Really enjoyed this book - definitely a page turner. Am excited to read the next in the series!
I liked the premise, that little things make a big difference, but I wasn't super fond of the style. it seemed to go all over the place. I guess I just didn't like it as much as I hoped I would, but it was still interesting.
a good book, but harder to get into and more dry than GTD. But I still got a lot out of it.
It was a pretty fascinating read, but I don't know if it was terribly useful. I was hoping it to be more instructional, which it isn't intended to be. But it was an interesting book.
A very interesting book on the experiences of how continued relentless practice made the author a master at his chosen endeavors. I wonder how many countless hours were spent learning chess and then later martial arts. bitter it's an interesting look at how genius is born, or rather made.
I thought it was a really good read. It really makes you realize how much of talent is plain old hard work and practice.
A book definitely worth reading for those with kids. Obviously the principles all remain the same in all of Dave Ramsey's books, but it's still interesting hearing it from a slightly different angle.
I thought this was a great book - it really makes you think about what's important and may change your approach to what you're doing in life. Could serve as a great wake up call. I've enjoyed all of Dan Miller's book, but this was surprisingly good to me. The different perspectives Dan and his son brought were interesting and there were a number of pages that I just had to highlight and put stickies in so I could come back to them again later. Would definitely recommend!
I really enjoyed this book and am putting in the practice of what it outlines. I'll have to give an update after a month or so and see if it has transformed my life! But after a few days I'm really enjoying my mornings this far!
I think it's a great book for married couples, but also very healthy and useful for better relationships with everyone. We are all different, and we express love differently (and need different things in order to feel loved). Love and Respect is a great book which makes you understand why you need to love, this is a great book on HOW to do it best. Every married couple should read without a doubt.
I think it's a great book with a lot of good ideas. It was a little different than I expected, in that it doesn't talk much about an actual diet plan, but more overall concepts and general plans. But this doesn't meant it's not worthwhile or anything like that. I will definitely incorporate the "essentials" into my daily living, as I definitely need to! :)
My son actually picked this out for me as A Christmas present out of the blue. He knew this is what he wanted to get me (he's 5). I think it's a great book, whether you are strong in your faith or having some doubts. It's a wonderful story well worth reading.
It's embarrassing how long it took me to get through this book, especially given the title! It shows I started about a month ago, but it really was a couple times before that where I'd check out the book and then never get around to actually reading it. But it does have a lot of good insight and ideas on how to stop procrastination. But just like any habit it takes time to get out of the habit of procrastinating - continuing to find ways to do things NOW, in every aspect of your life definitely helps. I think that making decisions to NOT do something can be powerful because otherwise it builds up the procrastination muscle - you're putting off the decision to do it or not do it. Just deciding one way or the other, even if it is deciding not to continue, is a great habit to instill in your life!
I thought it was really good and had some great techniques to remember. a lot the same as love and logic, but another approach is effective.
I thought the book was a great approach. If you're familiar with Dave Ramsey's teachings, it's not a huge departure or anything, however Rachel definitely has her own voice and style. But I think it's great timing against our culture. There is so much comparison going on between everyone, and especially with the rise of social media - and of course you only see one side of this. Everyone shows off their new stuff, vacations, etc, but you don't see any debt which may be piling in the background or any other downsides. She delves into these things, combining both her personal experience as well as referencing other works and studies. Overall it's just a great reminder of the need to keep the comparisons in check and to get serious in taking control of your own life, rather than the need to worry about how everyone else is doing.

It doesn't quite reach the level of other books such as Total Money Makeover, so I give 4 rather than 5 stars, but for those who are trying to get their financial life together, and especially those who struggle with comparisons to others (which includes all of us at one time or another), I would definitely recommend!

(I received an advance copy of the book in exchange for an honest review, but my opinion is my own...)
More like a series of reminders in a very short story. And while it is short, it has some great nuggets which serve as reminders as what you need to do every day in order to succeed. Nothing you didn't know before, but good reminders from a different approach nonetheless.
I honestly didn't love it - it was somewhat interesting, but I didn't feel like it kept to its point very well. It sort of meandered and talked in great detail about certain aspects of millionaires compared to aspiring wealthy. Such as cars, booze, etc. Maybe I was looking for something different. Stanley's first book was really great, but this just didn't add much in my opinion.
Be nice to yourself

The main thing I got out of this book is to remember to have grace with yourself. A little movement is better than none at all, and you don't have to be so rigid on what actually constitutes exercise. It was a good book, although it felt like it meandered a bit (though that could just be me.). I would recommend.
It's a fantastic book - one I probably will read more than once. It's really got me thinking on how I can get going and have the self discipline to really make some changes. I'm not sure how to describe it, but there were a couple chapters specifically which really hit home and not only served to wake me up, but to really push me towards making some specific changes in my life.

I believe it's a book well worth reading for anyone.
I didn't enjoy this nearly as much as the Millionaire next door. It just didn't feel complete - and didn't have a strong overriding theme. It was more like a bunch of facts put together into a volume. Not to say it was a bad book - it just didn't flow quite the same as other books in the category.
If you live out of Outlook, it’s great

It has great ideas, although I’ve gotten out of using outlook so much for holding this sort of stuff and have just moved onto online GTD systems at this point. Current favorite is GTDNext!
Some really good ideas

Not so much to the actual process of it, but a list of good ideas that you can incorporate into your daily life.
Good book with some good ideas

Not really super revolutionary, but a good action plan to go through when you are trying to learn something new. However if you’ve ever learned something you probably already know what works for you. So i think that one of the steps as the author mentions is to know the way you learn. I think if you get that one down, you’re most of the way there. The other steps are good ideas, but not necessarily the only way to learn something.
I wonderful book that every Christian should read. Most of us have some giant or another in our lives which threatens our ability to live the life we were meant to live. Don't let them threaten you another minute. God has a better plan!
It's a great book which lays out the steps to retire in a way that is not the way most people get to retire, but instead to retire inspired, on your own terms. Not groundbreaking for anyone who is familiar with the Dave Ramsey baby steps, but a good book that keeps you motivated on the last part of that journey after you get yourself out of debt.
