Okay,I must admit, when I first came across Peak Performance I was in undergrad, struggling to make it through, and looking for something, anything, to give me an edge.

Then I found and read Ferrett's Peak Performance. It blew my mind; It energized me; It gave me the structure pieces to puzzle my life, business and work approach together.

And that was only the second edition.

Forward to 2011. I'm through school, Masters degree in hand (Largely because of Ferret's book) and I find her book buried on my bookshelf. I go to Amazon, type in her name and BOOM! another addition has been written. Um, like, five additions as a matter of fact.

Seventh addition. "WOW, I'm five additions behind," I think. I buy it immediately.

I think my mind is about to be blown again...And the book doesn't disappoint.

Take a look at a few section themes:

Part one--be a lifelong learner; expand your emotional intelligence; manage your time; maximize your resources

Part two--Listen and take effective notes; actively read; improve your memory skills; excel and taking tests; express yourself in writing and speech

Part three--become a critical and creative problem solver; create a healthy mind body and spirit; build supportive and diverse relationships; develop personal habits; explore majors and careers.

517 pages(not including glossary and index) of usable, actionable, and info to enrich your life, work, and business.

Can you see why I kept this book (second edition) around. And, can you see why I fell over myself to buy the newest addition? Just the section content titles alone show you the good stuff that's coming--stuff you won't get in many text books, let alone on store shelves today.

Okay, I'm drooling now; but, while I can't tell you how Ferrett's Peak Performance changed my life, my work and the way I do business, I can tell you this: BUY IT TODAY.

And if you're thinking the publisher or Ferrett must have slipped me a couple of party favors to say this, let me turn those thought off now. They did not. I just have no problem giving an A+ when it's earned.

This book will earn an A+ from you as well.

Very happy with this purchase. The book was brand new as described and I received it super fast. I was happy to get in 2 days for my next class. Very pleased.

Book was in excellent condition better than expected and shipped faster than expected all in all a perfect transaction. I will look you up again next semester when i need more books.

This book is a great start to getting over the boundaries of college. very student should use this book for it's knowledge and use it when it seems hard to see the fundementals of college.

This book arrived in excellent condition and is a must read for anyone wanting to achieve more in life. This book will help you to reach extraordinary success and away from the same old patterns you've become accustomed to.

the book was sent in a very timely manner. getting it days ahead of what they said it would take. It was in good shape and it was what we had ordered, and so much more affordable than the campus book store.

The book arrived earlier than expected and in new condition. Would buy from this seller again.

I had no idea how much college textbooks were until I looked into it. WOW!! But I have been able to find all my textbooks at such reasonable prices. My book was ontime and and in great condition!!
