Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended!

Brian Tracy seems to have the answer for everything, including how to get that raise and promotion. Actually, his point is that you have the answer to everything, if only you can achieve clarity - knowing exactly what you want and how to get there - while disciplining yourself to work toward your objective. Can it really be that easy? Well one thing's for sure, reading this book will make it a lot easier. This volume offers 21 short chapters of clearly presented, easy to absorb (if not always strictly grammatical) material. We from getAbstract recommend it to anyone in any field who aspires to be promoted. After all, would you turn down more money? We didn't think so.

It's pretty good

Don't buy this book. Instead, buy a cup of coffee at the bookstore and take 20 minutes out to read it at the bookstore.The other reviewers who bad mouthed this book are right. It is all common sense. But most self help is common sense. However, sometimes it helps to be reminded of what we should be doing to get further along in our careers. I believe that if you followed his advice completely, you would get promoted and paid more, but you wouldn't make small talk at work, you wouldn't have social life outside of work, you wouldn't listen to music in your car (only audio-books), and you'd probably be a really boring and serious person.But if you take half of his advice (like reading for an hour each day about something in your field) you'd come out a better person. All for the price of a cup of coffee.But it's written well.

This Book is The Best!

I have studied much, if not most, of the success literature and I have to say that this book offers some of the best advice for getting ahead in your career. This easy-to-read, succinct book really hits the nail on the head and draws from the wisdom and experience of those in the know about career success. I just gave this book to my nephew who graduated from college last week and told him that it contains very valuable and accurate information. I am the producer of the PBS television program The Legacy of Achievement™ featuring the lives and lessons of great achievers (www.legacyofachievement.tv) and I also write and teach about success and achievement. I am going to make this one of my recommended books in the "Business and Career Success" resouces area of my web site at www.holman.com.
