In order to achieve your dreams, you must embrace adversity and make failure a regular part of your life. If you are not failing; you're probably not really moving forward.

This book is absolute garbage. It's author, JOHN C. Maxwell, claims to be a leadership expert. Far from it. He is a theologian who cannot express himself to anyone but the Indoctrinated Christian. His writing refers to so many biblical verses and stories that you cannot read it unless you're "in the dogmatic CHRISTIAN know". I am in the know and I am offended than this book does not make itself available to a secular audience or persons from other religions. One does not need be a CHRISTIAN to h

A MUST READ for anyone in leadership or desiring/aspiring to become a leader. Even if you are a team player...you would benefit from reading this easy, practical, short read book. I love this quote as it drew me to purchase this book: "ATTITUDE CAN MAKE OR BREAK YOU AND THE PEOPLE YOU LEAD." John C. Maxwell

Excellent book! I needed some motivation, and this book delivered. I love that it's slim, easy to read, but packed with great advice on how our attitudes affect our performance. If you're in a slump, feeling insecure, having doubts, or just need a general pick-me-up, read this book!

John C. Maxwell's Attitude 101 is a great book for people who think, or are leaders. It has some very valuable information on how to get a good mindset and attitude and how it will help you through your life. If you are a coach it is a great book full of tips for your team. Even for teammates, it can help you be more confident and competitive.

Short, concise, clear and to the point
This is what I felt when I read this little book. The content is quite good with various kinds of concepts that we can implement in improving our attitude.
It's just that the concept that is brought in, in my opinion, is quite abstract, so that most people may find it difficult to apply it in everyday life.
The language used is quite formal, so it seems stiff. Besides, the discussion structure is a little confusing, so that the essence of the problem and what ...more

Good short intro into Maxwell’s books on Attitude, and how it effects those in leadership rolls. While not in a leading job, Maxwell brings up great points that can apply to anyone in a professional, as well as personal setting. The chapter on not fearing failure is worth the price of the book.
This isn’t a deep boom at all. You can tell where there should be a couple pages, Maxwell chisels it down to a small paragraph, just skimming the surface of the topic.

Maxwell clearly help us with leadership but in this book he has talked about it head to head with importance of Attitude in everything you do,best about it is you can change your attitude'it can be changed for sure, Who we are today is the result of choices we made yesterday. Tomorrow we will become what we choose today. To change means to choose to change.

Good reinforcement book for how a leader’s attitude should be. Something new is the “twisted idea” that all men should be treated equal. Guess what, it’s wrong to expect that way. Men are treated differently since everyone has its own contribution and performance. Expecting that all should be receive equal treatment is a wrong mindset.
Looking forward to another John Maxwell book.

Simple yet profound. Lessons we must learn and teach to everyone. Second time reading this book and will read again no doubt.
Maxwell writes " Leaders have to give up to go up" and to believe sacrifice is the price great leadership takes a powerful attitude. You will find the foundational steps to a healthy attitude in this book. ...more

This was better than his relationships 101 book. It seemed a lot more diverse and covered more aspects of attitudes including failure. With quotes from other successful people, stories from others lives, and even bible stories, this is a really good book for anyone to read. I will probably be referring back to this often.

John Maxwell details the attitude a leader should have as they progress in their personal development journey. With stories and lessons, John's words speak to the heart of why our attitudes are just as important in developing our leadership capabilities as other aspects. Our attitude and mindset are key in developing the leader within you.

Your attitude is everything and failure is essential for success. These are the basic principles behind this small, easily read, book. Something we have heard and 'know' but is always good and necessary to hear again, and Maxwell presents it very well.

Jon has discussed common sense topics during this book and makes it easy for you to understand, make sense of it and implement in your personal and professional life. In the last two chapters, Jon discussed the "purpose" and "success journey" which I found very powerful.

I never really understood what Attitude was until I read this book. Your attitude is more than who you are on the surface.

Typical "self-help" sort of book, but I got an embarrassingly high number of quotes from this gem! Okay, okay... I kind of loved it ;) Now for my next "morning meeting" book!
