February 10, 2009: It is something all of us already know - common sense. The reason I liked it is because sometimes all of us need a reminder to act! Yes, we know all this stuff, yet, we aren't realizing that it's so; therefore not acting. But I would say if you need help with motivation - read it! It's simply helping you realize why you aren't acting and what you need to do to act. Helps you understand what's important to you and what is not.

January 27, 2007: This book's strong point is that it is based completely on information from peer-reviewed journals and controlled trials. In under 100 pages, most people will likely gain the necessary tools they need to motivate themselves or others. Additionally, a helpful worksheet is included that sums up the book's principles and guides the reader through the motivational process. One note though. Readers who zip through the book and don't bother to honestly reflect on the questions at the end of the book will probably NOT get much from it.
