There is nothing new here. Silly metaphors that would probably look good illustrated on a PowerPoint deck. An author who has achieved success and believes anyone can do the same, regardless of circumstance. A definition of success that, quite frankly, I’ve begun to find tedious and weak. That author expects to achieve a form of immortality through writing. This is not a book people will still be reading in the generations after he is gone.

A good book to start you on your journey towards your goals, nothing particularly new in the content but well presented and articulated.
I really didn’t like how he looks down on workers though (or how the people who inspired him looked down on workers. If you don’t go to college you’ll just end up working at McDonalds? Or the person who referred to his employees as replaceable monkeys? Sheesh!!)

Quick read. Good pick-me-up.
Extremely well written. This book provokes thought, encourages reflection and motivates. The author, although personally successful, sincerely seems to want to have a lasting positive legacy for future generations to benefit from.
Not much of a fan of self help but I loved how this was written and this has really made me want to just get out there and live life!
Matthew Michalewicz chooses a very interesting way of telling how our time on this planet earth is limited. If we consider the age of our universe a year long then relatively our life span would be of half a second. The book summarizes everything that a self-help book has to offer. What makes it different is the way the author puts it up. What is important here is how much from the book can we imbibe and incorporate in our daily life. Overall a quick nice read.
