When we saturate our minds with positive messages, as I did when the chips were down, we can transform our thinking and, in turn, our actions. Inspiration is like oxygen for the soul; all you have to do is breathe it in. ~ Peter H. Thomas (Be Great, page 136)

There are many treasures to be found in this book. One of the exercises that Peter H. Thomas encourages his readers to undertake is reflecting on the things that we have accomplished in life, rather than focusing on all the mistakes we have made.

Peter H. Thomas is a millionaire and the co-founder of Century 21 in Canada.

Peter Thomas:

BE GREAT – The five foundations for an extraordinary life in business – and beyond.

The founder of Century 21 Canada explains his philosophy that brought him financial despair into wealth.

Having spearheaded billions of real estate investments in North America, he shares his road that was full of challenges, trials and tragedy.

A very fine read.

This book is short and simple and definitely a pleasant read. Main message: clearly define your values in life, take all life decisions based on these values and focus all your energy in achieving your goals. The book is not business oriented as the title suggests..but rather very general for any person ..
