Maximum Achievement: Strategies and Skills that Will Unlock Your Hidden Powers to Succeed (Fireside Book) Paperback – 19 May 1995

I bought this book at the beginning of 2014. I knew that I had to get my life "back on the rails" and did not have a clue where to begin.In essence this book is how Brian Tracy built his own success and he offers you insights into a number of let's say "unwritten rules". When you read them you will recognise them. By just reading the first few chapters, I began to realise who I was at that point in time and why my life seemed to be going out of control.Not long after my life did go off the rails when my wife told me she wanted to leave me. A few days later I went to see my brother and had the chance to the weeks events behind me, then came the journey back and having to face reality. the book has a poem called "The Golden Gate" by Emmet Fox in the back. This poem and the adjoining text got me through the first few months of separation with my "ex-wife". It also gave me the motivation along with "Non Violent Communication" to get to the bottom of the reasons why my wife left me. I am a stronger, positive, more confident person on way to achieving "Awesomeness" in no small part down to the wise words in this book.

I couldn't agree more with an earlier reviewer - Safe-Trade - I also own and have read countless Self Help titles on achievement, success and self-Development, and I can honestly say that this is the one book that covers all that you need to know in how to achieve what you want in life. No other book seems to come close - not even Tony Robbins. This book covers a lot of metaphysical stuff, of which I have found difficult to understand in other books, but this one explains the laws very clearly, and gives examples of them in use.This is a quite a long book, but it covers pretty much everything that you need to know in getting and achieveing what you want in life - you could call it "The Life Manual"I would strongly recommend this book, if you feel stuck in a rut in your life, whether at work or in your personal relationships and don't know what to do, this book will give you the clarity to move forward and achieve what you really want - as he rightly says -"You are responsible" for everything that happens to you!I intend to read this book over and over again, until every little detail is ingrained in my mind. Enjoy!

This book explains exactly how to achieve the most out of your life. It is based on fundamental laws of psychology but is very easy to read. It should be read by all children so should be a set book in all schools and should be re-read every year, maybe during their summer holidays! It should also be read by all students and adults to keep them on track as it is exceptionally motivational. There are exercises to do which are essential. A fantastic book. I bought one and then gave it to my son who doesn't want to give it back; I missed it so much I bought another for myself.

One of the best self help books i have ever read, and i have read plenty of books in this space. This is a must read it literally teaches you everything you need to live a life full of greatness. He goes into depth on every subject and with great understanding, he also talks clearly about what could be sabotaging your success and how to get rid of the block, he also talks about how to raise kids the right way which is suuuper valuable as it made me realize what problems i had because of my upbringing and how to get rid of them. If i was to recommend one book to anyone it would be this one 100%.

This is an excellent book. I have been reading the likes of these books the last few years without any major progress mainly because of information overload. But this book helps you get a clear concise plan for getting to where you want to be. It can be a tough read at times because it gets you thinking about any negative patterns that may be holding you back and challenges them. You have to be prepared to let them go.All in all it's a great read and I would highly recommend it to anybody but particularly ambitious people who know exactly what they want but just are slightly confused on how to get it.

Best book for personal development. You only need to read this and take action on what is advised and you will be successful in life. I know because when I first read this I was in a dead end job working 12 hours (including travel) 5 days a week and looked forward only to weekends and holidays and then would have that dreaded Sunday feeling when you knew you had work the next day.Well now I earn more, I go to my office 3 days a week, for around 2-3 hours each day. I have 2 businesses and a property portfolio. Is it easy? Hell no. Is it a worth it? Of course.I recognised what was important in MY life and took action. Worked hard (although I love what I do so doesn’t seem like work sometimes) and took risks. You need to take risks to progress.It all started from this book, which I have reread 3 times since and STILL learn from it.You MUST buy this.Ps. Meeting Brian in London this month! :)

I was ready to give this book a slating after I read the first few chapters of this book; it appeared to be yet another book about the law of attraction. However, as soon as I got to page 127, the book really took off and the author has gone all out to create a very comprehensive book, rammed full of advice and information. Although like a lot of similar books of this genre, it is based mostly on opinion and experience rather than scientific study, I really had the impression that the author, Brian Tracy, genuinely wants to help people improve their lives. This is a book which just gets better and better as you read through it, and, by the end of the book, it becomes quite clear that it easily deserves a five star rating.
