Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success: Discovering Your Gift and the Way to Life's Riches

This book is brilliant my husband and I started it a while back and it opened our eyes to so much I would recommend this book to anyone especially a high-school it will prepare them for the real world

This book is awesome!! I purchased this book on audio because I don't have much time to sit and read.. I really wanted to read this book, because I love reading and liked the title. So I just purchased the audio book to listen to as I Commute, and what a powerful commute to and from did I have!I wanted to read this book because I am in a job that I feel has come to the end of the road for me, no advancement opportunities, all the perks and flex time taken away.. I knew it was and is time for a change. This book confirmed my thoughts, and feelings, and gave me more push and confidence to continue planning my exit strategy. This book helped me to see that I was on track with my plans, attitude, and perception for how I see the current job and my future. I did not react to the changes made on and with the job, I participated in them while staying focused on my vision board, and future. I made the decision to make the best of where I was while planning, where I was going as I worked my plan. I knew better days were on the way.. I started to live them instead of waiting, I started acting as and living as it was and is already done!!I get up every morning with the mindset of my new job, business etc. I took a picture of my vision board and have my vision board on my phone. I also have a digital vision board on my phone as the screen and make sure I continue to pull the picture up daily to see my future. I put the job that I am seeking and where I want to go on my vision board. I am planting my field.I will listen to this book again, and I have even placed an order for the hard copy so that I can make notes. I also like how the book shows you and tells you how to deal with negative things and people. We get caught up in responding to the negative when we should just keep going and not entertain the negative, the haters etc. This book is priceless, as it also talks about organization, your health is your wealth, budget, etc. Mr. Harvey even shows you his schedule. Lots of great insight and examples to help you win in life.You will not be disappointed with this book, in fact you will be inspired!! Another great book that I read, was Fervent A woman's battle plan for serious, specific, and strategic prayer by Priscilla Shirer also a great read with great insights!!Don't wait another minute get this book and set your success in action!!!!

Book Review:Title: Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success: Discovering Your Gift and the Way to Life's RichesAuthor: Steve Harvey with Jeffrey JohnsonPages: 240Publisher: HarperCollinsDate of Publication: September 9, 2014Source: PublisherThe title "Act Like a Success, Think Like a Success" is clearly related to the subject matter. Steve Harvey is well-known for his comedy and has moved to the top of his game as a media mogul with not one but two bestsellers on the New York Times book lists, a syndicated radio show and two current running television shows.The purpose of the book is educational, instructional, and motivational in the principles and techniques of life successes.This is a powerful and easy to read book targeted to both men and women, especially those who desire to break free from their current station in life and to elevate their game. This was a purposeful deviation from his previous two works; "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" and "Straight Talk, No Chaser," books that were targeted primarily for women.This is definitely a "come-up story" for both genders with analogies that I could easily relate to and information that I have incorporated into my own game plan. The writers style is simple and yet persuasive.The book is easy to read; I read it on a flight to the West Coast. "It is well organized into three parts with catchy subtitles such as "Put your name on the lease." The author hit the bull's-eye by exploring and clearly explaining the principles of success. While many community leaders are still pondering how to address our financial problems, Steve Harvey has made it to the top and leads the way in reaching the masses way down the socio-economic ladder as well as those of us at the middle still making our climb upwards. He really spoke to me and provided some keen insight. First, that my profession as a psychiatrist is an acquired skill and talent, but not my unique God-given gift. Secondly, even though I can make a good living with my skill and talent; it is not the same as using my unique gift. And lastly, once identified and attached to the right vehicle I can use my unique gift to elevate not only myself and my immediate family but my whole community.The possibilities for this book are endless, if studied, and embraced, it could change the downward trend in America where many have become permanently displaced near the bottom.In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to those who are looking for answers on how to move up the ladder and to find purpose in life.Alvin D.

Steve Harvey is a great man, with a lot to give the world. This book has given me gems and pearls that will support me throughout the rest of my life. He is wise beyond words and deserves every success that life gives him. He has not only earned his past successes but, thanks to the recent Miss World bleep, i am sure that he will have to EARN everything that he continues to get. Regardless, it will just provide more "real world" fodder for his next book (which i will be first in the queue to buy). If you're reading this Steve… Chin up my friend… you're still (and always will be) AWESOME!!A job well done… this book is your legacy x

At first I thought it was a motivational book until I came across youtube videos of Steve Harvey reading extracts from the book. I bought it the next day. Some of the content is motivational fluff but the rest of it are engaging insights into the life and trials of Steve Harvey and practical steps on how to amplify and exploit your gifts. I enjoyed the writing style as well as it makes for an easy read and this is coming from someone who is not an avid book reader. This is not a book about a comic or one of America's great comedians but it is a practical book about changing your life with your gifts.Definitely worth a read.

This book is incredible. A real must for anyone. If you're 19 and you need to know what your gift is, buy this book. If you're 31 and lost your way, buy this book. If you're 53 and need a new lease of life, buy this book. You honestly won't regret it.

Most books that talk about finding your gift usually end up with a lot of theory and very little practical help, well this is different. What Steve has done with this book is distil, in practical steps, how to ask yourself the right questions to uncover the gift in you. Great book.

very good all round book on self motivation and helps bring awareness to those wanting a better life for themselves, shows examples of how Steve managed to break out of his comfort zone to seek a better life and what he has learnt along the wayi recommend
