Customer Reviews

Learn to turn your energy into positive energy.
All of Jon Gordon's books are great and this one takes no exception. I like the step by step method he uses in this fast paced, easy to read and right to the point book. Restore that belief in yourself and in your fellow humankind because life really is too short to live any other way. Another book I highly recommend is 'Understanding: Train of Thought'.

Easy & light-hearted but powerful, positive & motivating.
Exactly as the above synopsis describes, this book has been written in a lovely & easy to read format. Written in the fashion of a story of a man who has to catch a bus to go to work one day because his car won't start, but it's no ordinary bus......all the characters on the bus have a particular role to play in helping this man sort his life out, find out what's gone wrong with it & why, help him find out what he's doing wrong & help him discover not only what he wants & expects out of life but how to easily obtain & achieve his ambitions, goals & dreams.

Although written in a sipmle (& pleasing) style, the ideas are very powerful & complete. Most PMA books of this type are normally so think & laborious that all they achieve is sending you to sleep. This one is much more lively & positive & keeps you motivated to put the "Rules" into use & try them out.

The language is plain & clear & makes the book a light-hearted read no fancy jargon or (surprisingly) Americanisms.

Although only a short book, it has all the information you need to set you on the right course to find success in your life. Because it is short, it doesn't take long to read & put these invaluable ideas into practice. All you have to do is to remember these ideas & concepts the next time your out amongst other people!
