    Synopsis

    The perfect, compact listen for today's fast-paced world, How Successful People Think (derived from Maxwell's previous book, Thinking for a Change) will teach listeners the 11 secrets successful people know. Arranged in an easy-to-follow format, America's leadership expert, John C. Maxwell, will teach listeners how to expand their thinking and achieve their dreams.

    The 11 keys to successful thinking include:
    Big-Picture Thinking - seeing the world beyond your own needs and how that leads to great ideas
    Focused Thinking - removing mental clutter and distractions to realize your full potential
    Creative Thinking - thinking in unique ways and making breakthroughs
    Shared Thinking - working with others to compound results
    Reflective Thinking - looking at the past to gain a better understanding of the future.

    Library Journal

    Leadership guru/best-selling author Maxwell (www.johnmaxwell.com) is a master at inspiring people to change the way they think. Here, he segments successful thinking types into several categories (e.g., focused, creative, strategic, reflective), illustrating each type and providing techniques for practice. Audiences will want to listen repeatedly to this short title, read capably by Chris Sorensen (Found). Fans of Maxwell's Thinking for a Change, from which this book derives, will especially enjoy; those new to his works will also be interested.—Gail Preslar, Eastman Chemical Co.

    September 23, 2009: I like the fact that this book doesn't take up too much space and...I guess it's true. Good things really do come in small packages.

    At first, there were a couple of chapters in which I thought the author was contradicting himself: (chapter 3: Harness Creative Thinking and chapter 4: Employ Realistic Thinking) but after reading the whole thing, I was able to see how it all fits together.

    Overall, there were many good ideas in the book; some of them we've heard before, but are definitely worth repeating. My two favorite parts were "Question Popular Thinking" and "Rely on Bottom-Line Thinking" and a nice "feature" to the book were the "Thinking Questions" at the end of each chapter.

    This books makes you see things differently.
