Customer Reviews

The most focused success book I have ever encountered.

My review title says it all. Here is a step by step guide to success in every aspect of life. Every time I open the book I see it in a different way. There's always a guidepost I can use.

The game plan for success

Many people have the ambition to succeed but lack a game plan to achieve that success. The author creatively guides and helps you formulate that game plan that we are all too inexperienced or fearful to do on our own. I believe he is able to do this extremely well because of his knowledge and `feel' for the intricacies of our human nature. He understands our fears and senses our potential. Through `Building Yourself' the author deftly leads us step by step towards realizing our ambition.

This is a transformational book

Building Yourself seems at first glance to be a practical guide to life. But this author is so sure you can succeed that I feel now I have been "infected" by his confidence. I love this book. I am ordering copies for my two teenage nephews and for the local library.

A powerful, unusual book

I have already read this book twice, and I keep finding things about it (and myself) that are new. This one of the most valuable books I have ever read.

An unusually effective 100 step program to succeed in life.

I purchased Building Yourself because it seemed a little different in the world of self-help books, and I was presently surprised. There isn't an ounce of fill or fat in this book. It's obvious that the author, Elliot Essman, likes to see people succeed. This is a practical book, without all the usual "rah rah." The book has ten major sections on life areas such as "Skills" and "Strength" (they all begin with the letter "S"), each divided into ten bite-sized parts, with an inspirational quote for each of the 100 sections. You can pick this book up and start reading anywhere and get immediate value
