For those who like this kind of book...
If you think you'd find a lot of unrelated platitudes interesting, then you'll enjoy this book.

Best NLP bookfor recommended readings in training
NLP is the study of excellence and the technology of achievement and success. NLP is a wonderful model to enhance communication, personal change and personal development. The way you think affects the internal and external language and the actions you take. This in turn affects the way you behave and the reactions you get. I have used NLP techniques while trainingmeirc participants on all subjects in dubai seminars and it is certainly as defined "The difference that makes the difference". Learn it, use it and develop it, the results keep getting better and better.

New Technology for the New World
Neuro Semantics has always been based on what WORKS - as established by timeless trial and error - rather than chasing the latest theory. That is what I liked about this book. It distilled the applications away from the fluff and theory. I've learned in 3 hours of reading enough methodology to give me the edge in the collective bargaining agreements I frequently facilitate.
Great NLP technics !
I was totally new to this subject and found the CD to be a great way to learn and try the different proposed techniques. They have in deed helped me and I use them almost everyday. NLP is a powerful way to associate/focus on what I want and disassociate/liberate from what I don't want. I really like it. ... Read more

Highly Recommended!
Brian Tracy seems to have the answer for everything, including how to get that raise and promotion. Actually, his point is that you have the answer to everything, if only you can achieve clarity - knowing exactly what you want and how to get there - while disciplining yourself to work toward your objective. Can it really be that easy? Well one thing's for sure, reading this book will make it a lot easier. This volume offers 21 short chapters of clearly presented, easy to absorb (if not always strictly grammatical) material. We from getAbstract recommend it to anyone in any field who aspires to be promoted. After all, would you turn down more money? We didn't think so.

It's pretty good
Don't buy this book.Instead, buy a cup of coffee at the bookstore and take 20 minutes out to read it at the bookstore. 21 Fortune Cookies in 98 pages
No exaggeration: You would fair better by grabbing a handful of fortune cookies at a Chinese food resturant.This book is simply a list of obvious "good to do" habits for work.Read more

Among my first batch of books...greatest influence on attaining personal achievement in life!
The first batch of significant books that had the greatest influence on me in terms of attaining personal achievement includes mostly Napoleon Hill's books:
The Distilled Power Of Thinking And Growing Rich...
Sure, this is a wonderful starter kit (yes, I do have this book...) in addition to Hill's other books like "Think and Grow Rich", "The Master Key To Riches", et al. But more than that, it is a primer that makes you hungry for the mental nourishment of his full "Law Of Success" which I have just ordered through Amazon. And why am I giving this distillation five stars? C'mon, isn't it obvious, through these *distilled* principles you get a pretty good taste of the "spirit-voice" of Napoleon Hill. And when he says in later versions of "Think and Grow Rich" - 'through these pages we have met'. You know what he means here, even though it is shortened and edited. So, I've said enough, get started, happy reading.
Conceive... Believe... Achieve
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve."

Pretty Good
Yeah I was forced to read this by my boss...but it was quick and worthwhile.I am an experienced manager but I still picked up some valuable tips. This is worth while reading- short, to the point, and informative

Universally applicable!
This is one of my favorite books. It is geniusly simple, respectful and powerful. I was surprised to find out that I can easily apply the 3 principles in almost every relationship. So many people around deserve to be praised and taught a lesson and it is very important HOW you will do it because the final result can be very positive or just the opposite. It is a very valuable book which is very well written and is a fast read. I also highly recommend the other books from the One Minute Manager series because every book has a lot to offer and they will be especially helpful if you are in a business environment.

Plenty of nuggets, but not a feast
One of the promises I make to my students in MGT 512 is that if they recommend a business book, I will buy it, read it and review it.
Good General Principles Trust Your Workers
These are good business principles to live by. Involve your workers, and better yet, make them feel like they are a vital part of your organization. A Leadership Book Worth Reading
Flight of the Buffalo discusses the fact that the business world has changed. To stay competitive business leaders must also change and change the way our businesses operate. The only things that are constant are that change will continue to impact the way business is done and the speed of this change will continue to increase. How do you satisfy (retain) that current customer, or acquire that next customer in this continually changing competitive environment?First, as a leader you must learn to learn and learn at a faster rate. The foundation for all change is learning. Second, it is important that changes be made to the organizational culture in order to accomplish the changes required by the organization to allow employees to lead. The culture needs to change to remove the mentality that we are all victims because we have no control over any of the tasks required to make the customer happy, to one in which we all have ownership of the problems our companies/customers face. There are a number of obstacles that stand in our way as leaders. Many leaders within our companies hesitate to empower their employees and give them responsibilities for fear that they will not have anything to do themselves. Anyone who struggles with relinquishing control and trusting their coworkers to share in the responsibilities of the organization should read this book.Read more

