5.0 out of 5 starsI wish I could give this book ten stars!
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2007
I wish I could give this book ten stars! I've read most of the great motivational books - Napolean Hill's Think and Grow Rich and Master Keys to Riches, and Norman Vincent Peal's Positive Mental Attitude, plus dozens more, but this book summarizes them all. If you are looking for a quick fix, this book is not it. It is a book which will make you think, examine, question. Take it in small bites. My volume is underlined, starred, notes in the margins. This is a great summary of the best of the best. If you are in a hurry to reach your goals, this is the book you need to start with. However, it is NOT a fast process.

If you truly wish to turn your life around, this is the book for you. If you are not sure of where you want to go, this is the book for you. If you feel that YOU are different, that LIFE has given you some bad blows, this is the book for you. START HERE!

Mr. Tracy will take you by the hand. Help you to eliminate your excuses. Help you to examine your true goals. Help you to lay out your plans. He will not let you make exuses but will hold up the mirror of self examination so you can see where you are fooling yourself (but no one else, really). He will help you face YOUR truth, but will also kindly provide the path you seek to a better life.

I am planning to buy this book for all of my employees, although I'm not sure all of them will "get it." You make your own life; you are responsible for where you are right now...and for where you will be in the future. I am also planning to contact Mr. Tracy to see if he will be a guest speaker at my organization.

Folks, if you can buy only one book, then this is the one. I've read most of the other major players....Hill, Stone, Peale, Mandigo, Clawson, Collins....and they're all great. Many of them are at your local library. But for the very small price of this book, I recommend that you buy Maximum Achievement so that you, too, can underline, write, reread, make notes, and totally consume this book. This is not a paid advertisement. I have never met Mr. Tracy nor have ever read any of his other books (however, I intend to now).

If you want to make the most of your life, this is the book which will head you down that road.

3.0 out of 5 starsYet another rehash
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2021
I like Brian Tracy but his books are just repeats and/or content written about elsewhere. His story gets repeated in every book, similar examples, etc. If you haven’t read his books, this is a great book. It’s got a lot of actionable ideas and is presented well. If you have read his books, you might not much new content.

This book should be incorporated into formal education system. If everyone would have read this book then we will all live in a harmonic society. It's a must-have book no matter you're seeking advices on how to succeed at work, business, how to set a goal and achieve it, how to win friends, or how to build a better relationship with your family and your other half.

The book title should be "How To Be Successful In Life"

The writing style and layouts are very easy to read and understand. Every book should be written in this way.

There's no big words in this book so if you have children, I would recommend you to give them the books to read after you're done reading it. They will love you and respect you more for teaching them the lessons of a successful life.

I really like the later chapters when Brian got into how to master human relationships. He said "Love is the most important thing in life." Can it be more truthful?

Only 10% of the key points in the book:

- You can't give what you don't have. You need to like and respect yourself more before you can love and respect others.
- Never criticize
- You are where you are because of your past decisions
- You are responsible for everything that happened in your life, so stop blaming.
- Peace of mind is essential to success in everything. It's also the highest human good.
- One of your major responsibilities is to get your life under your control.
- What you sow is what you reap
- Whatever that you expect with confidence becomes your own self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world
- Law of substitution: Your conscious mind can only hold one thought at a time, replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts throughout the day.
- Some affirmation tips on achieving your goals.
- 12 step system for goal setting and goal achieving <---awesome
- Responsibility = control = freedom = positive emotions

5.0 out of 5 stars I am Grateful for this book
Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2016

This is the first personal development book I've ever read at 21, I'm 24 about to turn 25 and I've read hundred of books since then but this stays as my favorite book. It Could be because it changed me the most, I was an addict and I overcame that addiction with the principles taught in this book, I went from being hopeless to being excited about my future and what I could do and be. My family and I have a 10x better relationship now and they are adopting my way of thinking and acting, which I got from this book, and they are grateful for the positive change as well.

It taught me Things like: how to control your thoughts instead of letting them control you, how to set goals, how to have healthy relationships, how to use the laws of the universe to aid you instead of destroy you, how to build a successful life, how to have Financial and career success, how to love yourself and others, how to build self esteem in yourself and in others, how to talk to yourself and how not to, how to make better friends, how to think like a success, and much much more..

