I accidentally grabbed this book, but boy was it an amazing read. Its only 125 pages and it truly changes your perspective in thinking. It took me about 2-3 days to read it fully, but if you are dedicated more onto this book it might even take you one.

There are 11 categories, those categories are..

1) Big picture thinking

2) Engaged and focused thinking

3) Harness creative thinking

4) Employ realistic thinking

5) Utilize strategic thinking

6) Explore possibility thinking

7) Learn from reflective thinking

8) Question popular thinking

9) Benefit from shared thinking

10) Practice unselfish thinking

11) Rely on bottom line thinking

John C. Maxwell emphasized that…

Everything you do will begin with thought, What we think determines who we are, and who we are determines what we do (an example is if we think negative we become negative and we wont achieve as much). Our thoughts determine our destiny, and our destiny determines our legacy. People who get to the top think different than others. And the idea that we can’t change the way we think.

After a month of reading this book, I noticed I have been taking more time to think about more abstract, creative, and deeper thoughts, than I would usually. I would also take time to think about different categories and subjects that I never thought were interesting.

I definitely recommend you to go to your nearest library or even book store to get this book.

How Successful People Think by John C. Maxwell is available to check out from the Mission Viejo Library. It is also available to download for free from Libby.
