Editorial Reviews

Review

Winner of the Golden Play Button Award for Best Business Audio of 1996. Chandler doesn't give you a pep talk or a gut-check...he explains the nature of achievement. He doesn't merely give you encouragement, he gives you options. An example of the difference between encouragement and options is Chandler's response to a man who came up to him at a seminar and said, "My problem is that I never seem to finish anything...." The man wanted Chandler to give him some "affirmations" to alter his "belief system." Chandler responded," Do you think affirmations are what you need? If you had to learn how to use a computer, could you do it by sitting on a couch and repeating, 'I am great at using a computer...'?" Chandler then said, "The way to change your belief system is to change the truth about you...."[brought to you by HighBridge Audio]. -- Dale Dauten, Star Tribune, March 19, 1997 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I've had depression for over ten years - a disease that saps you of the motivation even to get out of bed - with heavy doses of anxiety over the things I had to do, wanted to do, "should" do... in fact, I was pretty much consistently overwhelmed and driven by fear. This book didn't fix that problem - meds and cognitive therapy books did - but this book was GREAT to read while procrastinating. After a couple of chapters, I'd lurch off my butt and get going. (Not an easy task with fatigued depression.)

But this book had an unexpected side effect. Not only did it motivate me short-term, it gave me lots of long-term help. Steve Chandler's outgoing and fearless philosophies have etched themselves into my brain over countless re-readings. It's not just a "motivation" book - it's a book about living life to the fullest. Some of the tips have nothing to do with motivation, per se - like singing to get a great confident speaking voice, getting over social embarrassment, and finding what you love to do. In fact, I think those chapters outnumber his motivational pep talks. That would be a negative selling point, if it hadn't had such a great overall effect.

There are also several chapters about planning. I swear, before I'd read this book I hardly ever wrote a list. Now, I've got them stuffed all over the place. Writing lists is a *little* motivational... but overall, I think it's done more for my career. I'm coming up with more and more creative ideas to make money.

I wanted a kick in the pants, but what I got was an attitude adjustment. Oh well... thanks, Steve.

Prodigious September 17, 2004
Format:Hardcover
This book aswell as the audio versions, unleashed a a fire in me that I didn't even know I had. I cosidered myslef to be a very uninspiring person, I always thought pessimistically, and I had absolutely no yearn for anything. I was lazy, watched too much television, I couldn't even take out the trash it was that bad, my only inspiration to do anything was when it got out of control.

A friend reccomended I take a look, I knew I wasn't going anywhere, so I gave it a go. everything i came across was self improving. A couple of the points I like are the Lie to yourself idea, which is great. I do consider that I originally lied to myself in wanting to achieve my goaal, but after putting in the dedication, I now fully believe what I want to do and that I can do it. the second is the writing down of ideas, I do this every day, and I have come up with so many Ideas I don't know what to do with them all. The motivational techniques, forced me to break some of my greatest all time fears, Since i broke those fears, I felt invincible. No longer afraid to talk to others in a socal gathering. I have turned off the tv, and when I turn it on I can't see anything worth watching, Reading more books, taking up piano lessons, the list goes on. I recomend anyone with even the slightest pessimism to try this book, it will change your life forever

100 Ways to Motivate Yourself is definitely one of the better self-help / leadership books I have read. The one part of this book that is quite unique is that Chandler often starts with a quote, then he presents an typical example and finally tells a brief short story. I find this to be quite refreshing in these types of books as Chandler covered a wide array of topics from taking action, looking at things from a different angle, using your imagination, setting goals, turning off your TV, relationships, etc.

I believe the key ingredient in getting long-term value out of this book is to highlight the quotes/stories you love and integrate them into your daily life. Practice what you read if it ties in with your values. Hope this helps everyone.