This book helped me turn my life around
Brian Tracy is one of my all time favorite authors. Maximum Achievement was the first book I read in the self-development genre more than ten years ago. The book is packed with practical information and Tracy knows his human psychology. He answers questions like: What drives human beings? What motivates us? Why don't we take action on knowledge we already have?
Excellent book and resource
I highly recommend this book.It is packed with a lot of good information and insights and is really uplifting, but on a very practical and pragmatic level.It doesn't give you a lot of BS or vague general platitudes, and does provide a lot of useful stuff in my opinion.And it covers a pretty broad range of topics, on how to be more effective.I keep it handy to refer back to and re-read.

The best book I've ever read-seriously
If you even have an ounce of ambition in your body, you must read this book.It is so positive and inspiring, and completely changed the way that I see myself, others, and creating wealth.I'm reading it again just for fun. ... Read more

Good Ideas Impractically Presented
In my attempts to learn from people that I consider effective leaders, I've noticed that they seem to share several characteristics.However, I've never been able to adequately summarize these qualities in as clear a manner as John Maxwell does in Thinking For A Change.Maxwell isolates the thinking traits of successful individuals and provides examples on how application of these traits can improve a situation or a life.To put it simply, I've never read a more concise synopsis of the thought characteristics that distinguish the successful from the unsuccessful.
Thinking for a change
This book is very insightful and helped me to see things in a different perspective. I believe it has helped me to think differently and that it has helped me become a more effective and productive leader at work. I highly recommend it to all who want to increase their leadership abilities and learn new strategies and thinking skills.

It Can Help You think
John Maxwell is a prolific author in the area of leadership.While this book applies to any leader, it has applications much broader than that.

Power of Full Engagement - The Choice is Yours
An extremely practical guide to full engagement through the management of personal energy.The book explains in detail how to get the most of life through the choices we make.It is heaped with case studies to illustrate the dynamics of personal energy.It provides a holistic approach to getting the most of life through an awareness of physical energy, emotional energy, mental energy and spiritual energy.An easy read that will engage anyone interested in living a fuller life.

Rest has had a bad rap!
This book reinforces the importance of rest. The authors speak of managing energy rather than time and eschew the benefits of taking strategic breaks all day long. When I do this, I am more productive, more energized. When I plow through a day from morning to night without a break, my ability to complete tasks lag. The Power of Full Engagement explained why this was so and gave me helpful coping strategies to manage my wavering energy levels.

A different perspective. Yet quite knowledgeable and helpful!
First of all, let's see whether you can accept the ideas below:-

A good book
This is a good book it's longer then some of her other ones and it has a lot more exercises in it then some of her other books so unless you have a lot of time on your hands it will take a while to read it. But, other then that it is a good book and I did enjoy it. I'm going to start to read practical intuition in love.

More for self-employed people
If you are self-employed this is helpful as entrepreneurs are intuitive by nature. Could have been edited better. Another great book is Lynne Robinson's"Divine Prosperity" which I believe, includes, The Prosperity Prayer.
Reframes Thinking on Intuition
From a practical standpoint, Day separates thinking of emotions, pure logic and reasoning from intuition. She defines this intuitive thinking as logical and, essential for success. Her thoughts are quite compelling. Rather than the pure gut feeling or abstractions that generally constitute intuition, Day develops an understanding of how this skill can be cultivated from both thought and feeling. Rather than an illogical urge, it becomes a developed sense. The exercises and examples extensively developed empower the reader to adapt this skill for personal achievement. A good read. ...

Success secrets from the Giants
In this great audio program, Napolean Hill shares the secrets he learned from Carnegie, Ford, Edison and other legendary giants of the early 20th century.--- and the common set of universal principles that Hill discovered at the root of their success. Good to Hear the Old Man Speak
I like listening to the inflections and style of that old Napoleon Hill. Keep in mind that the audio is kinda rough to listen to because it was recorded a long time ago. The ideas and thoughts of this person will live on forever.

Excellent !
A tape that you will want to listen to time and time again. Listening to Napoleon Hill himself is mesmerising. His story, his findings and his subsequent philosophy is so easy to understand and even easier to put intoaction. Good Luck to all who heed his advice ! ... Read more

This book pays for itself
If you read and follow the principles in this book you will make enough money on your trades to pay for this book many times over. I have been active in the market for years (Averaging <20% return a year) and I agree with this author completely having lived out the greed, fear, and mistakes he talks about.Read this book and save yourself a lot of unnecessary losses.
One of the top TA books
This book is a gem amongst average books.I've read about 100 Technical Analysis books... and I've gone back and re-read this one 6 times.Very important.

