Book Description

August 9, 2010

Based on more than 20 years of experience and 40 years of research, this book presents a completely updated and practical, proven strategy for creating and meeting goals that has been used by more than 1 million people already in its first edition.

Author Brian Tracy again explores the seven key elements of goal setting and the 12 steps necessary to set and accomplish goals of any size. Using his trademark simple language and real-life examples, Tracy shows how to do the crucial work of determining one's strengths, values, and true goals. He explains further how to build the self-esteem and confidence necessary for achievement; how to overpower every problem or obstacle; how to overcome difficulties; how to respond to challenges; and how to continue moving forward no matter what happens. The book's revised and updated "Mental Fitness" program of character development shows readers how to become the kind of person on the inside who can achieve any goal on the outside.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheerful coaching for the road to success June 26, 2003
Format:Hardcover
Tracy's colorful quips and cheerleading helps people think in big, exciting terms. In the first three chapters, he quotes or cites himself, sales trainer Tom Hopkins, Mark McCormack, Victor Frankl (founder of logotherapy), Aristotle, Stanford University, billionaire H. L. Hunt, motivational speaker Zig Ziglar, Alexander Graham Bell, Eleanor Roosevelt, Buddy Hackett, Gary Zukav, James Allen, Edward Banfield, peak performer Charles Garfield, and Peter Drucker - an eclectic mix of anecdotes and attributions. But there is not much substance or structure. There are plenty of clichés like, "How do you eat an elephant?" Answer: "One bite at a time."

He is brief if a bit too cheerful. For example, in Chapter Six, "Decide your major definite purpose," his short paragraphs include headings like "Activate your Reticular Cortex," "Red Sports Car," "Achieve Financial Independence," "Keep Your Feet on the Ground," "Don't Sabotage Yourself," and "Be Willing to Pay the Price."

He recommends writing goals in the present tense but including a deadline, creating awkward conceptualizations of this sort: "I earn an average of $5,000 a month by December 31." You need to be persistent but flexible, full of dreams but also practical. Dependability is your most important trait but there are many others cited as important, key or critical: your ability to set goals and make plans, a sense of control, the practice of single handling, dedication, vision, visualization, e.g., "ability to visualize is perhaps the most important faculty that you possess."

His conclusions are twenty-one steps, which follow directly from his chapter titles, beginning with "Unlock your potential," "Take charge of your life," "Create your own future," and ending with "Unlock your inborn creativity," "Do something every day," and "Persist until you succeed." Perhaps you just need to read the conculsions.

The book is more about the subtitle "How to get everything you want - faster than you ever thought possible," than it is about goals, goal setting, or developing an enduring goal-setting strategy. There is plenty of stimulation for the unread and moving stories about the author's own path to success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book by Tracy June 16, 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I think most people underestimate the value of goals. Most people know about goals, but how many people actually have written goals?

In this book, Brian Tracy offers a powerful program on how to set and reach your goals and in record time.
