review 1: Excellent read to bring your dream into focus. Highly motivating. The only thing I was frustrated with was that Maxwell tends to be compartmentalized in his thinkIng that people should stick with their "gifting." Talent is Overrated by Geoffrey Colvin disproved that incredibly. A...

review 1: I listened to it on CD. The first disk was unbelievably boring. It probably works out fine in print form. After that it was interesting. It had a lot of good points, some seemed fairly obvious, but I wish they had been obvious to some prior bosses. It is very good at identifying ...

review 1: For a book about winning even while you are learning, there were a number of statements that John C. Maxwell used that I don't agree with. Why? Because they are statements of lack, the negative perspective and encouraging people that they don't have complete control of their lif...

review 1: A good book for quick self-reflection. I could have read it in a day (or an hour!), but I tried instead to read a chapter a day so that I could mull it over.It's a very straightforward, simple self-help style book. I'm usually not a fan of self-help as a genre, but this was easy ...
