Brian Tracy is one of my all time favorite authors. Maximum Achievement was the first book I read in the self-development genre more than ten years ago. The book is packed with practical information and Tracy knows his human psychology. He answers questions like: What drives human beings? What motivates us? Why don't we take action on knowledge we already have?

The information on goal setting contained in the book can change your life, like it did mine. I have been an avid goal setter ever since I read the book, but also very spiritually inclined. Balancing the two is not as much of a problem as one might think in the beginning. Many authors pretend to have all the answers on different topics, but when it comes to success psychology and goal setting, Tracy really has all the answers.

If you are looking for answers to why some people succeed and why others don't - READ THIS BOOK!

I highly recommend this book. It is packed with a lot of good information and insights and is really uplifting, but on a very practical and pragmatic level. It doesn't give you a lot of BS or vague general platitudes, and does provide a lot of useful stuff in my opinion. And it covers a pretty broad range of topics, on how to be more effective. I keep it handy to refer back to and re-read.

If you even have an ounce of ambition in your body, you must read this book. It is so positive and inspiring, and completely changed the way that I see myself, others, and creating wealth. I'm reading it again just for fun.

I first read this book when I was 20. At the moment I was attending college but had some of the worst "luck" that anyone by my age had in terms of financial difficulty, health injuries, car problems, family dysfunctionality, the whole gamut. This book was a tremendous revelation in teaching me to take personal responsiblity for my actions and for the goals I wanted to achieve during my lifetime. What was most remarkable was that the way Mr. Tracy wrote about his situation and his mentality in his early 20s paralleled mine in so many ways - I knew I couldn't put the book down and upon completing the exercises I had established a precedent for great improvement in my life.

After returning to read this book three years later, I must say it is amazing how far I've come in improving my "luck" which comes with preparation and the right positive attitude. Despite the very difficult circumstances that many youth grow up in today, I know with the help of the principals in this book that it is possible to eliminate the "negatives" from one's environment and greatly boost one's lifetime accomplishments. I am well on my way and consider Brian Tracy to be one of the mentors who has helped me most out. Thanks for the wisdom.
