Summary: Nice mix for the open minded
Review: a word of warning to those for whom a warning is in order.
this book is written by a christian pastor, who quotes
from the bible approximately every other page. i didn't
want this kind of book, and want to make it clear to people
out there like me, who aren't looking for subliminal
evangelism, that this book has a subtle tendency to proselytise.
None of the amazon reviewers made this clear enough,
I thought.

Summary: The best book ever written on changing your attitude
Review: I have read so many books, spiritual and otherwise on attitudes. But this is, by far, the best one I've ever read! I've read it three times, and everytime I read it, I seem to learn something new. It has changed my life completely. I can not recommend this book highly enough. And if you want to read another one of his fablous life-altering books....try Fail Forward....what a book!

Summary: Stay on topic, please
Review: I thought it was an excellent, concise view of the major influences on our attitude and of our attitude. However, when he starts to make a good point, he jumps to quoting the bible in some effort to make this self-improvement in a religious context. It's a LIFE context, and the bible stuff just gets off track. With the tape, you can tune out and enjoy the scenery until he starts talking conversationally again. I've heard better (such as Julie White's "The Psychology of Self-Esteem").

Summary: Nice mix for the open minded
Review: I'm a Christian. However, most books touching on Christianity really turn me off, mainly because some Christians come across as if their beliefs are the only right way to think. It's seems to me that Christianity is not the only game out there, and it certainly isn't the oldest. Isn't the goal to believe what Christ believed, and so act as He? Nuff said.Maxwell's book is terrific. Many authors tell how to have a great attitude, but Maxwell explains that we need more than just directions... We need guidance, and at times, we need help.
Maxwell reminds us that when we need help, there is a power greater than ourselves which can do for us what we can't do for ourselves. Yes, the book does contain Christian references. However, what is built upon that foundation is pure right thinking and common sense. My greatest challenge has been my thinking, and Maxwell provides a solution.

Summary: Attitude is Vital!
Review: Only an overcomer can write the kind of things John C. Maxwell writes. You can tell if a person has paid his dues and its evident Maxwell has. It's all a matter of focus. Maxwell says "A hardened attitude is a dreaded disease" and the way to overcome that is to focus on God's power and not the problem. Maxwell has a gift for putting truths into a fresh framework. For example consider what he says about one's life being affected by attitude, "Our attitude and action toward life help determine what happens to us." In other words, he's about to go into a discussion of self-fulfilling prophecy. He goes on to talk about how attitude affects relationships and other areas of life. He issues a challenge that I want to someday try myself. He says for the next week, treat every person you meet as the most important person on earth. Imagine the results! This book is packed with goodies. Maxwell's advice leads to living a quality life because it is solidly based on the teachings of Jesus Christ.
