Customer Reviews

You will want to read the entire book!

Very insightful toward the elements of the mind that allow one to continue on their familiar path, over and over again, like the eveready bunny! The path that gets you where you have always been. This book does a fine job in communicating breakthrough technology that can allow real change in our abilty to set goals and not repeat the familiar. By understanding past events one can see where there habits and decisions have come from and then, hopefully move on to a higher level. Great book for sales people and people looking for a way to access their next challenge!

This self-help book delivers!

Started listening to the audio version of THE INTERNAL FRONTIER each morning on my way into work. Boy, did it make a difference in my day! It really made me take a look at myself and it helped me to see that some of the stuff I do really gets in my own way. At the same time, though, the author gives hope and help to make a change so I don't have to keep doing the "same-old-same-old". 1999 is going to be a better year, thanks to this book!

Eye opening, incisive, and substantial

For those who are truly motivated to pursue their dreams, whether personal or professional, this book is essential. Shechtman's premise is that we all have underlying emotional patterns - our "familiar," as he refers to it - that keep us stuck. To get un-stuck, he offers a six-step process for creating new "familiars" which are in line with our goals. He also stresses the importance of creating accountability groups to help us follow through with our actions steps. I have taken a number of positive - and uncomfortable - action steps as a direct result of the book. Very well written. Full of "beef."

Impactful-this book is capable of changing your life!!!!!

Morrie Shechtman is a futurist who focuses on how information and change impact individual performance. Peak performance, personally, professionally, and financially, is achieved by understanding who you are, and why you are the way you are. Shechtman examines how self-information and an internal focus removes the barriers to tremendous personal achievment. Shechtman's material is hard-hitting ,and forces the reader to examine his or her own "internal frontier." Shechtman's first book,Working without a Net,discussed living and working in a high risk culture and economy. The Internal Frontier looks at what you know (your "familiar") and examines how your decision making is affected by your natural inclination to gravitate to the your familiar. The book is filled with useful information with which to make substantial changes in how you see yourself and make your decisions. The book uses numerous real life examples to illustrate how people have achieved great success by understanding their "familiar" and breaking the patterns which have kept them from achieving their full potential.
