Basic motivational thoughts - possibly life-changing
This book is one in a long series of books showing people how much the way they handle life, rather than what life throws at them, determines their success and - dare I say it - happiness.This is one of life's tough lessons and most of us - myself included - continuously need to be reminded of it in order to muster the necessary self-discipline to keep in line with positive thinking.
As such, the book is well-written. It relies heavily on the author's own experiences, which lends credibility, but here and there is somewhat overdone. Personally, I somewhat sensed a lack of sophistication. This is probably partially due to all of the easy-to-remember lists of "3 P's", five qualities, 10 tools etc. There seemed to be very little padding between such lists. The scene where a pickles-salesman offers pickles to everybody on the plane and furthes demonstrates his tremendous attitude by stating "I love pickles" to me appeared Pythonesque.
Then again- if one of these lists really changes the way you get a grip on your life, this will be the most important you'll ever buy.

Great book, Great Title
Mr. Harrell has done a phenomenal job of writing a motivational book tha also has substance. As an 11 year futures and options professional,author, and investor, I have to be constantly in control of my attitude and how it affects the markets I am trading. His writing style is clear and fast paced. You will not find yourself disappointed if you bought this book. I only wish that he had delved deeper into his own past and made us more empathetic. Mind you, he does give examples of his personal life and how they apply to his 10 life changing steps, but some level of connection is missing between the author and reader. Overall great book and well worth the money.

My Attitude is Great About This Book
I heard Keith Harrell speak at a sales meeting in January and immediately bought his book. Keith is the real deal. He weaves stories about his life into the principles he reveals about how much our attitude effects our lives and the lives of those around us. He obviously has a relationship with God, and he uses that relationship as the foundation stone for his belief system. I highly recommend this book for adults and teenagers alike. Similar Products
