Not at all what I expected. Actully, I should return it. It does not address methods, it only lists sentences. Buy something else

This a great book to pick and flip through when you're feeling down or need a quick injection of motivation in your day. I could also see using if you are a team leader or coach, to come up with motivational sayings to get the people under you fired up. It's packed with lots of ideas I'd never thought of and also many that I already knew but had forgotten. Well worth the money if you are in a field that requires you to be "up" on demand.

This book is a great source of quick pick me ups, inspirational thoughts and insightful advice. I keep it on my desk to turn to whenever I need a quick boost.

There may be some people who might criticize this book because of its approach to this topic. However, I love the way this book is organized. This is the kind of text one can use in a class room type of setting. Each of the points made can be discussed at length to get the most out of the material. There are fifteen chapters covering a wide range of material.

The first chapter deals with the roots of motivation. The remaining chapters cover such areas as 160 ways to motivate yourself, 60 ways to motivate your boss, 111 ways to motivate your employees, 75 ways to motivate your team, 54 ways to motivate your students, 56 ways to motivate your peers, 95 ways to motivate success, and numerous other motivation chapters.

In conclusion, if you desire to motivate yourself or have the job of motivating others, this is a must book to have as a reference source.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Monadnock Defensive Tactics System,MDTS).

Benjamin Franklin had nothing on Sang H. Kim. Although Kim'slatest treasure is similar to Franklin's classic collection of maxims,"Poor Richard's Almanac", his suggestions are more applicable and poignant than 200-year-old recommendations for better living.

Kim's book is geared toward businessmen of today, but anyone can benefit from his sage advice. Kim divides the book into 15 chapters each directed towrd subjects such as "How to Motivate your Boss" and tricks to motivate change or productivity. Truly 1001 Ways is worth 1001 dollars... it's money well spent - something that would make old Ben proud.

This book is a great source of quick motivation boosters - especially if you are in a field where you need to motivate a team or group on a daily basis. Lots of fresh ideas as well as things you already know but might need to be reminded of. Well worth the money!

Disguised beneath a boring cover is a fun handbook with motivational tips and sayings - in bullet-point format - for motivating yourself, your boss, employees, peers, students or customers, in situations of conflict resolution, creativity, decision making and leadership. Based on the book's message of courage and believing in yourself, it comes as no surprise that Kim is a taekwondo master and motivatinal speaker. This book shows that self-esteem, action, motivation and a "don't mess with me" atttitude can in fact be a part of the Asian American psyche.
