I can appreciate the content, but read like an unending infomercial for the author’s website and tools.

I was a little sceptical when starting this book. It was advertised as a free book with only the shipping needing to be paid. I took a chance and paid the $6 shipping and am really glad I did. The book is fantastic and provides some excellent insight into how high performers become that way and how they operate.
Burchard admits that he is not a psychologist but all his content is based on research and first-hand experience. The book is packed with practices that one can take away and put into play. The only challenge is that because there is so much, the book needs a second read in order to condense the recommendations and put them into practice.

Read this for my mentorship circle book club. It's interesting, and breaks down common but difficult-to-embody ideas (like confidence) into action steps. Fairly 90s self-help, rah-rah, you can do ANYTHING tone.
betterme's review against another edition
I just finished this book and it is filled with great ideas and exercises that I’ll use. This is the third book I’ve read by Burchard. I listen to his podcast and have completed some of his online courses. I was prepared to give this at least 4 stars until I neared the end of the book. Throughout the book he quotes people like Abraham Lincoln and Socrates, but also Bob Marley and Amy Poehler. Then, as I read page 321 I was shocked to see he quoted James Dobson. Dobson is the founder of Focus on the Family and has ling advocated for discrimination against LGBTQ people including actively promoting methods to “cure them”. This has been called dangerous and harmful by both the American Psychological Association and the American Medical Association. I’m very disappointed to see a quote from this man in a book by Burchard.

One of the best personal Development books I have read. Brendon’s approach makes you truly reflect at the end of each section and think about what high performance means for your own life. Highly recommend.

I found this book to be an interesting mix of how I think and a realization that others do not always think that way. I felt at first read that it was overly simplistic but I appreciated that at the end he does address problems that I felt are important to address.
