Ratings and reviews

Favourite Quote : Elbert Hubbard defined self-discipline as “the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.”(Chapter 10) Favourite Chapter : Chapter 2 talks about doubling your productivity. The author introduces 3 questions that you should always ask yourself. My favourite question is "What is the most valuable use of my time right now?" This question is the key to time and personal management and should be asked as many times as possible in a day. Whatever the answer is, that is the one thing that should be done in that particular time. This method helps you to refocus on the task at hand and will limit time wasting on tasks that are unimportant. Who should read it : I recommend this book for everyone. Everyone has their own potential to grow and become better in ways unimagineable even to themselves. This book is about self improvement for everything under the sun as it discusses on self improvement such as work, family, health and even spiritual.

Very straight forward approach that builds as you go. This is book worth reading multiple times to gain the most from its wisdom.

Straight to the point advice and direction on how to improve every aspect of your life.
