Summary: Better Yourself through applying this book to your life!
Review: 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself is definitely one of the better self-help / leadership books I have read. The one part of this book that is quite unique is that Chandler often starts with a quote, then he presents an typical example and finally tells a brief short story. I find this to be quite refreshing in these types of books as Chandler covered a wide array of topics from taking action, looking at things from a different angle, using your imagination, setting goals, turning off your TV, relationships, etc.

I believe the key ingredient in getting long-term value out of this book is to highlight the quotes/stories you love and integrate them into your daily life. Practice what you read if it ties in with your values. Hope this helps everyone.

Summary: Inner-Directed Initiative
Review: Agreeing with most (if not all) of Chandler's suggestions accomplishes nothing unless and until you act upon whichever of his suggestions are most appropriate to your own specific circumstances. A great deal of nonsense has already been expressed on the subject of leaders motivating others. The greatest leaders throughout history do indeed demonstrate the power to inspire others but, I have become convinced, only an individual can motivate herself or himself. Chandler offers 100 quite specific suggestions, each accompanied by no-nonsense comments. I agree with him that attitudes often determine our behavior, including the choices we make. "In our on-going creation of who we are, nothing has a greater impact on the process than the choice we make between optimism and pessimism." He continues: "There are no optimistic or pessimistic personalities, there are only single, individual choices for optimistic or pessimistic thought." If you have problems with your own motivation and/or associate with others who have that problem, I strongly encourage you to read this book. Then, if you share my high opinion of it, I urge you to check out Chandler's other books including the recently published 17 Lies That Set You Back & the Truth That Will Set you Free.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great addition to your motivational library!
Review: As other reviews have indicated, some repetition of well known ideas; however, author does a good job in brining personal experiences into play to dig deeper and more practically into these ideas. Very easy read and well worth the time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great addition to your motivational library!
Review: As these books go this one is quite good. After reading it through once it's the type of book that you can dip into for a quick pick-me-up. There is just enough original thought to make it interesting and reinforcement of stuff we already know but never seem to remember. I liked it.

Summary: This book is amazing!
Review: Bought the book first, then the tape and cd. You don't get it the first time, but it does sink in after a while. I think that it shoots out to much information abruptly to get the first time, but I am glad that it did. It is great while doing something mindless and boring, like exercising, driving or even household chores and my impression is that some very helpfull theories could possibly sink in to your sub-conscious. They have in my case, and I would recomend this tape to anybody wanting to grow. I also bought reinventing yourself (tape) and got even better results from that.
The book and tape makes it clear that in general our society is comfort obsessed and easily led by mind controling advertising instead of creating our own line of thinking. It also makes a point that worry is a misuse of the imagination, and that doing something we fear (dare-devil) is a great way to motivate ourselves.
Even thought some say that the tape is delivered in a slow tone of speach, it still is very effective if listened to repetitively as a pep talk (if one knows how to listen).

Summary: Wake Me When It's Over!!
Review: Enticed by the title, I bought this audio to help me out of the slump I've been in. While there are some good suggestions, this guy is BORING! One of his suggestions to motivate yourself is to do 2 things that you dislike doing everyday--I guess so that you will enjoy the things you do like even more. It was this thought that motivated me to get through to the end of this tape

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A terrific book for instant encouragment
Review: Finally, a good motivational book that replaces the old-style hype with down-to-earth, practical ideas. This book is easy to read, whether you are very busy or just plain too discouraged to tackle a whole book. You can open the book at any place whenever you have a moment, and in less than 5 minutes you'll get a quick, instant burst of encouragement. If you've read or tried to put into practice many motivational books with minimal long-term results, you will really appreciate this one. As the author notes, the ideas he shares are among those which enabled him to rediscover himself. A sure breath of fresh air from those books written by others who have never really "been there, done that." This book, along with a dash of desire, might just help you, too. It's fun to read, and easy to relate to!
