Customer Reviews Summary

This is one of the best self help books I’ve read. I see improvements from my laziness and unconscious bad habits, which were preventing me from being disciplined at work and in how I spend my personal time.Reasons I like this book:* The techniques taught are based on the 4 laws of behavior change and each chapter goes through how to apply the methods of these laws.* Methods are backed by studies and science.* Easy to read (I read it eagerly in less than 2 weeks).* Summary bullet points at the end of each chapter. This makes it easy to revisit the important points.* At the beginning of each chapter, the author gives a quote and example of what a successful and/or famous person did that is relevant to the topic of the chapter.* There is an inspiring intro chapter about the author life and how he overcame obstacles and quickly became successful, surpassing his peers, by applying consistent good habits.* Focuses not on willpower but on human psychology and behavior to create good habits that can be lasting. These are methods that anyone can apply.* Provides very easy practical steps and solutions to building good habits.I highly recommend doing the exercises that you can find for free on the author’s site, which is mentioned in some of the chapters. It really reinforces what you’re learning and gets you to take action.I read this book twice. The first time, I read it without taking notes or doing exercises. I was just digesting the information and realizing where I was doing things wrong. The second time I read the book a few weeks later because I realized I forgot most of what I had learned and wasn’t really applying good habits. However the second time, I read it more quickly glossing over the chapters and focusing on the summary bullet points at the end of each chapter. I also did the written exercises from his site which you can print out. This step really helped me take action and ingrain what I learned.Others books I read after were Brian Tracy’s “Eat that Frog” and No Excuses!” on self discipline. Coupled with this book, I feel like I’m on my way to reaching more of my full potential and becoming the person I want to be. Good habits + discipline = success and happiness.
