review 1: This self-help book had quite a few interesting tips and thought processes that I will - and have already - taken away from it.It made me realise that having no goal or routine would lead you nowhere fast and that by scheduling time to think, breathe deeply and focus on strengthening your strong points (leaving the weak ones behind) you will strive for success.Asking yourself what positive impacts occurred that day is another way to reflect differently on your day, helping remove any negativity.I did find the first half of the book a little more active, practical and lingering, but I would recommend this read to those looking to get a head, those confused by their current pathway and those looking for condensed inspiration.
review 2: Why People Fail had incredi... morebly little about the actual contributing factors in failure. Instead it was full of overly confident statements from the author assuring/promising/guaranteeing that "just" a few minutes here and there would completely change/transform/re-vitalize your life. That may be, but several dozen "10 minute a day" exercises later, you'd be spending half your day doing such exercises and not much more. With no cited studies or case examples, it seemed a collection of articles I could have found in a Reader's Digest magazine in a dentist's office or the public's answers on a Yahoo forum. Best example: low productivity leads to failure. Best way to combat it? Drink green vegetable drinks and get enough sleep. Thanks for pointing out the obvious and wasting my money. less
