This book is one of the finest books on the market on how to maximize your potential to the fullest. It is extremely motivating and has all the success principles that makes you look within yourself to make whatever you do for a living more rewarding. It is written in a very positive and upbeat manner and after reading it,you should come away with a more positive outlook on your future and career.

I purchased this book for $3.55 in 1988 and read it daily for about 1 month during a time when I was having trouble with work motivation. I have since increased my earnings ~6 fold, but more importantly I now try to always keep joy in my work. I still keep the tattered copy on my desk and open it occasionally for reinforcement or when I need some quick quotes. I recommend this book highly if you need a lift.

6 years ago I bought this book and up to now it never loses its flavor. It is filled with down to earth sage advice coming from an author who have been there in the assembly line factory. It focuses on the salaried workers and at the same for those aiming at the corporate ladder. Compared to other self-help books, I think this is one of the best I have bought. It is always on my bag everyday going to work to remind me when work becomes a joyless compulsion. Dennis Waitley & Reni Witt are among the few I regard as favorite self-help writers. They are warm and are able to emphatize on your work situation. You will sense it as you go through the book. They are really concerned to help you improve. I will share this to my child when he is ready.

I read this book a number of years ago and I keep coming back to it because of its terrific message.
The book is layed out on a day-to-day format with short chapters that helped me to overcome difficulties and strengthen what I need to work on. Perfect for reading first thing in the morning.
After the first time I read this book, many of my friends asked me what I had done with myself because I had changed so much. Very positive and very empowering.
Look for the 6-tape audio cassette program too. It's fantastic. Great for the car.
