This month's review:
The Power of Focus
by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen,
and Les Hewitt
The
creators of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" series, Jack
Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, have teamed up with top
performance coach Les Hewitt to create The Power of
Focus, a step-by-step guide to making your dreams become
reality and creating the life you want.
In order to get the most out of the
information in this book, one must first realize this: "Success
takes effort and consistent, focused activity." (quoted
directly from the book)
In a nutshell, that's essentially
what the book is all about, and it is only worth reading
if one understands and agrees with that statement. The
Power of Focus is not something to just read and then
think about, it is a set of instructions for doing
the things necessary to achieve your goals
Each chapter describes specific strategies
and techniques, along with motivating stories about real
people who have implemented and succeeded with those techniques.
At the end of the chapter is a set of Action Steps, which
condenses the strategies into an easy to follow instructional
format. In addition to a well laid action plan for success,
the book also provides loads of suggestions for additional
reading to help keep one motivated and continuously learning.
All in all, The Power of Focus is easy to read
and understand, and is quite motivational as well.
While the book seems to be geared
toward self-starters, business owners, entrepreneurs and
the like, there is something of value in it for everyone.
Most, if not all, of the techniques described in this book
could be used with respect to any goal, be it business,
financial, or personal. For someone who is stuck in any
aspect of life and not sure how to effect change, reading
and implementing the techniques defined in The Power
of Focus could definitely help.
