All entrepreneurs and business leaders face similar frustrations: personnel conflict, profit woes, and inadequate growth. Decisions never seem to get made, or once made, fail to be properly implemented. But there is a solution. It’s not complicated or theoretical.

You'd be unstoppable. In this book, Mel teaches you how to start high fiving the most important person in your life, the one who is staring back at you in the mirror: YOURSELF.

Eileen Sharp and Vic Hightower were frustrated. After years of profitable, predictable growth, Swan Services was in a rut. Meetings were called and discussions held, but few decisions were made and even less got done. People were pointing fingers and assigning blame, but nothing happened to solve Swan’s mounting problems. It felt as though they were working harder than ever but with less impact. The company Eileen and Vic had founded and built for 10 years was a different place. It just wasn’t fun anymore.

Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

Actionable, real, scientifically based information for working towards a better life.
Matthew wrote and narrated this book beautifully. His profound concept of counting the days of your life remaining, instead of the usual years lived, has changed the way I think about how I spend and want to spent my days here on earth.
He gives actionable, science backed steps on how to plan, create and live a life you deem successful.
The interview and insights at the end of this audiobook makes this version well worth the listen!
This is a book I will be sharing with others every chance I get.
A must read for anyone stuck on where or how you want to move forward in your life, or those who think they could do more.

The most solid self help book around on business
What made the experience of listening to Life in Half a Second the most enjoyable?
The content was based on science not fluff and although at first can seem re=hashed ie goal setting etc the work around this gives you man aha moments and moments where you just know what he is saying is true.
What did you like best about this story?
The reality that no matter how much you push toward a goal without a sincere desire for that goal you wont be able to stick it out.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Just being in the moment and being so present. I really also related to his stories of Arnie and his more macro look at the universe and life was very much like my own.
Any additional comments?
Its for want of a better word the bible for business and success in general and the title reminds you of how important it is to move now on the most important goals in life. Not to waste your time on this earth.

The first book I have ever reviewed because the first time I was so impressed with the whole book not just some parts of it. The entire story, the big message and the smallest actions the author is asking you to take. No smoke and mirrors just down to earth advice with a number of great real life examples.

The Best Self Improvement Book
If you could sum up Life in Half a Second in three words, what would they be?
First of all english isn't my native language so I will try my best to explain. This book isn't another self help book to inspire only, its far from that. I read a lot of them but even though they inspire you actually don't know how to start. This book he summarized all success books into 5 doors of success, and they are:
1-Goals and clarity
2-Belive
3-Desire
4-knowledge
5-fear
and he provide facts and stunning statistics and how famous people benefit from it besides how it really impacted himself as well. Its very practical book how to even make your goals into 4 stages of milestone and give examples as well.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Life in Half a Second?
How Desire what make people achieve goals or no, its how much desire that make you achieve a goal when things get tough. and that many people go after goals that they don't actually have a desire. I know it might seem as simple idea, but he explain it in profound way, that made me question some of my goals.
What does Matthew Michalewicz bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Since the author who reads, you can really sense his sincere desire to change your life and his passion. his passion really have strong effect on you that you feel
What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?
That lots of people read self help books but didn't take action to change their life and he provided statistics and facts and how to actually change that
Any additional comments?
you must check his youtube amazing videos, he kinda remind me of Arnold Schwarzenegger :)

The most profound, comprehensive and practical book on how-to live a meaningful and purposeful life.
You could feel and sense the enthusiasm, the powerful expression & the authenticity of the author's intention via his own voice. True example of congruence of words and actions. No bluffs, or wishful thinking nor just great ideas!
Thank you Matthew for writing & creating such a powerful masterpiece!

Overall Good Book, A few mistakes
Overall I like this book. I think it provides a good framework for thinking about success at an individual perspective. However, some of what the author claims is wholly unsupported by research. For instance, he claims that telling other people your goals increases your commitment to them. This is true only for proximal goals, for goals that are immediately and quickly attainable, and not for longer term goals. Telling others your longer-term goals is a fast way to failure.
His insistence on visualization also has little to no support, and he completely glosses over the fact that habits control much of our lives independent of our desires (see Charles Duhigg) and that willpower is finite and can fail even when our desire may be strong(see Baumeister’s research).

So unbelievably valuable
I am listening over and over. No other business book has distilled success so simply and elequantly. I'm so glad Matt put his ideas to paper and audio. I also heard Matt speak at a conference in Philadelphia and had the chance to speak with him in person. He is living proof of his concepts. He is the real deal. I highly recommend this book. Thanks Matt, you've made an enormous difference in my life that I can't even quantify. Leslie.

Life Changing
This is a life changing read.
For me, it was the spark that has helped me find clarity on what it is i want to do with my life. It has given me urgency to not waste any more time. My wife (who doesn't normally like either audio books, or the genre) listened with me as we jointly took in what Matt had to say, inspiring both of us to act.
In particular, the book has both lessons from Matt's experiences, but also has practical tools that you can use to help you set your goals and achieve them.

worth reading for anyone
at first I thought this was a bit 101. set goals, write them down. but stick with it. the book links a number of supporting concepts together in a great way. and we all need to be reminded of first principals from time to time.

