The best personal development book I have ever read
Just buy it, read it and do it. This has got to be the best book of this kind ever, I can't rate it highly enough. Here's why..

1) It's an easy read. Who wants to read pages complicated small text with long winded theories when you can go straight to the point.
2) It makes you do it. I don't know how Michael Heppell does it but I felt compelled to `test' (not try!) every idea.
3) It's fun. I smiled all the way through.
4) It inspired me. I loved the stories in the back of the second edition sharing the successes of those that read the first one.
5) Michael Heppell takes classic personal development (in there because it works) and brings it right up to date and gives techniques to make real in the 2000's. I loved that.

Yes, I am Heppell fan. Yes, I am an enthusiast for this book. And yes, I am well on the way to being Brilliant!

How to be and still be Brilliant
I saw this book by reading a review from someone else. I had identified in my life I needed to change my behaviours because I wasnt getting on with people the way I wanted to. My life had no direction..... you know the sort of thing I mean cos if you're reading this you are probably doing the same thing, looking for a change.

Now I had listened to Tony Robbins, and thought "OK, but a little too in your face" but then he is trying to motivate me, and thats how he does it. This book, "How To Be Brilliant" is written by one of us Brits, and even though he probably uses the same energy levels in motivation, for me it was less sickly.

Now, what I liked about this book is that it told me what I wanted to hear, even the bad stuff, the negative stuff. It will work for anyone who understands what the book is about, understands themselves and have some degree of motivation to do something. There is nothing in the book that is difficult, in fact he goes out of his way to make you find easy ways of doing things. The best bit for me is that the changes you make are subtle. By that I mean you do a little thing and see the results, and as you progress you do a little more and so on. I cant stand thos people who do something new, and immediatly want to convert everyone they know or meet there and then! You know the types, the ones that go away for a weekend on a seminar, and come back full of ideas and drive on the monday morning, but by the next Monday its all gone again. That wont happen if you understand what you need to do, and you will by reading this book.

I recommend you read it through once, then go back again, and this time do the exercises, written and mental, and you will be comfortable with yourself for doing so, and you will have a better understanding of what you want to achieve, and how you are going to achieve it. It's not an overnight fix, you do need to apply something of yourself. You will come to undertstand this phrase "No Weeds, No Weeds".

It really is brilliant!
I'd throughly recommend this cd to anybody that wants to get more out of life. It is funny and entertaining whilst at the same time very informative and will help you shatter those nasty, insidious self limiting beliefs that so many of us tend to carry round with us and that hold us back in life.

As a life coach I have dozens of these types of cds and can say that this is without doubt one of my favorites and one that I never tire of listening to. I would recommend it to my clients but fear I would never see them again if I did ;-)
