Customer Reviews

An oversimplified view of life

Too many bible references. Not applicable to everyone. Oversimplified view of life. Something a sleazy salesperson would read.

A go-getter's literary staple

I re-read Rhinoceros Success on a regular basis to keep me fired up and motivated to wake up and just be awesome! This book is funny, motivating and light. You won't want to put it down and your fire to be a charging Rhinocerous will never fade.

Rhinoceros Success

I first heard about this book 19 years ago and thought it was stupid and wacky at first. Then the man who told be about it, a jewish guy name Albert that he had a net worth in the 7 figure columns and was recommending Rhinoceros Success to all of his sales people. I told him that I had read Think & Grow Rich and didn't think any book could top that one. He just told me that this book was different, gave me a copy, told me to read it that night and let me know the next day what I thought. Rhinceros Success was different. It was no Think & Grow Rich but it did have a very powerful message and one that I needed to hear at that time. This book is told in storybook form and tells us that in this world we have the cows and the rhinos. The cows graze in the pasture with the other cows, unwilling to take a chance at success, thinking that success only comes to those who are lucky, or that they just aren't cut out to be successful. Many live out their lives in fear; they are the lives of quiet desperation that Emerson talked about. Then there are the Rhinos. These guys, unlike the cows, take charge. Focused and unafraid, thick skinned and unstoppable, they take massive action toward accomplishing their dreams and goals. They understand that success is there for the taking., if only one brings to bear the right training, mindset and work ethic. Rhinoceros Success is motivational, educational and funny. It doesn't appear on the surface as a book that can teach you the fundamentals of success, but it does and it can. When I went back the next day to see Albert, I told him that I really enjoyed the book (in reality I was fired up like never before) and I wanted to buy a copy from him. I recommend this book to everyone. I understand that Rhinoceros Success has sold more than 2.5 million copies in 20 years. I can see why.

Rhinoceros Success---one of the greatest books ever

This book is a must buy for anyone who is 1) feeling down about their life, 2) needs to find a way of getting self-motivated even when times are tough, and 3) everyone else who just wants to realize what there is to be happy about in life when you go after what you want or need. Scott Alexander wrote this book in 1980 and it is STILL a must read. i purchased 10 copies for my whole sales team and made it required reading; they told me that it will make a difference in their lives & thanked me for introducing them to it....THIS BOOK IS AWESOME, TRUST ME.....

El Rinoceronte

This is one of the most amazing motivational books i have ever read. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! Most people with finish this book in 1 or 2 sittings because it is extremely interesting.

Refreshingly Simple

This book, and the entire series of Rhino Success books, are delightful. Scott's methods for success simplify the countless other success theories into the basic reality of action. With a spiritual side, he is direct and honest about what it will take to succeed and that it just isn't for everyone. An excellent approach!

An incredible book correlating self to the business world.

I was given this book by a friend. The book captured my goal oriented mind. This book helped me to focus on a business/personal venture. The book, I believed changed my life. I would recommend this book to anyone. If you are searching for how's, why's and can I's, this book will lead you in your right direction.
