Very good sound ideas
It made clear many things that I had heard before. It just reminded me once again how great it is to keep employing these things in my life. Great ideas from a great teacher.

Inspiring
Though I already know a lot on goal setting etc,it is still nice to remind myself that I have to actually wrote them down, set big goals and keep doing them. It's a 5* for me.

*I was given a free copy of this book from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.*
This book was a short easy read, but it was very basic and felt very elementary. Pretty cheesy for the most part. It’s written in a very stilted, almost robotic way. And I felt like I was being talked down to. The chapters all begin and end exactly the same way so it was very redundant. If you’re really looking to do some goal-setting, the basics in this book might be helpful, but it was not a book I would read if you’re looking for a good story.
