Not for me
If you like high energy seminars, you will probably benefit from these suggestions. I am not a rah-rah person, and believe if a person sets out "to win" at everything, one automatically guarantees competition (struggle) and a loser. I don't like either. I'd rather get along with folks than compete with them, including my inner self. If that doesn't generate motivation, at least I don't irritate others with over-the-top fake "positivity." ( I'm not suggesting the author is falsely positive; I'm saying it would be false if I did it.)
This book was, however, short, to the point, and easy to read. I wish more self help authors wrote that way.

What better time to read a book on motivation and being positive in life.
During this period when almost the whole world is under lockdown and day by day its becoming frustrating and depressing, most of us need some motivation that keeps us going. So here I am recommending Motivation 101 by Paul G. Brodie. Paul, through his life experiences explains each and every motivational point in a very simple way that can be easily applied in your daily routine. I really liked the concept of asking questions from readers in each chapter as it makes the book more interactive. The author gives a very practical approach to find your motivation in life and ask you to Dream, which, in his words stands for Do, Relevant, Enjoy, Aspire, and Meaning.
This book will encourage and motivate you to live your life authentically and with purpose every day.
A Good read.

This is more a marketing brochure for author's other books than a book about motivation.

To be honest. This is just another motivation book.

Desperately needing some motivation to finish up a big project I'm working on, like all good procrastinators, I came to Amazon Kindle Store hoping to find something for what ailed me. In the search bar I typed "increase motivation"- because that's why I came for a visit- and hit enter. Lo and behold, there at the top of the list was a book titled Motivation 101: Ten Ways to Increase Your Daily Motivation, exactly what I was looking for. So after noticing the positive reviews, I clicked on it, read the description, and then immediately paid my 99 cents hoping this book would do the trick.
Wow, I wasn't disappointed, not one bit! This quick and easy to read book- yet so powerful in its simplicity- by Paul Brodie was perfect!! The author used his own story as examples to support the ten ways to increase motivation. Because of his honesty and humor and understanding tone, I found myself actually answering the questions he asked me at the end of each chapter on a sheet of paper. Why? Because I felt like if he was with me, he'd want to know. By the time I finished reading, which didn't take very long, and jotting down my thoughts, I felt great and ready to get back to the project still sitting on my dining room table waiting for me.
And so this morning, when I got up and read through my new morning motivation list (Chapter 2) and put on the song Renegade (Chapter 3), I realized that as soon as I stopped working (the opposite of procrastinating), I had to write a review. Thanks, Paul Brodie! I'm so glad I procrastinated and found your book, and now it's on my Kindle for when I need to hear your voice again tell me JUST DO IT!

This was a quick read and was very helpful. I found this book yesterday and started reading it this afternoon on my kindle. I could not put the book down. The author have great advice and shared his own story as examples to support the ten ways to increase motivation. Because of his honesty and humor and understanding tone, I found myself actually answering the questions he asked me at the end of each chapter on a sheet of paper. This short and direct book is well worth the investment and I look forward to reading the authors other book, Eat Less and Move More soon.

The author is very articulate and passionate on the subject of motivation which is clearly close to his heart. After experiencing bullying in sixth grade, weight problems and depression, he continues to make the most out of life, focusing on teaching kids and as a motivational speaker. This short book gives you tactics, quotes and references to enable you to understand each point from a well-rounded perspective.

Good ideas and processes
Covers most of the areas and processes that I have found works for me. No fluff, many self help books are 10 times the length and cover the same topics. Since the chapters are so short I believe I can read one a day in my daily planning to stay on track. A paraphrase of a qoute that fits is 'we know what to do, we just need to be reminded', Brodie reminds me.

It's not a motivational book. It's a self-promoting blog entry.

Short and to the point
Nothing new here. Just some friendly reminders of what most of us should already know.
Worth the read though. Thanks.
