Though there was nothing groundbreaking, but I enjoyed author’s style of articulation. It felt that the author was helping me visualize various sorts of thinkings and what do they lead to. I enjoyed the book and would come back to it several times in future to check my motivation:)

Meh... Figure out your goals, focus on how to get there, implement the habits that allow you to achieve them, Change one habit at a time, copy habits of people who have achieved the goals you want, wishing is not working, successful people work 60 hours/week 6 days a week (nope not for me) Invest early - compound interest is the greatest power. Prioritize. Ditch what isn't working. Get rid of the negative influences. Same thing we've all read before, strangely we don't all act on it. I would how...

Short but amazing. It's business/success oriented but is still perfect for general life improvements. In this book is perhaps the best argument for promoting absolute forgiveness that I've ever heard outside of a faith and/or spiritual-based persuasion (this is just one of several amazing improvement techniques though it stuck out)I read this via audible and came into its possession as it was on sale. The only nit to pick is the reader, who sounds like a polished robot more than a human. His spe...

Nothing groundbreaking or even original here, I suggest you keep your hard earned money and skip this one.

Don’t let the size of this book fool you. It may be short, but it’s packed full of helpful information. It’s short because there’s no fluff, at least, not in my opinion. I took many pages of notes from this book because there were things that I didn’t want to forget.Some of the advice in this book I’ve heard hundreds of times or more, but it’s worth hearing again. Most of us are very familiar with goal-setting methods. Brian Tracy gives you step-by-step instructions — writing down goals, priorit...

While I had hoped to discover new information that would help me as I am re-designing my life, this book offered only superficial information found in countless blog posts, articles and books. Think before you act - know yourself - decide what your future is going to be like and then take the first steps in the present to get there. I put the book down after two chapters.

Regurgitated self help pearls taken from other thinkers/authors with few insights of the author himself.

Beginning the year with self-help category. Motivating reading, though same wine in new bottle such as learning from failure, benefit of long term thinking, writing your goal with plans etc. However, good summary provided from Thinking Fast and Slow book. Self help books are like tequila, gives you instant boost and then again back to same square.

Definitely one of the best books I’ve ever read.Instead of repeating the same idea over and over again this book gives practical advice on living a better life in every possible aspect.It’s a book I’d recommend to anyone who wants to live a more meaningful life.

I received this book from Goodreads Giveaways in exchange for an honest review. I finished Get Smart in an afternoon, but came out with a clearer understanding of myself and the psychology of my habits and motivation. Some of the advice felt like a take on Freakonomics , especially the psychology behind wealth status and motivation. It felt like Marie Kondo was organizing and de-cluttering my brain. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the psychology behind suc...

“You have the mental ability right now to set any goal and achieve everything you could ever want or hope for in this life”Don’t think about what you might do, just do what Brian Tracy says. Get Smart - How to Think and Act Like the Most Successful and Highest Paid People in Every Field is a useful yet confounding book. It explores an array of thinking models, habits and actions taken by the ‘most successful’ people but nowhere does it support its claim of teaching you how to think. What it does...

3.5I am an unashamed fan of self-help books. Well, sorta, I sometimes feel ashamed. This book is almost a perfect self-help book which means it has no new information and is not literature but it is short and helpful. I am not a fan of Napolean Hill-type books and this does deteriorate into that at times but even so, I felt like there were enough reminders for things I do care about to justify ignoring the 'grow rich' stuff. Habits. You really can't read too many books about habits.

I read this book thanks to Blinkist.The key message in this book:There are good and bad ways to use your brain. You can have a distracted and unfocused mind that only wants to learn about things that reinforce your negative preconceptions, or you can have a sharp and creative mind. The latter sees the positive things in life and finds success by being inquisitive, adaptable and innovative.Actionable advice:See the chance in every challenge.Take a moment to think about your biggest problem. Now,

Get Smart isn't just theoretical intelligence - it's about thinking better and applying those improved thoughts to have a better life in general. There is a lot of focus on harnessing that better brain power to do better in business because after all, financial success by honest means is often a good indicator of whether you're accomplishing your goals. Comparatively small book but chock full of great tips. I made lots of notes while reading. I read the entire book in an afternoon so I'll be rev...

Congratulations, you've just wasted 4 hours of your time. Seriously, if this book really helped someone at some point, how had they lived before with all the complex everyday tasks like getting up in the morning, reading "whole" books, etc? Also, every second line in this book gets an accompanying citation of some famous person, because then it sounds more assuring, of course. As Abraham Lincoln once said, 'One can't just write a book without at least a hundred quotes', or something like that.Av...

(Audible) read by the authorAbout 15 years ago a friend introduced me to Brian Tracy and I became a fan. Clear talking, easy to follow, insightful, Tracy's messages struck a chord and helped me turn around my job, career and personal life. I've heard Brian Tracy speak twice in person and found that his presentations are like his books--clear, easy to follow, insightful. And yes . . . lots of lists.It's been a while since I've touched based with Brian Tracy and recently picked up Get Smart!: How

Again, Brian Tracy makes it look easy to achieve success albeit you follow the laid principles of goal setting and time management. Being ambitious, having growth mindset, setting time bound objectives helps you to concentrate and focus your mind to achieve goals.Strongly recommended for students and modern entrepreneurs who are struggling to make a dent in their professional and personal life#

Nothing new, but straight to the point. A good refresh of the typical advice. Great short read with a nice structure.

The combination of long-term thinking and immediate actions will make future goals possible.When it comes to planning in life, there are two perspectives you can take: You can adopt short-term thinking and concentrate on maximizing pleasure in the here and now, or you can think and plan long-term. Long-term thinking centers on being a step ahead and considering the consequences of your actions – and then the consequences of those consequences, and so on.So which is better? Well, an overwhelming

There was one good section on problem solving with the 7 Rs and then the rest was less useful.
