Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the other negative reviews here. I run several business and I've read tons of management, economic, and general business books. Anything that will help my business. I've read the beginning part of this book and it's a regurgitation of other people's ideas. This obviously happens a lot in the self-help book industry. But, what's worse is that this author doesn't seem to truly grasp the concepts as well - they are slightly off. In other words, when he presents the ideas in this book, the explanation of the ideas and how the ideas are applied in real life are not exactly correct. And, this can be dangerous for you if you misapply the concepts to your life/business. (This author's sole business experience apparently lies in sales. And, if you don't know this but salespeople are notoriously short in experience in other areas of business.) Additionally, much of the concepts he explains lack impact. Let me give you an example. One concept he espouses is that you should always work the hardest on improving yourself. This is very true and something that many business people learn early on. However, the bigger problem is how do you do this? This author gives no framework on how to do this. Do you simply read these types of books? Do you get a mentor? Of course, it's not an simple, easy answer but this author gives zero guidance. I think readers must realize that many of these self-help authors started in the sales industry. They are very good talkers and that's how they initially made their money and that's how they are making their money now. Morever, these books are not the endgame but they are used to establish credibility so that they can sell their courses or speeches which is the money machine. In my humble opinion, it's glaringly obvious to me that this is what this author is doing. You notice right away that he's shamelessly collecting popular ideas in other books and representing them to you to establish his credibility. In the hopes that you will join his network of entrepreneurs that coincidentally requires payment. If this author simply summarized the great ideas in other books, then it might be ok to buy this. But, the summary and application of these ideas are off so I would look elsewhere. Not only will you save the cost of this book but also your valuable time which is the most precious of all.
