Outstanding! For business and for fun

There are many business books and many self help books. Even the author had written many of the same kind himself. However, this one is truly outstanding and fascinating. The combination of war/battle histories with business/self development concepts bring life and glamour into the book. The ancedotes really help readers like me to better understand and bear in mind the twelve principles (in twelve chapters) the author elaborates. In short, a must buy for frequent business/self help book readers. I assure you that you can re-read it several times in the future with the same passionate interest. p.s. For your fast reference, I would like to copy and paste the title of the twelve chapters/principles here (as available in the content page).Ch 1 P of the Objective: Clarity is essentialCh 2 P of the Offensive: Dare to go forwardCh 3 P of the Mass: Concentrate your powersCh 4 P of Maneuver: Remain flexible at all timesCh 5 P of Intelligence: Get the factsCh 6 P of Concerted Action: Coordinate your activitiesCh 7 P of Unity of Command: One person in chargeCh 8 P of Simplicity: Take the direct approachCh 9 P of Security: Cover all your basesCh 10 P of Economy: Conserve your resourcesCh 11 P of Surprise: Do the unexpectedCh 12 P of Exploitation: Follow up and follow through

"Brian Tracy proves...Things can always get better!"

I try to read or listen to every new bit of information Mr. Tracy publishes. This book is destined to be a classic. More of a book on business, and life in general than military genius, but that's what I prefer. Again, much of the same material repeated, but that's how we absorb information. This is a wonderful book written by a wonderful man. Hats off to Brian Tracy! When ya gonna run for president?

Highly Recommended!

Although it's an overused metaphor, top business speakers and best-selling author Brian Tracy show how you can apply battle-proven methods to achieving victory in the world of business. While many of the principles sound familiar, Tracy's presentation is lively and well organized. He covers the importance of having objectives, getting the facts, coordinating your activities, daring to go forward, concentrating your forces, conserving your resources and having one person in charge. He uses battlefield illustrations to remind us of these principles. He also draws on ancient and modern historical accounts of battles to illustrate the close connection between victory in war and in business. If your approach to business hinges on careful strategy and targeted planning, we from getAbstract think you will find tactical weapons in this military manual that you can muster in the fields of commerce.

ANOTHER COMPILATION MASTERPIECE

Brian is the best compiler ever. As Aristotle said, "There is nothing new under the sun." You may not find any new idea or concept, but if you follow the strategies mentioned in the book, you will become simply unstoppable. It's an invaluable book that should be in the bookcase of everyone who takes the challenge of succeed in life seriously and wants to do something extraordinary with their lives. Another great compilation by Mr. Tracy.Luiz C. Carvalho
