Editorial Reviews

Review

"An amazing book - so comprehensive, relevant,quotable, practical, doable and inspirational."
-- Dr.Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

"This is an attractively presented book full of practical wisdom."
-- Edward de Bono, World Leader in Creative Thinking
"Finally, a business book that puts the power of the human mind center stage!!"
-- Dr. Kjell A. Nordstram, Co-author of Funky Business --


"A fascinating program. Definitely the most comprehensive compilation of personal change techniques that I have ever come across."

-- Phillip Mills, Creative Director, Les Mills International

"JOLT Challenge, the great new big little book. This is an inspiring book to improve your mental clarity and emotional and spiritual well being."
-- Dame Susan Devoy, World Squash Champion --Dr.Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

This is a book that motivates the reader to do something about becoming the person they want to be. Its logical structure leads the reader inexorably towards action (or at the least a great sense of guilt about inaction!). Its overviews of the neurological, physiological, nutritional and psychological underpinnings of personal progress are concise and relevant. Its tone is energetic, captivating and far from preaching. In the genre of self-help books it is one of a very small number where I am stimulated to congratulate the authors, rather than wish someone would take a contract out on them! --Professor David Clutterbuck, Author of Everyone Needs A Mentor and Making Coaching Work

Simple, entertaining and yet has the power to inspire and transform attitudes and behaviour. From the outset, readers are encouraged to apply ideas directly to their own lives and in doing so can grasp seemingly complex concepts. Different languages spoken appeal to different audiences allowing an individual to integrate learning and develop an enquiring mind with greater self-reflection. This sets the scene for them to become authors of their own lives with the potential to lead others effectively. --Clare Mann, Author of The Myths of Life

5.0 out of 5 stars Dense with information, January 6, 2010
This review is from: JOLT Challenge - The Self Intelligence Experience (Paperback)
This book is a fantastic read! It's dense with well-researched and evidence-based information, with plenty of inspiring Eastern philosophy thrown in for good measure. The book is extremely well organised - I particularly appreciated the mind maps for each section.

My impression was that the book was written initially as a companion to the Jolt Challenge Self Intelligence Experience. This self-intelligence journey is presented in a Week 1, Day 1 through to Week 9, Day 5 layout. If, like me, the experiential learning program is not yet available in your city, I would recommend reading the book one day at a time. I found this was the best way to simulate the experience and get the most out of the book.

The book has a mighty aim and I felt that, when given the effort and attention required, it delivers. This 5-star review has one condition, and that is for any potential reader to consider the Jolt Philosophy of "the learning is in the doing." The value of the book for me was not in reading it, but in taking action based on the information that it contains.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Different Kind of "Self-Help" Book, January 16, 2010
This review is from: JOLT Challenge - The Self Intelligence Experience (Paperback)
I tend to be suspicious of self-help books in general, but I'm glad to say that Jolt Challenge is quite different. Fist, it doesn't take itself so seriously. The authors even include a George Carlin quote, "If you're looking for self-help, why would you read a book written by someone else? That's not self-help, that's help."

The book presents a comprehensive approach to "self-help" that ranges from how the "emotional" brain works, why physical needs (water, nutrition, sleep) matter, the importance of clear intention, role models, and the list goes on.

I love how user-friendly this book is. Lots of solid content punctuated by great quotes (like the Carlin one above), cartoons and other graphics, sidebar things to think about.
