I really enjoyed this book, and learned a lot about my journey towards a successful life. John Maxwell has put together years of research about leadership, and the pursuit of success for this book. He uses a very straight forward approach towards the subject of success, and what it really means. Additionally, he reinforces his ideas with many quotes and stories from people of every walk of life.

Although some of Mr. Maxwell's thoughts and concepts were not new to me this book really challenged me to take an honest look at my life and where I am heading. Since I am currenlty in the middle of a huge career change (and trying to focus my thoughts on what my future should look like), I think that I discovered this book at the perfect time. It has helped me gain focus and motivation for the upcoming changes.

I especially enjoyed the practical exercises that are at the end of each chapter in the book. You can't just read this book and expect your life to change. You have to do some work, and the author constantly reminds you of this fact throughout. When I forced myself to answer some of the tough questions that he throws at you, I gained some real insight into my life's work, and where I am heading.

I also liked the fact that John Maxwell includes an entire chapter about family relationships and the fact that you cannot be successful, unless you are successful at home first. I have seen too many people make this mistake, so I am glad that he included this angle in the book. My wife and I had a great discussion about what we value when we completed the exercises at the end of this chapter together.

I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for insight into how to fulfill your dreams, how to become successful, or just want to improve their outlook on life. It can help give you a new perspective, and gives you the tools for an honest assessment of where you are, and where you want to go.

This book has had a major impact on how I am going to plan my journey towards my personal and business goals. John Maxwell teaches and illustrates step by step what needs to be done in order to maximize our potential in becoming the person we were put on this earth to be. The only requirement is a willingness to be honest with ones dreams and a pen with lots of ink. I am an avid reader in leadership books and self-improvement and must say that "The Success Journey" is by far one of the best books I have every read and cannot wait to share with my business associates and closest friends.

Maxwell has done a great job in this book. It changed my outlook on life and has helped me focus on what's important...the "journey", not the end result. Guaranteed this book will change your life. Just purchased 10 more books to give to friends and loved ones.

it changed my lifelong, discouraging concept of success. I was encouraged to see my life with hope again. please write more books like this. i have been telling my friends to buy the book. my negative attitudes are changing. best of all, this is so God-inspired. i just chanced upon this book, not realizing how much it was going to help me change . thank you. the bookstore said it's so hard to obtain it and i just didn't let go of it anymore at the store. hope i didn't say too much.

The journey is more fun if you know where you are going - is a powerful title for the opening chapter.

How do you know where to go?

How to get there?

How to have fun going to where you want to go?

How to maximize your potential?

John does not just ask. He provides valuable lessons to help us achieve the very purpose of our life. To often people either do not know the very purpose of their life or do not know how to achieve it. Worst still, it is not uncommon many do not know both. Whichever state you are in, this book will be able to help.

I did this book for my college age sunday school and it was great. Very practical information and i loved the quotes. It was written in an easy to read format and easy to do lessons on. I know a lot of what he says is common sense knowledge but sometimes we forget how important stuff like attitude is. He reminds us with example and practical principals. Maxwell is great i did his leadership series at work and he really has a great insight into success.

I found this book when organizing books on my bookshelf. I never purchased this book and I do not know how I came upon this book, but I'm glad I did. This book has changed my life!... When reading this book, you must have a clear mind. It is very important to receive the energy from this book. I am not a reader and I'm embarassed to admit it, but I can not put this book down. I will hold on to this book for my son (until he becomes older), and I'm praying he will hold on to this book for his son/daughter. Enough said, GET THE BOOK! Thank you Mr.Maxwell. Thank you.

As a life coach and licenced professional counselor I highly recommend this book if you are looking to focus your life in a way that makes a lasting impact. I've read this book at least twice to inspire me to continue to do what I love to do and do it to the best of my ability. I appreciate the part in which Maxwell talks about how fear leads to mediocrity. Lots of insight in a readable form.

I respected the author's views on success and appreciated his proven track record.

The book contains several quotes that served to drive home the author's key points.

I would have liked more specific instructions and techniques to achieving success; monetarily, emotionally, and spiritually.

Overall, definitely worth the purchase price and time to read.
