من أجمل ما قرأت عن التنمية الذاتية ,, بعد فترة من المقاطعة لها بسبب سطحية الكثير منها لكن جاء هذا الكتاب ليعدل الفكرة مرة أخرى وأنه مازال هناك كثير من القيمة ممكن أن نكتسبها عن طريق تلك الكتب ,, الكتاب بصفة عامة يناقش فكرة التركيز وكيف نستفيد من تلك العادة لتحقيق أثمن القيم في الحياة من اول الإستقلال المادي والتحرر من قيود الوظيفة النظامية إلى غايتك في الحياة ,
أنصح جدا بقراءة الكتاب وأفكر جديا بشراء عدد من نسخه وإعطاءه كهدايا

كتاب قوى بشكل عملى فأنا لا أميل للكتب المريضة تحت اسم التنمية البشرية ولكن هذا الكتاب هو وسيلة جيدة جداً إذا كنت تريد تحسين أسلوب تفكيرك وحياتك والبحث عن نقاط قوتك وكيفية استثمارها أرشحه بقوة للقراءة، لقد كنت فى حاجة إليه وجعلنى أتخذ بعض القرارات المهمة فى حياتى بناء على تفكيرى فيما أتميز فيه وساعدنى على وضع أهدافى أيضاً ، اقرئه بتأنى وفكر فى كل فصل وسؤال يطرحه وقتاً طويلاً حتى تجد نفسك :)

كثيرة هي الكتب التي تدور حول تطوير الذات وتتناول جوانب معينة في الشخصية..
أشعر أحياناً أنني أصبت بالتخمة من هذه النوعية من الكتب حتى أني لم أعد أتحمس لأي كتاب يبدأ بـ.."كيف"..!
بعض هذه الكتب تشعرك أن هناك وصفة سحرية للنجاح ..ببساطة أن "تبل الصفحات وتشرب مويتها"
حتى وقع في يدي هذا الكتاب..
ولست أعلم حقيقة..هل كانت أرضي مستعدة لإستقبال كلمات هذا الكتاب وأفكاره كمطر بعد طول جفاف..
أم أنه حقاً كتاب قيم لهذه الدرجة..
ربما اجتمع العاملان معاً ، فرياحي كانت مواتية والمطر كان موسمياً..

I have owned this book for years and years. When I picked it up to read it most recently it looks like I got about 100 pages in. I started fresh from the beginning and made the goal to start and finish this time. I am a different person today than I was back when I picked up this book. Jack, Mark and Les are a good team to write a book that provides a teaching and often a story to reinforce. I read about a third of the book out loud with my wife and she enjoyed it even. My work day starts in 20...more

جميل جدا ومحفّز
وصادق وواقعي الى حد ما

Разочарован. После множества положительных рецензий ожидал от книги новых идей. Их нет - очередное пособие для неудачников, после прочтения которого остался лишь один вопрос: Я прочел это до конца потому что сам не понимал этих очевидных вещей? Книга по всем статьям проигрывает работам того же Гладуэлла, в которых разбираются вполне конкретные участки, а не ведется стрельба из пушки по воробьям.

مادة مفيدة جدا جدا جدا وغنية بالكنوز العملية ..دسمة نوعا ما .. اذا ماكنت مستعد تطبق فلاتقرأ .!
i like this book so much ,, it tought me how to be organized and how to make a balance in my life ,, am always read it wn i feel upset or under prusser
I decided that the achievers coaching program described in this book is one of good self-improvement programs. Although it is far from perfect, it added new concepts/connections to my understanding of self-improvement.
I liked the form in page 90. Many self-improvement programs lack some kind of flow chart of the overall program as in page 211. And i liked the concept of consistency circle in page 225.

"The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit -and must understand that practices are what create habits. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him - and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires." - John Paul Getty. A touch of the wisdom shared in the power of focus, reinforces important concepts and highlights a few new implementation strategies. Implement 4 n...more
Для быстрой проработки в принципе достаточно пробежаться только по руководству к действиям в конце каждой главы.
Некоторые примеры не очень понятно заходят в голову, а где-то хотелось их просто больше нуля.
В любом случае книгу посчитал достойной конспектирования.

