I got this book from my university, so I decided to give it a try.

I haven't read the original version, so I didn't really have expectations.

I think for me, as a student, it could be very helpful. It made me reflect on the things I was already doing well and the things where there could be some progress.

It was a short read, but that is only more well chosen because I don't know if I would have finished it at the same with the little time I have.

Overall I think I would recommend it, also because it is a shorter version with some great tips.

Naar mijn mening een goed boek met veel handige tips. Deze tips waren duidelijk uitgelegd, echter was de onderbouwing van de tips soms wat kort door de bocht. Er is namelijk weinig geschreven over de wetenschappelijke theorie achter deze tips. Dit hield het boek wel kort en makkelijk te lezen. Een aanrader dus voor iedere student, zeker voor degenen die voor het eerst gaan studeren.

Dit was een verplichte leeropdracht voor de opleiding. En zoals hij ergens in het boek ook schrijft, dacht ik dat het tijdverspilling zou zijn, want ik had al een boek van hem gelezen over de zeven eigenschappen (de zeven eigenschappen die jou succesvol maken). Niets is minder waar, het was best veel waard en ik neem ook echt wat dingen mee in mijn komende studentenleven!

Required reading for college but gave me lots of good tips to stay focused and balanced in my career as a college student!

Raakte ff in paniek over studeren hahaha dus heb ik dit boek gisteren in een keer uitgelezen. Er zaten wel handige tips enzo in, maar ja ook weer dingen die ik echt niet zo slim vond.

I believe I’m gonna apply all of those habits from now on. Although I believe the writing could be better since it’s very repetitive.

Audiobook used as a companion resource for leadership integration in a college course I teach. Great strategies for young adults.

[Kat · Rating 1 out of 5]

I had to read this book for a college class, and it was terrible. It was boring and so, so repetitive. Everything was just repeated over and over until you wanted to smack you head into a brick wall. Also it has a weird underlying Christian vibe. Each of the habits seem to match up with one of the 7 Heavenly Virtues, and the author and his father are in fact heavily associated with the LDS church.

One final note: The advice on how to write a good essay was the worst advice I have ever read/been given on how to write an essay. I say this as someone who got a degree in English and never got less then a B on my essays.

Overall, I thought it was good. I would have liked it better though if the author would have done more to demonstrate that these habits have been studied scientifically and shown to be effective. Also, I didn't like that the author used the term "determinism" when he actually seemed to be referring to predeterminism or fatalism.
