Summary: Audio Is King Feature Award Winner for 1997
Review: The audio version of this book is highly abridged from the original book. Despite this, it won the 1997 King Feature Syndicate 1997 Audio Book of the Year award, which was a pleasant surprise. I resisted the temptation to give the audiobook the secular-evangelist treatment that thrill-seekers enjoy with the idea that a reasoned, rational read would better communicate with people serious about learning techniques for self-motivation. I agree with the reviewwers who say it is not a shot of raw adrenaline into the temple, and those who wish to get a physical rush ala Tony Robbins are going to go home disappointed. For those who don't mind thinking a bit, the tape will be welcome. The book itself is much more comprehensive than the tape. It centers on the thinking tricks I used to change my own life and the lives of my clients. I had a history of huge cowardice and passivity for about 35 years until I saw some ways out. Those ways, over the years, became 100. Anyone can become a highly energetic, super-motivated person. ANYONE. There is no gene for the human spirit. If you can't afford the book I'll buy and send you one

Summary: A very pleasant tape.
Review: This audio tape was very pleasant. It contains some pretty good ideas. Some ideas that I found here, but nowhere else, yet. I will say, if you like the speaker's voice to be motivational all on its own, this is not the tape for you. The author's voice is pleasant at best. His words are motivational, his voice is not. Also, if you like your motivational tapes to have spiritual/religious references, this isn't the tape for you. There is only one reference to someone elses reference to God's angels. Overall, it is worth the eight bucks. Cheers.

Summary: Prodigious
Review: This book aswell as the audio versions, unleashed a a fire in me that I didn't even know I had. I cosidered myslef to be a very uninspiring person, I always thought pessimistically, and I had absolutely no yearn for anything. I was lazy, watched too much television, I couldn't even take out the trash it was that bad, my only inspiration to do anything was when it got out of control.
A friend reccomended I take a look, I knew I wasn't going anywhere, so I gave it a go. everything i came across was self improving. A couple of the points I like are the Lie to yourself idea, which is great. I do consider that I originally lied to myself in wanting to achieve my goaal, but after putting in the dedication, I now fully believe what I want to do and that I can do it. the second is the writing down of ideas, I do this every day, and I have come up with so many Ideas I don't know what to do with them all. The motivational techniques, forced me to break some of my greatest all time fears, Since i broke those fears, I felt invincible. No longer afraid to talk to others in a socal gathering. I have turned off the tv, and when I turn it on I can't see anything worth watching, Reading more books, taking up piano lessons, the list goes on. I recomend anyone with even the slightest pessimism to try this book, it will change your life forever

Summary: The title of this tape should be taken literally.
Review: This is a surprisingly effective tape. Unlike other motivational tapes, the listener is empowered, IF ATTENTIVE, to re-create motivation without leaning on some outside (and therefore unreliable) stimulus. Also unlike other motivational tapes this one is not an entertainment. Not that it isn't sometimes entertaining, it just isn't the equivalent of chewing gum for the mind while you're on the stairmaster.There's no superhyped voice trying to crank you up. My experience is that whatever motivation comes from the performances on those tapes evaporates quickly and and has to be readministered. Like a drug. What I didn't like about this tape was the slick and chirpy woman's voice to announce each chapter. It kept reminding me of the other kind of motivational product. Use this tape for what it says and not to pass the time

While based in simple principles stated succinctly it allows you to motivate yourself in the car on the way to work, at night before bed... anywhere ... any time. That repition and ease of listening starts making the "100 ways to motivate yourself" become ingrained at you start living them without making a consciencious effort.

Summary: Good Listen While Driving to work
Review: While their is nothing new or earth shattering here, he does remind you of certain things you can do that if followed through with, will help you. But just as in all things, their is no miracle words that will motivate you. It all comes from within. A choice has to be made and then another one and another until you are a motivated person. Many people tell you how to motivate yourself, but none of them are telling you anything you don't already know.

Its all a state of mind and this book is good in that it helps you to see that.