This was good, but not inspiring to me. I have read read quite a few books in this genre. I did take away some new ideas and would recommend it among others to someone looking for checkpoints against which to assess their progress in life. Most impressive on me personally was their perspective on habits ("Successful People Have Successful Habits" and "Your Habits will Determine Your Quality of Life"). I also took to heart the reinforcement about focusing on natural talents and trading that for o...more
كتاب قمة في الروعة .. قسمه الكتّاب الثلاثة إلى 10 أقسام أساسية .. والجميل في الأمر أنه بعد نهاية كل فصل يتم تذكيرك بهذه الأقسام بطريقة عرض جميلة مع ذكر لخطوات عمل تستطيع تطبيقها بسهولة في حياتك اليومية .. كتاب قمة في الروعة استطاع الكتّاب فيه دفعي إلى الأمام لإنهاء الكتاب والاستفادة منه بأفضل طريقة ممكنة .. صدقاً .. وقبل أن أنهي الكتاب بدأت ألاحظ أموراً لم أكن ألحظها .. وبدأت أشعر أن حياتي تتغير للأفضل .. والحمد لله ..

I read many similar books in the early 2000s and they were a launch pad for me to a new life. I set my mind on learning a language, going back to school and graduating, getting new and better paying jobs, etc. This is one of the books that kept me on track, gave me ideas and kept me going. It is not an easy path to turn one's life around, but once you start there is no stopping you. A great book if you're attempting to recharge your life and need a pep talk.
This is a great guide for getting your act in order and focusing on your true priorities. I found this one book to be more useful than the handful of Brian Tracy books I've read. That's probably because I actually took the time to do the end-of-chapter exercises in The Power of Focus. This is one that I will come back to again and again in the years ahead. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to actually make something of themselves.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Easy to read, simple language with a decent mix of humor and good examples ... plus lots of "action steps" to help move you forward with the process. In truth, this book is about so much more than what I defined "focus" as. And necessarily so too!
I found myself nodding my head, page after page, as I read through the material. I either totally felt, or saw myself, the way they were describing something, or fully agreed with the supportive information they...more

A nice combination of business planning guide and personal productivity assessment. It's by the same authors as the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, so when I saw it at the library I thought I would give it a try. The advice is applicable and there are many opportunities to interact with the material within. Very practical and something I would recommend for those who want to peruse it within the categories it's under.
This book is good. Any book that Jack C. and Mark V. Hansen do will be amazing, in and of itself. However, I feel that I benefitted more greatly from reading THE ALADDIN FACTOR by these two authors. The reading or listening is profound and you will enjoy the stories they interweave throughout the wisdom of the book.
A very inspiring book with lots of life examples, practical pieces of advice and, what I've found the most attracting, interaction between the authors and the reader. Some of the issues, which were discussed, seems too faraway - like running a company. But things like procrastination - thanks God someone has solved this problem! well. at least has tried to do it)
Thinking about re-reading it 10 years later if something goes wrong with my career;)

Изложенные идеи просты и достаточно известны, но если их не воплощать в жизнь, то изменений не произойдет. Для меня очередной толчок начать изменения в жизни)
Absolutely super charged my business! One year later, I realize that the FOCUSED activities I put into action = success! Not an easy read, but well worth the effort! Don't just read it -- do the exercises, keep a journal, take action, then look back one year later!
I don't believe that much in recipes for a better life. That said, this book contains good advices concisely explained.

Loved this book... Great for getting back on track with priorityies, goals, and life. Excellent resource to obtain clarificiation and new direction and focus...Includes basic and essential principals regarding spirituality as well... a good read...
Great book, that changed my life.
I set up life goals in the previous year, as a result of review 70% of them were completed.
It's really a powerful tool, you should read it for sure in order to add purpose in your life.

The Power of Focus is a life planning book. It is a book that should be read at least twice a year. If you apply the strategies, worksheets, & action steps the authors created, you will achieve the power of focus.
A really amazing book, very inspiring, and has practical methods to achieve what is written, it taught me that I am responsible for my own happiness, and if I do not like how things are going on in my life then I need to make changes myself for things to change...
Loved it, I could not stop reading it..
Will have to read it again to stay focused
It is important to know what matters to you the most, what are your goals in life, in general that is what makes you decide how to live your life

This is a good, quick read. While it's geared towards entrepreneurs, this is a must-read for anyone who wants to achieve financial success through critical thinking and measurable actions.
