This person is really great to have researched such basic things and come out with this method. This can become the religion of the future.

i had big-time mixed feelings about this book. there was some massively helpful stuff (especially in the first 1/3 of the book), particularly the parts about mental models. i found several tools and exercises that will impact me. but other parts of the book were too "Buddhism veiled in positive thinking business language" for me. some parts i could swap out my own language and make them work, but others i just flat didn't agree with.

My only regret is that I don't get to hear his great booming voice.
It's really a great book & I couldn't recommend it any higher.

Sri Kumar Rao has simplified the successful tips and they are very easy to follow. The samrt guy will read this often and reinforce the principles until they become part of him. Good luck. Overall, one of the best self help books for a student or businessman!
