Okay but overly repetitive

I got some good concepts from
You'd book in the early chapters and then it became too laboured after that. Still worth reading though

Great lessons, slightly repetitive.

Great book, and super insightful. Definitely learned a lot.

But...think it could have been summarized. After all, "Brevity is power" ;)

Great book

This book has a powerful yet simple to comprehend message. The flow was easy to follow and logical.
It may seem too simple to add value but when you put it into practice you'll see your results improve

'Life Changing!! Agree!'

I totally loved this book! I am a person who loves to do so many things! Yet I fail to be successful in any of the things that I do. I got so stressed and upset about myself and this book brought me back! I still do everything i used to do but in a much more organized manner. I have a prioritized list and more importantly I can complete what I planned. I felt so much better and more efficient. I have recommended this book to everyone! haha!
