I have a library of over 100 self helpbooks plus tapes and have attended allthe seminars. Clearly, Brian Tracy is the best. If you only have the time to read one book, this should be that one book. The techniques work and work fast. You will learn how to enhance all areas of your life. Most other books repeat the same things, not Brian. I also highly recommend the audio tape program, Pyschology of Achievement and the Pyschology of Selling by Brian and SuperSelf by Charles Givens, probably one of the most under rated books out there on personal development.

Brian Tracy has been one of my success mentors for years. His wisdom is clear and eloquent - but more than that it is right on! Even before you finish reading Maximum Achievement for the first time, you will be a changed person - it's that incredible. I say first time because you will want to read it again and again.

Brian Tracy covers all of the proactive bases: smart thinking, system thinking, futuristic thinking, and positive thinking. If you are truly seeking the kind of success and abundance that makes your life 100% livable - you must read this book. Many of his ideas are found in SUCCESS BOUND, another book built on learning how to be responsible and live proactively.

Everything that I have put into practice that he has recommended has worked. The laws of success in this book will bring you success. Read it and you will believe that you can do anything that you set your mind to. My copy is well worn with highliter and pen marks all through it from the numerous times that I've returned to it in order to study it again.

You will find that this exciting book becomes a part of you. Don't hold back - let it happen. In fact, you should spend 10 to 15 minutes every morning focusing your thoughts on the truths of this book, thereby allowing them to seep deep into your subconscious mind. If you do this I guarantee this wisdom will most assuredly bring you the success and abundance you deserve.

Enjoy the book and your new proactive life!

I own the hardback and a paperback which which I take with me everywhere I go. I also own the tape album set called "The Psychology of Achievement-THE PHOENIX SEMINAR". No fluff here--just more and more power ful techniques to reach maxmum success. You'll learn how to tap into your personal power,get along better with people, be a better parent, spouse, advance your career and more. This program coupled with Advanced Selling Techniques and "The Pyschology of Selling" jump started my sales career movig me from the bottom 90% to the top 5%! I highly recomend any program or product by Brian Tracy!

This is a remarkable work by Brian Tracy who is indeed a remarkable man. As Tracy tells us, he was quite a problem in his younger years, dropped out of high school and with no education was relegated to low paying deadend jobs.

But then something changed in Tracy. He went into straight commission selling seeing an opportunity to write his own paycheck and met some very successful salesmen. He learned how to sell and sell well, but more importantly, he learned the miracle of personal development. He went to work on himself and the rest as they say is history.

In MAXIMUM ACHIEVEMENT, Brian Tracy will show you everything you need to make rapid advances in your life. Personally, socially, with your career, in relationships and more.

I remember when Amazon used to give ten stars. If they were still doing that MAXIMUM ACHIEVEMENT would be a true 10 star book. And there are not many books that I would say that about.

MAXIMUM ACHIEVEMENT is Brian Tracy's best work.

This great book by Brian Tracy helped jumpstart my sales and personal life. Maximum Achievement is OUTSTANDING. Great work by Tracy. In particular, I really benefitted from the mental power in 21 days (page 95)

This book is based on Brian Tracy's flagship program The Phoenix Seminar and his audio tape program The Psychology of Achievement.

You can't go wrong by following Tracy's advice. In my opinion, he is the absolue best personal development trainer int he business.

I bought this book about 10 years ago and have been a fan of Brian Tracy ever since. This guy knows how to bring out the best in people. Although Brian Tracy has written many books, this was his first and in my opinion, his best.

Great book that will change your life.

I actually bought this book partially based on the online reviews, partially because it was recommended on the RichDad.com discussion forum. I couldn't put it down. I took notes while I read it, doing the practice exercises. I've read a bunch of books on self-improvement, and this one is the best so far. You won't need another self-imrovement book (at least until you read this one about five times). It is written in a friendly and concise language.
It is truly an inspiring and uplifting book. After reading even a few pages, you can't help but ponder over it and imagine yourself in a world you'd ultimately want to be in, the goals you'd want to have achieved, and the plan to do it all. You'll think, "This works for me. He (Brian Tracy) is right" And you'll go on and you'll do everything you've been wanting to do for a long time. And you'll succeed. I guarantee it.
I will recommend this book to everyone I know. It's worth your money. Read it. You won't regret.

