Customer Reviews

Very well laid out

I must say that I really enjoyed this books presentation and evolution of the concept that it presented. I really have to say I had low expectations of this book. I really didn't believe in a lot of the claims of this book till I hit the first couple of exercises. You will really get to know yourself a whole lot better by the end of this book and I think that's the major jist of where this book was trying to take you. I would definitely refer it to a friend.

Great for anyone

I got this book because even though I am quite confident in the work place I tend towards lacking it at times in my personal life. The book is simple to follow, doesn't spend lots of time having you "analyze" your past but focuses on where you want to be and where you are. It has simple exercises to nudge you towards your goal of having greater confidence in whatever area of your life you find it lacking. I highly recommend.

Ursiny makes you question everything your mind thinks of you.

This book is Brilliant! I came by it by accident at my local library looking for more self-confidence in business. This book is divided into a 6 week study and it takes about 15 minutes per day to read. All the chapters are short and sweet. Sometime during that day, you get that light bulb moment, Oh Yeah - this is what he was talking about, this is how I have been sabotaging myself. I can't believe I do that. Wow, I'm not going to do that anymore. It's like an owner's manual for the human brain. The book helps you troubleshoot what the problem is or in my case problems are and then gives simple "reset button" solutions. Nothing rather hard or difficult. It is challenging to continue because I keep learning a little more about myself. I feel my confidence growing and that in itself scares me so I've put the book down and left it for days at a time. I was nervous to grow. He recommends doing this book with a buddy. A trusted tried and true friend that you believe in because it asks for that person to tell you your weaknesses. It is amazing what I learned about myself just from that one day's lesson. Through someone's eyes, I saw me, and I liked me. I was a good person. On the outside, I am a strong, independent, intelligent person. Now it's time for the inside to know that! I strongly encourage you to give this gift to yourself first. This book does you no good with dust on it. I know the book cover is tacky but don't let that mislead you. I wish you all the best. Lorraine

information you can use NOW

I agree with the other reviewer. This is solid information that you can use now. The chapters can be read in one short sitting, and I like this book, because he breaks real research down (instead of new age insights, or self-evident ideas like "believe in yourself"). The author has a PhD and it comes through in the sense that you get the feeling this is real research and not something someone just came up with.

Excellent - for the succesful who want the NEXT LEVEL

Excellent book-- I found this book pretty much on accident at a book store and have been pleasantly surprised-- it's concise, delivers chunks of valuable insight in short chapters. And, it provides practical methods to change mental perceptions. Have been reading a chapter a night so far and am looking to see what other books this author has written as the style and information are excellent. Also-- the premise of this book is unique in that the author understands/assumes that you have tasted success before (good grades, leadership roles etc) - you're not on skid row looking for a hand. So the author dives right into techniques designed to elevate you, who has leadership / success traits, to the NEXT LEVEL - what ever that level may be of your own choosing. Being a mid-level associate in a law firm looking to move my career ahead- I found this book to provide just the right amount of stimulating thought, and practical suggestions. Highly recommend!
