• Excellent Book, For Adults And Kids 31 August, 2008
This is a great book, and one of the handful of 'fundamentals' books that should be read by people of all ages, regardless of profession. The earlier in life this book can be read (or listened to) the better, as it is critical to the building blocks of positioning life for success. It is easy to follow, understand, and has excellent tools/techniques that can be applied immediately. Probably a book that should be reviewed again every couple years. Along the lines of the 7 Habits of highly effective people by Covey, this book is another key read for strategy of life.

• Learn How To Think Positively And Treat People Respectfully To Create Business And Personal Success! 25 August, 2008
I listened to this on unabridged audio, and I loved it! The narrator's voice is charged up with enthusiasm and is very engaging, and the tips and tricks are basic but very powerful. If you are just beginning a new venture and suspect that your mind may not be in the right place - read this book.
I loved the simple exercises and tricks for engaging your passion and excitement about what you do. One trick I tried that I really liked was that I defined what service I was really providing to people. I am a landscaper, so instead of saying "I trim people's gardens and keep them neat", I said "I help people take joy and pleasure in their home and outdoor spaces, and make it easy for them to connect with nature and our awesome outdoor world. I also help them achieve all that they can in their own lives by providing a relaxing and beautiful space for them to unwind and think clearly in."
Do you see how the second one makes me feel charged up every day to go to work? And what an impact that has on my employees, to know that they are in the business of helping people connect with the environment and achieve all they can in their lives, through the enjoyment of their outdoor spaces?
These kinds of small tips help you wrap your mind around making your job your life's work, and help you take things to the next level. I think people hire me over my competitors because I love what I do and it shows in my voice and actions, and this book really helps me keep that passion alive even on the rainy days or when I get bit by wasps.
There were a lot of great small tips like that about how to have the right attitude to enable success. I'd really recommend it to anyone stuck in the doldrums of their work or just beginning a new venture.

• Watch Out! 14 August, 2008
This is the first review I have written, but I felt that I should warn the public. This audiobook is awful. I have over 40 self-training audiobooks from all the top names and this one is last on the list. This is the only audiobook I have ever stopped listening to.
It's not that the content is useless, but the presentation is like reading a to-do list of things to mention without going into any interesting detail about any one of them. He will say things like "try to see things from the other person's point of view" "work to smile when uncomfortable" "concentrate on how you could do it better" Sure that is good advice, but the 3/4 I stomached was like listening to a series of fortune cookie lines.
I'd suggest work from Tony Robbins, Earl Nightengale, David Bach, Robert Allen and Zig Ziglar if you want to get your money's worth.
