John Maxwell was easy to listen to and the points were well defined. Really enjoyed the insight. "
— Brenda, 1/19/2014" I didn't love the book which I thought was really lacking in terms of my needs for a social justice framework and addressing systems of inequality...I also hated his idea that only unsuccessful people make decisions motivated by survival. Obviously a high-income straight white male would say that because he hasn't been forced to struggle in a system formed to oppress him... Obviously survival wouldn't occur to those this society deifies... "

— Rania, 6/19/2013" how to think for a change. When you have big issues, you really need to think of them from a variety of perspectives in order to make sound decisions. When you have small issues, this is just a good way to prepare for bigger ones. "
— Christopher, 6/12/2013" Excellent book with insightful suggestions. It's more about a way of preparing, organising and sorting you activities in a meaningful way than just thinking. Read it, you will learn something if you are willing to read just ten pages. "

— Diann, 10/3/2010" A really nice book for self improvement =) "

— Lauren, 3/27/2010" if now you're eating, then eat. if now you're sleeping, then sleep. That's the theory, above that.. harmonize and balance your day.. "
— Martha, 3/10/2010" I have to admit I only gave this book twenty pages. Maybe it got interesting or helpful after that but I'll never know since it's in the trunk of the car to be taken to the salvation army thrift store as a donation tomorrow morning. "

— Nart, 6/22/2009" This was an easy read and worth the time. However, it is a bit overly simplistic. Life is not hardly as black or white as this book seems to portray. But still, commonsense tactics and a good reminder of tangible things to do for self-improvement. "
