As with a good mystery, once started I couldn't put the book down. The message was potent and the approach unique. Many authors provide you with ho-hum ideas for self-improvement, but "The Opportunity In Every Problem" is a refreshing change from the norm. Being personally acquainted with this author, I know first hand of his sincere and pro-active desire to assist others in improving their business and personal lives. Scott's technique, as displayed in this book, is at once elevating and impacting. Applying this direction to everyday life is possible, and achievable. I have found the whole idea to be life-changing and encourage everyone to "give it a try". You'll be glad you found those obscure opportunities to succeed!

Mr. Taylor has done an excellent job in illustrating how the right approach to a problem can actually transform an obstacle to an opportunity for growth and success. Don't let the simplicity and straighforwardness of this book fool you! The concepts outlined here are vital to anyone who wants to develop and hone their skills to the next level in their business life or their personal life.

Mr. Taylor has hit the nail on the head! His book is a quick read and right to the point, which puts it miles ahead of other books in its class. Through metaphorical teaching, Scott plainly shows the recipe for success to all who will read it.

Great book!

Wow, Wow, Wow!!! What an awsome principle. When I first saw the title I was intrigued but didn't think it was real. Now, after reading The Opportunity In Every Problem, I find it hard to believe in problems anymore. There really are opportunities in every problem and Scott Taylor puts his point across is such a captivating story that is very easy to read and understand.

I have read this book four times now. When I have a problem that I can't find an opportunity in, I read the book again until an opportunity comes to me and it works every time. This is one of the most inspirational books I have ever read!

I, too, do not believe that problems actually exist. All are just challenges with opportunities for growth and advancement. Great concept and a book worth reading. Mr. Taylor suceeds in this book. Highly recommended.

Very comparable with Ken Blanchard's works, "The Opportunity in Every Problem" is a true conversion from pessimism and defines a easy-to-read approach to turning problems into opportunities.
Scott Taylor was truly inspired to write such a compelling book. Once you start, it will be hard to put it down.

I found this book to be well written, it is a quick read and provides inspirational and motivational insight and advice. I will be looking for more by this author.

When a problem is viewed as an opportunity, the solution to that problem will somehow materialize in a number of positive manifestations. However, when your belief is that the problem is a "problem," the only relative solution is to find fault with the problem and engulf your mind in the miseries and woes to which unresolved problems inevitable evolve. ~Scott T. Taylor

Scott L. Taylor presents his ideas in a story or parable-style format. His belief is that you should view problems as solutions instead of problematic considerations. What he seems to be saying is that we should view problems as opportunities to improve our lives instead of allowing the problems to destroy our lives.

The author lets the reader decide and doesn't really list any solutions and problems in particular. The last chapter has a list of mistaken beliefs, although I'm not sure why "You believe you have to solve your own problem" is a mistaken belief. The second item is "You believe you can't solve your problem." Which is it? I think we all have to solve our own problems. Even this book is saying that you solve your problems by viewing a problem as an opportunity for growth.
