Start your review of The Payoff Principle: Discover the 3 Secrets for Getting What You Want Out of Life and Work
We all want to get more out of some part of our life. It might be personally. It might be professionally. It might be in any part of our life.
In order to make that happen, it would be nice to have a formula, an approach, a plan. And if that plan were general enough to apply in any part of our lives, and specific enough to actually help, that would be great, wouldn’t it?
The plan is laid out in Alan Zimmerman’s new book.

If you enjoy books about how to get what you want in life this one is for you. I thought the book was very well researched.
I think we all should admit that the title looks a lot like those "SEE THIS ONE TIP THAT WILL MAKE YOU LOOK 5465313546 YEARS YOUNGER IN JUST 20 DAYS!" ads. That was the main reason this book caught my eye, to be honest. It was only after I checked the blurb and seen the P+P+P=P equation that I actually thought the book could be on something actually sensible. I wasn't wrong.

I received this book as a first read. It's laid out well and is well written. But it's mostly a rehash of everything we've heard in previous self help books - be positive, eliminate negative from your life, find a purpose in life, happiness is a choice, etc. Still worth a read for those interested in self improvement and probably a better choice than most other self help books on the market because of the good layout and writing.

Peautiful
Really resonated with me. Prior to reading this book, I was also thinking along the same lines. In my framework, I also had "patience" which seems to be included under Passion. Given that there will be setbacks etc, getting up after falling, and waiting patiently even though it may be boringly long is a virtue we all need, especially the gen Y and gen Z around us.
I did not give five star since the author's language sounds a bit like "sales pitch". It has a so simple but so powerful app ...more

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
The Payoff Principle by Alan Zimmerman is an interesting take, if not completely original, on the self-help book to achieve one’s goals. The book is logically organized and builds upon the prior sections like a piece of music building to its crescendo.
The Payoff Principle purports to give readers the entire formula for success. Success being defined by one’s purpose and passion. Success being reached by identifying ...more
This book was laid out well and the format was effective in transmitting the message of the book. Although the content was not really something new, how it all came together and summarized past knowledge to create the Payoff Principle formula made the message come across as something new and refreshing. Books like these are definitely something to pick up if you want to reflect and rethink things and be reminded of what truly matters in this life.
