About the Author

Jim Rohn is an American entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker, . His work has been influential in launching or furthering the careers of many others in the personal development industry, including Anthony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, and Jack Canfield. Born to an Idaho farming family in the mid 1900s, Mr. Rohn began his early adulthood without acclaim, leaving college after his first year, starting a family, and trying to get by as best he could as a salaried worker. By age 25, according to his accounts, he was in a personal rut familiar to many middle class families - in debt, unable to see a way that would lead to his personal ambitions. Around this time, he was introduced to John Earl Shoaff, an entrepreneur who impressed Mr. Rohn with his wealth, business accomplishments, charisma, and life philosophy. Mr. Rohn joined Mr. Shoaff's direct sales organization and began a process of personal development that culminated in his becoming a millionaire by age 31. It was a source of sorrow to Mr. Rohn that Mr. Shoaff, who had challenged him to reach for this goal, died one year before he achieved it. In the years that followed, Mr. Rohn discovered a demand from people outside his industry to hear his rags to riches story and the personal development philosophy that he felt had led to his accomplishments. His seminars have a span of over 40 years. He has addressed over 6,000 audiences and 4 million people worldwide. He was the recipient of the 1985 National Speakers Association CPAE Award and is the author of 17 different books, audio and video programs.

I have been a Jim Rohn fan for over 20 years. His wisdom is priceless. I am a Real Estate broker and a Toastmaster. These quotes supply me with very good speaking material. The motivation and practical wisdom I receive from Jim Rohn keeps me headed in the right direction in my business. If you never have read or heard Jim Rohn, you owe it to yourself to invest in his books and tapes.

I stumbed on this book after purchasing the Weekend Seminar by Jim Rohn on CD ROM. I had heard of Jim from other speakers like Tony Robbins but until now hadn't bothered to listen to any of his material. I found that his CD was just chock full of material and purchased this book as an abbreviated reference to many of his quotes.

Jim is more focussed on the business and financial aspect of self help -- although his advice does cross into different areas.

Highly recommended reading -- and you might also want to check out the Weekend Seminar CD set as well.

This is the nearest "how to navigate and succeed" guide I can find. Too bad we're not born with a self-help how to live life booklet, but Jim Rohn has complied a book of quotes that will help anyone at anytime. I bought one for my son and daughter and assured them that if they seriously studied this book, they would be better prepared to handle what life will throw at them. I recommend this book to any serious student of life, especially his/her own.
