Very mediocre form of storytelling. It seems like the author is saying the same thing in different ways in every chapter. The book seemed to be a bit longer than what was necessary.

Read some of the most inspiring stories and quotes in this book, like -
Thanks, David Schwartz for enriching me.
1. Without firm, unwavering belief that man can travel in space, our scientists would not have the courage, interest, and enthusiasm to proceed.
2. Excusitis is a disease born from wrong choices. At first, you may know that you are just lying to yourself. But a lie repeated over and over becomes an inner truth. In the end, you are one with your own lie and strongly believe that this defines you. Finally, you may conclude that the success is just a fairy tale written for somebody else.
3. The more respect you have for yourself, the more respect others will have for you.
4. The kind of mind food we consume determines our habits, attitudes, personality.
And so on...
Thanks, David Schwartz for enriching me.

I would really advice everyone to read this book atleast once. It influences the way we think and act. It helps us to improve our lifestyle and behaviour. Really useful tips explained in the simplest manner possible.

A good and easy read with principles that are not time-bound and last an entire lifetime. Obviously, it is Americanised in many ways, and often takes efforts to relate to many stories of a typical American life. It contains lots of examples and stories to establish the point. However, I feel that rather than giving a bunch of examples, it may do the task by putting one solid example.
The book talks about "Do this, do that". Often, it feels too much unclear and overly promising dramatic. As if the author thinks that doing anything is just as easy as it sounds.
One-liner summary: A good read for a beginner to learn about life, however for depth lovers, it could be shortened or made a bit dense.
Fun fact: The book travelled with me and I read it in two countries: Germany and Denmark.

This book is still relevant after all these years. Success principles are also universal, so it's hard to overstate how much Schwartz reveals to is readers--even in the 21st century. It's an easy read, but it's powerful. I often found myself stopping after a few paragraphs to examine my habits or daily routines to see where I need to make adjustment. This is my second time reading this book.