Boring and Repetative
What did you like best about Life in Half a Second? What did you like least?
The info was OK but delivered badly with nothing new and hardly 'scientific' as claimed. The methodology seems highly directed at being financially rich as a sign of success, which is clearly the desire of the author at the least (no doubt by selling this book).
Would you be willing to try another book from Matthew Michalewicz? Why or why not?
No, I didn't find him in any way inspiring and in fact his voice was damned annoying
What didn’t you like about Matthew Michalewicz’s performance?
Nothing. It was horrible and I wanted to turn it off... He may be authentic but he does not have the charisma to make you (or me at least) want to listen and in fact at points I found myself reaching to turn him off.
Do you think Life in Half a Second needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
NO. Because it could have all been written on the back of an envelope as 5 bullet points with a little explanation
Any additional comments?
Yes. Go look elsewhere to find the tools you need to succeed. Anthony Robbins springs to mind.

Repeat of old ideas
Would you try another book written by Matthew Michalewicz or narrated by Matthew Michalewicz?
No. It was very badly narrated and the ideas were essentially a rehash of other books.
What was most disappointing about Matthew Michalewicz’s story?
Disappointing as there was nothing new and painful to listen to as his tone and style of narrating is poor
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Matthew Michalewicz?
Good question. Anthony Robbins. Stephen Fry.
Could you see Life in Half a Second being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
Definitely not. It's a very weak story that's lacking in substance
Any additional comments?
I wouldn't recommend it. This book shows that anyone who can does publish books and there is no quality control. I would suggest reading or listening to Anthony Robbins and Napoleon Hill

I think it will defiantly change my life!
What did you like most about Life in Half a Second?
The author conveys the content for which very well, it puts life in prospective. It's one one the most motivating books iv'e read. I was continually thinking how I could make changes, be better, achieve more, do more without compromising on life itself.

Powerful stuff!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
So I would class myself as a bit of a self help book junkie, I guess that I've been looking for guidance and perhaps the answers for a number of years. This is the first book that has really connected with me.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Life in Half a Second?
Rather than looking at how many days you've lived looking at how many days you have left really changes your thought process and makes you immediately spring into action. I've developed and fully defined my goals and I'm looking forward to seeing the results.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes for sure, and I nearly did!!

Terrible book
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Michalewicz has a very broken attitude and philosophy on life. I listened until the point I could take no more, which arrived when he states black youth, wearing gang colours, should own their reality, read more at the library, buy his book, move upstate, work at McDonald's and hang out with millionaires to receive instructive guidance on how to improve their wretchedness.
This book is disgraceful, shambolic and patronizing.
On a final note, writers should realize they *may* be talented scribes, yet terrible narrators. To write *and* read a book means the author is a) multi-talented at writing and narrating b) cheap and/or broke c) a self indulgent sociopath.
Michalewicz gets two points out of three.

Mateusz you are awesome!
Usually there is a single one element I can point in each great book I have read and say "this is the thing that change me, this one thing I will remember". However with Life in Half a Second it is impossible for me to indicate only one concept - almost each chapter made me stop and digest, think, reflect or simply wait until goose bumps fade away. This is despite the fact I have travelled self development journey a long time now.
It feels so great seeing yourself to pause the audio every so often and jumping into the action because what you hear is so so so inspiring.
I will be listening to this many many times to no end...
For now I can state without shadow of a doubt that the book has changed my life for the better and I thank you Mateusz for giving me this experience :)
Lets do some action!
Sincerely, Lukasz

Very interesting and motivating story that has changed my perception of life. This is definitely one of the best books about self-esteem and putting life on the right track. Matthew is a great mentor and his book is a 'must read' if you want to achieve more in your life.

Truly Inspiring Audio Book
Life in half a second is definitely up there as one of the best motivational Audio book I've come across.
Matthew's journey grips you from start to finish, he has implemented some science facts to make you understand your success in life . Never heard of him before, I'm pleased I'd purchased it.

Of my 68 books in the last 18 months, this is BEST
Where does Life in Half a Second rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is absolutely out of the league of the other books that I have read, including many of the classics (which I won't name). But put it this way ... My reading list is 68 books (on Audio or print) in the last 18 months, and the advice in this book is simple to follow, and addresses many of the issues that I was previously stalling with.Matthew is a VERY knowledgeable man, and makes it sound so easy.THE BEST PART is that the implementation actually IS easy, and his videos (and Goal Pyramid download) ensure that you have a foolproof method of implementing.I have read this (now on my second play - of many I am sure!), with GREAT excitement, and even been rushing home on an evening (after the day job) to implement this stuff. In fact already it has made an impact. I have reduced my working hours in my day business (but put prices up and niched) in order to get the same income over less hours, and now I have a success buddy, tonight I speak to a potential mentor, and the world is definately going to change for the better.
Now that I have less hours to meet my comfortable income, I can now focus on doing what I REALLY want (aligned with my passions and desires), and in fact have already started the web site, and about to add the first drop of content.
What did you like best about this story?

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It actually gave me goosebumps! PURE penny dropping moments, and plenty of them!
Any additional comments?
As a famous sports company say "Just GET it!" (then "just do it").