This book Teaches you everything you need to know to live a happier and more successful life. I am grateful that I stumbled upon it when I was at my lowest point.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best

Before i give the feedback, just wanna share little bit my background: I am an IT professional who graduated from Grad School 6 years ago. After hardworking etc.I realized almost all my goals set up during school - a 6 figure salary job, a house, family etc....all of a sudden i lost myself without knowing what to do next, i even got into slight depression. Then i know i need to change, and re-configure my life. Like what Mr Tracy said: the "subconscious" worked for me - I found this book when i randomly surf internet.

I am telling you: it's amazing! This book is a combination of psychology masterpiece and all types of very useful insight about life and everything. I read it carefully and made notes and while i am doing that, i feel i am already changing internally. The main difference of this book is that a lot of Laws and observation the author listed there are so true that you will immediately believe in it. why? because you just know what he said is true. Read it, you will know what i am talking about.

My life got changed right after i started applying the rules & principles of this book - I got promoted at my job and my own business got started, i started to feel full of energy and life again - I feel the "new me" i have never seen, i know i will achieve bigger dream sooner or later.

I will keep update about my progress to support this life-changing book i love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Destined To Be A Classic

I have recently become a big fan of Brian Tracy. My first exposure to the success/self-help genre was a year ago via Tony Robbins. Tony is great, and I recommend his material highly. However, I'm wishing that I had started off with Brian Tracy instead. His books contain no fluff, a metric ton of actionable material, and some incredibly deep knowledge that is described in an easy to understand manner. This seems to me to be his standout book, at least in my opinion. Maximum Achievement deals mainly with mastering the mind, and mental/psychological issues. This is a great book to get as your first self-help book, because it can help you to get rid of a lot of issues that you have and pave the way for you to implement all of the other success strategies taught by Brian Tracy. It is impossible to try to sum this book up in a review, so I am not even going to try. It's very deep. This is a seminal book, and I don't think there is another book out there like it. If you're new to Brian Tracy, get this one first and then get as many of his other books and audios as you can.

I have read Think & Grow Rich, Creative Visualization, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, The Magic of Believing, The Game of Life & How to Play It, etc. They are all spectacular books which have had a profound impact on my life. But the #1 book (and it's not even close) I have read on achieving success is Maximum Achievement. This book is a foundation which contains elements of all of these aforementioned books.This book is PERFECTION, and I swear that is no exaggeration. I cannot vouch for this book any further. Tracy has truly figured out the SECRET to success. The power of this book is absolutely absolutely remarkable. It will blow your mind. It will completely shatter your reality of limiting beliefs and social conditioning. Please read this book with an open mind. If you TRULY "get it", if you truly feel it in your heart, your life will never be the same. It is a red pill moment reading this book. You will realize that you can really achieve anything in this life--including what you once thought was impossible. Having read and understanding this book was so fundamental to who I am today, I cannot thank B.Tracy any further.

I have been reading this book slowly over a course of about a couple months now. Not that I'm a slow reader, I just haven't had a chance to really sit for a long period and read it's entirety. Nonetheless, this book is amazing! Almost every time I open this and read a few pages, it's an instantaneous eye opener, awe inspiring, and thought provoking. I've read many self help books i.e., Awaken the Giant Within, Psycocybernetics, and Unlimited Power just to name a few. However, just like Bobby Fischer is the genius to the chess world, David Tracy is the guru of self help books, He is Mufasa in Lion King except he kills Scar this time and lives forever, he's the Rocky Balboa of Hollywood boxing, he is what Elvis is
to rock n roll, the man is brilliant! If I could give this book a 10,000 out of 5 I would. Do yourself a favor and give yourself an upgrade. Get this book!

This book can legit be life changing. The minute I finished it I’ve decided to go back and take notes by hand on the information in it because I believe it’s that useful. Honestly I think everyone should read this book, it should be in school, or at least the core principles of it.

I am not going to write a long review going into the details of the book. The title says it all !!
I bought this book 4 months ago and so far it has changed my life and is still changing my life ! As a matter of fact, i am currently reading it for the second time and enjoying it even more than the first time.
Just for the record, i was doing well in my life before reading the book, that just puts the emphasis on how powerful the things in this book are ! No matter who you are and how accomplished you are in your life, this book will bring you ( lots of ) value !!
