A book to return to again and again
This highly practical book seeks to motivate readers to raise the quality of their personal and business lives. By focussing on - and changing - bad habits, setting ourselves goals, and identifying our true purpose, we can achieve success and fulfillment.

This is not a book to be read once and then shelved; there is just so much to absorb. Each of the 10 chapters describes an important life strategy, followed by an exercise to promote its implementation. Advice and anecdotes are plentiful. Perhaps not as readible as the "7 Habits...", but nevertheless a worthy complement to it.

Excellent about reaching your goals while living in balance
I am a businessman running a small computer company where I am facing a high workload and a lot of stress. I found this book a few years ago.
It gives a very thorough guide to how to get your life in the direction that you wish, while - what's really important - maintaining a balanced life. If you are a person with high ambitions, but feel that you do not have the time necessary to accomplish your goals, this book suggests a very simple daily checklist you can use to maintain the balance. It encourages you to develop clarity in what's important, to make a habit out of improving your habits, and suggests how you can develop your own inspiring guidelines. After reading the book, I have worked a lot to adapt the excellent ideas to my own life, and it has really been worth the effort!

Brilliant tool for understanding where you are at
This is a fabulous and enlightening book. Full of great exercises to complete as you read through the book which will help you to focus on where you are now and where you want to be. Without direction, we often head nowhere, this book helps you gain clarification of your intended destination and identify a map to get you there! I would recommend it for any self development bookshelf.
