Timeless

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2023

Read this as a teen over 25 years ago. Just bought a couple copies for my boys.

Its a easy, systematic approach to goal setting you can utilize your entire life.

It’s alright.

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2021

This book is kinda decent if you have unlimited time to learn the ten thousand techniques it offers. It’s more of a program to dedicate your life to the book itself. Also, it is all about business, not much about solitary goals. But I am still not sure if you need a program this complex. Most people don’t have this kind of willpower.

Missing pages

I really struggled to give this book 2 Stars. I love this book. It had changed my life. I have bought it for multiple people cause I think it’s such a good book. If I were rating it strictly on content it would receive 5 stars, but as I was reading it I got to page 174 and to my dismay realized that it was missing the next 8 pages... it jumped straight from 174 to 183. I am checking with the other people that I bought the book from to see if they had the same issue. I will update the review in the future.

I have checked with the other people that I bought the book for and neither of them have had my same issue.

A lot of stories and examples... This book is lacking of an organized process, blueprint or system as the description promises.

Abscense of science backup too. Repeating concepts and ideas.

10% Useful, 90% REHASH!

Why this is BAD –
1. It’s just a rehash of all his previous books.
2. It’s one of those Cliched SELF-HELP books.
3. It has nothing new to offer.
4. The advice is cliched and not worth your time.
5. Even the anecdotes are a rehash from his previous books.
6. I skimmed through 90% of the book, it was that boring and useless.
The Long version -

I picked this book mainly to improve my goal setting skills and expected that it would give me effective means of setting and deciding what goals are important. I had high hopes for this book, and it failed to fulfill even one of them.

This book seemed to me as if it were just a rehash of all the previous books of Brian Tracy. I'd already read 'Million Dollar Habits', by Brian before reading this. That book changed my life completely. I thought the same would be the matter with this book, but sadly it wasn't. I found myself skimming through 80 percent of the book. Most of it was just filler words of over-optimism and pointless anecdotes.

What he did was, he took a few topics from 'Million Dollar Habits' and rehashed them and dragged them into a full-blown book. Hell, even the stories or anecdotes used were similar in both the books. That's the thing with Brian Tracy's books;' if you read one of his books, you've essentially read all of his books '. This book proved to be ineffective in giving me any solid systems for goal setting. Tracy keeps on talking about the mindset, the behavior, and the people you associate with, instead of giving any clear ways or systems to effectively set goals and achieve them.

In conclusion, this book was a mere sham for me, it didn't provide me with any value, and I found it to be one of those 'CLICHED' self-help books that promises everything but delivers nothing. My only advice is this, if this is your first-time reading Brian Tracy, it can be slightly helpful. If you've already read other books by Brian Tracy, I beg you to skip this book, you could read other authors like John C Maxwell, W. Clement Stone, Mark Hanson, Jordan Peterson, Jocko Willink or David Goggins.

Thrown together and badly written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 11, 2015

Old regurgitated material from other books....not very engaging style of writing... I got fed up with this book quickly. Very dry and full of dull information focusing on what instead of how.... There are better books than this on the subject.
