Summary: Good News for Modern Man
Review: Les Brown is a great motivator. His writing style is easy to read and right to the point. Les has an interesting background, coming from poverty and literally pulling himself up by the bootstraps to achieve success as a state legislature, disc jockey, and motivational speaker/writer.
Les wraps each of his lessons into stories of actual people who have demonstrated the feasibility of his theories for success. His message throughout is to "take control of your life," and "say Yes to life." This book was written in 1992 but is timeless. His stories and lessons are not specific to any industry, business, or religious beliefs, and would be suitable for any reader--young adults included.

Summary: A very inspiring novel
Review: Live Your Dreams by Les Brown is a very inspiring book. Reading this novel has touched me a lot because it was written to motivate and help you reach your goals. The message is: "Whatever you dream about, follow it. Anything can happen in this world if you believe in yourself." One inspiring event in this novel was when he told us to follow our dreams regardless to whoever puts us down. Read this book and you'll really want to follow your dreams.

Summary: OK book
Review: Lots of catchy buzz words, maybe some interesting personal experiences, but not much how-to stuff here. Anyone looking for inspiration would be pretty much better off reading something by Zig Ziglar.

Summary: Les Brown Thank You For Your Direction
Review: Thank you Mr Brown. As an African-Caribbean woman I could relate to what your book is saying.Sometimes people don't understand that you 'just can't snap out of circumstances'. Only he who lives the life can be honest enough to then put his experiences into writing thus helping others who are 'too far gone'.I was one of those people but know I have become 'unstuck' and am living my life as it should be ....motivated and full.This book is one of the books that has HONESTLY changed my life.Thank you once again and I wish you would come back to my island Barbados to share your lifes work with us.I HIGHLY recommend this book ...a life changer ...guaranteed

Summary: "You Gotta Be Greedy!"
Review: The first chapter of this preachy book would more aptly be entitled "The Incredible Ego of Les Brown". Although the writing style is good, seldom in my experience has the obvious been stated so boastfully, as though it were a revelation.One wonders how anyone would benefit from Mr. Brown's self aggrandizing anecdotes, though they are mildly entertaining.

Summary: Give your life a boost!
Review: This is a great book for anyone who is feeling down or unmotivated and need a good boost. I've read many motivational books, this is probably the best one. Les Brown is not only a talented speaker but a very good writer as well. You won't be bored for a second while reading this book. What makes it an interesting read is that he always incorporate some of his personal stories with each lesson he preaches. Here are some memorable teachings I treasure: -Always set goals. For today. For this week. For this month. For 3 months. For this year. For 5 years... -The only thing that can really stop you from living your dreams is you. -Whatever you have done up to this point is a reflection of what you believe you deserve and what you believe is possible for your life. -People with limited visions of themselves can not possibly have a larger vision of you. -Don't operate on the basis of what you see. Operate on the basis of the possibilities you envisioned. I saved the best ones for last: -Rule #1: Don't sweat the small stuff, Rule #2: It is all small stuff -More important than anything else is the choice of our attitude. Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. -In the end, it is the person you become not the things you achieve, that is most important.