A Good Read!
Doc Morey's inexpensive, practical book takes a no-nonsense approach to operating effectively on the telephone. He gives special attention to people who perform customer-service and sales roles. The book briefly describes common worker-on-the-phone problems and offers a quick rundown on how to overcome them. Its concise format helps make it a handy reference guide for anyone who regularly works on the telephone. The specific, efficient tools offered actually can increase your telephone effectiveness, so we [...] recommend this book for anyone who uses the phone in business, especially telemarketers and customer service representatives. Supervisors might want to take a look, as well, so they can train staffers and develop guidelines.

Great book about making better decisions
"Yes or No" is a story about the process of decision making and how it can be improved to make better decisions.The book tells the technique through a story of "a man" who goes on a hike with a group and learns of the 2 questions he needs to ask himself when making decisions.
Many Will Find Help Here with Decision-Making
Johnson offers a very helpful book in this volume.He presents a simple guide for decision-making, one that will undoubtedly enhance the process for many persons.He essentially describes a two-step decision procedure, examining one's thinking on a given issue, then examining one's feelings on the same subject. Better results and wiser decisions
Being a person who can never make up their mind, I decided it wouldn't hurt to read a book about better decision making. I enjoyed reading this book because it told a story about a man who used a 'Yes' or 'No' system to make better decisions.This made it easier to understand and apply the system to your own problems. In the story the man talks to many people who have used the system sucessfully. They give him lots of examples on how to arrive at better decisions.The 'Yes' or 'No' system is broken down into two main questions to ask yourself when making decisions. One is a practical question and the other is a private question. This allows you to use the system while making personal decisions or buisness decisions. Every day we are all faced with decisions, big and small. I have realized, from reading this book, that I seem to not think my decisions through as well as I should. I am sure that many other people share similar problems.This book acknowledges what we may not want to admit to ourselves. That many of us are knowingly making poor decisions, but we do not have the time or effort to turn them into better decisions. Reading this book may sound like a life saver to some people, but of course not everyone is going to walk away with better decision making skills.Like everything else in life, it will take time and patience to improve your decision making. But for those of you who would like to, this book could start you off on your way to turning poor decisions into better ones. ... Read more

A must read book!
This is a must read for anyone involved in communications - with your boss, your colleagues, your clients, your suppliers, your spouse or partner, your kids, your friends (have I missed anyone out?).
Terrific, Enjoyable and Useful
Have you ever had a challenging conversation with a spouse, co-worker, friend, or family member that didn't turn out so well?Did you ever wonder how to best deal with a significant person in your life without causing stress when needing to approach a topic? The authors give great advise to handle most conversations that might otherwise cause stress.
Get a Grip on the Dreaded "Difficult Conversation"
Ever dread having to hold a difficult conversation? I recommend this book for as "basic training" for anyone who has faced the prospect of speaking with bosses, co-workers, employees about negative workplace behaviors, skill deficits, attitude issues, interpersonal conflicts, or blind spots.

It's not a helpful story - in fact, it is dangerous
I have listened to the audiotape version of this book.
Just ok, nothing too inspiring
I think that I expected more.It has a few good points, but not too much that I haven't read before.May be a good starter book or good group read.I think that the Traveler's Gift by Andy Andrews is much better.

Highly Recommended
I think if you want to be rich this book is a must have!Growing up in a poor family and being asian it was definitely hard and difficult to be rich, but I made it big being 27! with very similiar idea to what this book has to offer.For many its easy to be rich and stay rich, so this book will help you become rich with nothing just like how I have started out with.I recommend this book to people who really want to be rich and are honest to them selves because being rich or being a multi-millionaire or a billionaire is like a club or similiar to wining the olympics, "it takes alot of dedication and dreams, but dreams do come true" the rest will be history.Trust me when you are able to reach out and make your dreams a reality there is no feeling better, especially riding on a Bentley or a 911 you could enjoy what celebrity enjoy without anyone bothering you

This book is very helpfull and adress a sense of time management and action that we need to accomplish in order to do successfull things in business and in life

Worth the time
A sophisticated and brief set of fifty-two disciplinary observations and requirements for better control and less confusion.A good book - but not as thorough and enlightening as I had hoped for -but then, I hoped for a lot.

Not as good as his other book
I was disappointed with this book because it isn't significantly different from the author's book, Getting Things Done. ... Read more
