 New Age Blather
I was disappointed, and bought the book on recommendation from Dr. Mercola who said it had been a great help to his career. I bought the book for my daughter who recently graduated from college as a licensed massage therapist and is starting out in her career. Aside from the section that discusses the importance of setting specific goals and focusing on them, this book is mostly a mishmash of New Age philosophies that if you believe something will happen, it will happen, per Oprah's The Secret.
Guess what. You can believe you will fly, but if you go up in a skyscraper and jump out the window, you are going to crash and die. The world is full of people with delusions of grandeur and no substance, and books like this are contributing to this.
This book is just a rehash of the same kind of Oprah religion, also witchcraft, the law of this, the law of that from the Land of Make Believe. These "laws" (per The Secret, also Pat Robertson promotes these "laws") may work in Wunderland, but in the real world they do not work. Sure, it is good to be confident and believe in what you are doing and have hope for success, but you don't need to hype yourself and adopt a kind of insanity, a New Age religion, (that says your thoughts cause things to form and happen) to accomplish self-confidence. If wishes were horses, beggars would ride. Knowing what you are doing and working hard will give the same confidence.
I skimmed through the book and threw it in the trash.
 MUST HAVE guidance To Long Term Success
Brian Tracy is an amazing writer. I have read the Secret but Brian Tracy's book takes The Secret to a whole new level. His step by step process allows you to implement the reading into your daily lives. As you take action you feel the momentum building allowing you to stay the course. This is a book I would suggest reading very slowly and more than once. I reread the chapters and stop to do the activities. I absolutely feel inspired and encouraged with every chapter.

This book should be incorporated into formal education system. If everyone would have read this book then we will all live in a harmonic society. It's a must-have book no matter you're seeking advices on how to succeed at work, business, how to set a goal and achieve it, how to win friends, or how to build a better relationship with your family and your other half.
The book title should be "How To Be Successful In Life"
The writing style and layouts are very easy to read and understand. Every book should be written in this way.
There's no big words in this book so if you have children, I would recommend you to give them the books to read after you're done reading it. They will love you and respect you more for teaching them the lessons of a successful life.
I really like the later chapters when Brian got into how to master human relationships. He said "Love is the most important thing in life." Can it be more truthful?
Only 10% of the key points in the book:
- You can't give what you don't have. You need to like and respect yourself more before you can love and respect others.
- Never criticize
- You are where you are because of your past decisions
- You are responsible for everything that happened in your life, so stop blaming.
- Peace of mind is essential to success in everything. It's also the highest human good.
- One of your major responsibilities is to get your life under your control.
- What you sow is what you reap
- Whatever that you expect with confidence becomes your own self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world
- Law of substitution: Your conscious mind can only hold one thought at a time, replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts throughout the day.
- Some affirmation tips on achieving your goals.
- 12 step system for goal setting and goal achieving
A Must Read!!!!
An incredible book that really explores the potential of the human mind. Tracy discusses the science behind the human psyche. He gives the reader ways to tap the positive potential all people possess. This is possible by setting goals, thinking positive thoughts, and opening your heart and mind through positive affirmation. The key is to focus on doing these exercises so it will eventually become second nature. It is easy to read but should be read over and over again because there is so much to learn. I just finished it for the first time but will read it again so I can really begin to apply the principles. Do yourself a favor and get this book today.
Maximum Achievement
Maximum Achievement, in my opinion, is Brian Tracy's finest work. It is the book that turned my thinking--and, therefore, my life--around. I reread it periodically.
