    The bestselling author now has a 101 series dealing with small aspects. This book reads like a cut-and-paste from other books and is filled with feel-good soundbytes. This book could be called "The Power of Positive Thinking" and at times Maxwell sounds just like Joel Osteen. The difference between the two is that evangelicals roundly praise and promote Maxwell's books while criticizing Osteen's sermons for saying the identical thing. "Eliminate the following from your vocabulary: 'I can't,'; 'doubt'; (etc.)" You can be whatever you want to be if you just persist with the right attitude. With plenty of biblical tidbits and anecdotes to illustrate.

    A definition: "Success is knowing your purpose in life, growing to reach your maximum potential and sowing seeds that benefit others."

    Failure and adversity are key to success. Fail forward. The best literary works were produced by people in prison/exile. Obstacles are opportunities in disguise.

    It is not that I disagree with much of what Maxwell says, but this is just another rah-rah book that lacks scholarship related to psychology that you can find in other works today. Hence, it's a "101" book but I can't rate it highly. I would disagree with Maxwell that focusing on a single goal is effective as opposed to focusing on the habits that get you there. Read some Tim Ferriss or James Clear.

    Want to change your attitude? Then:
    1. Evaluate your present attitude
    2. Realize that faith is greater than fear
    3. Write a statement of purpose
    Write specifically what you want to accomplish each day.
    Verbalize to an encouraging friend what you want to accomplish each day.
    Take action on your goal each day.
    4. Have the desire to change
    5. Live one day at a time.
    6. Change your thought patterns
    7. Develop good habits
    8. Continually choose to have the right attitude

    If the above seem like common sense, then don't spend time/money on the book. 2.5 stars out of 5.

    This book was helpful as far as attitude insight goes. It is common sense writing. There are several suggestions on how to adjust your own attitude, and to see some insight into the attitudes of those around you in the workplace as well as in your personal life. I found it to be helpful.

    I probably would have appreciated the value of it more had I bought it to read myself, but I read it out of courtesy of the one who gave it to me. I did get something out it, so it wasn't a total loss. Maybe one day I'll read it again on my own terms, then who knows.