When i found this book I was living hand to mouth with no "instruction manual" on how to get out of my desperate situation.

I was 26 yrs old,owned a 15 year old Ford T-Bird that leaked oil and with the interior cloth roof hanging down on me. I was selling cd's to buy groceries until my next paycheck, etc

After reading this book my life changed dramatically...Within 5 months i decided to pursue my piece of the pie by changing my thinking and taking resposibility for my actions.

I grew up poor in the projects in chester, Pa, i still remeber the racial wars between the whites and blacks.....people shooting one another from my rooftop in the ghetto row housing me and my 3 siblings lived with no father . I was pre-programmed into thinking that i was not going to turn out to be a success.

Well......after reading MAX-ACHiement...In 1995, within 1 year i owned my own Financial PR Company...my highest earnings year has been $400,000..... in 1999 i took my own company public (different company)and sold it to another company (I own stock that is worth 4 mill). I am currently working back in Financial PR and made $120,000 last year. Already in the month of Jan. 2006 i have made $25,000.

Sounds like a paid endorsment, doesn't it. Well my freinds...it's not. I have read this book at least 10 times and it has made a profound impact on my life. You may ask "This book did all of this for him"?

Answer: It forced me to take FULL responsibility for my position in life. You are where you are because of your prior actions you decided to take in the past. If you want change, "YOU" must change. It is your life and nobody will come knocking on your door to hand over what life has to offer. Go out and get your share. Believe me...if you can read this book and really consume his ideas and put them into action, you will be amazed with the outcome.

I remember the first time that I came across Brian Tracy's material when I was 18 years old. I must admit that I have been very fortunate that I have.

When I was growing up as a teenager, coming from a disadvantaged background, I thought that people that were better off than me were just lucky. I thought that luck was something that happened to people and that there was nothing that anyone could do about it. In other words, I thought that people that were happy, people that were successful, and people that lead happy and fulfilling lives were just lucky. I thought that people's lives were destined. But as I grew older I witnessed people that used to be known as "losers" starting to succeed, and "winners" starting to fail. By my late teens the whole concept of luck and destiny did not quite make sense to me. I refused to accept that my whole life was a product of chance, luck, and destiny. I started to look for answers, answers that no one in my environment could give me.

Then, one day while looking for my answers, I ran across one of Brian Tracy's articles about success on the net. I was amazed by Brian's knowledge, professionalism, and writing style. The next day I went to the library to find some of his books. The only book that I could find was his "The Luck Factor" Audio Book, which came in handy since I hated to read.

Then I decided to purchase Maximum Achievement. This was the first book that I have read from cover to cover and my life has never been the same ever since. The principles in this book are nothing new or innovational, they are merely simple and while reading you will often catch yourself saying over and over again: "That is so true! I should have known about this! Why didn't I think of this a long time ago?" But don't let that discourage you from getting this book.

Brian Tracy is the best self help professional in the world and I would not recommend anybody else but him. There are many "self help" gurus and books out there, but as you read their material you will start to notice inconsistencies and contradictions in their work. As with Brian Tracy, I have not found any contradiction, inconsistency, or lies in his work. And I am very sensitive when it comes to people trying to teach me some "cool stuff". I check every reference, every background, and every quote that I can. Brian Tracy's integrity has never disappointed me. I would have given this book 10 stars if I could because it's still one of the best books that I have ever read!

I have read many books after this one, but only a few were worth every penny and every second that I have invested in reading as this one!

Some years ago, when I was at my lowest point in life, I borrowed a friend's car who had the cassettes for Maximum Achievement in her tape deck. I listened to the tapes, spellbound. From that time on, I have take responsibility for my life.

The first copy of Maximum Achievement that I bought is now tied together with a string because the worn pages have become unglued. The words that this tattered, treasured book expresses are too precious to throw out. My second copy lies on my bed. It goes with me whenever I expect to stand in line or sit in a waiting room. I often refresh my memory with its wise words. This book makes me feel empowered.

When I feel like I am faltering on my path, this book whispers secrets to me that rejuvenate my health, restore my confidence, and breathe new life into my plans. By applying the principles in this book, I have become debt-free, overcome ill health, and found my life's vocation. I can hardly wait to see what this book will inspire me to do as I read it again!
