4.0 out of 5 stars Focusses on personal success, learning from past and being open to possibilities Mar 26 2010
By Alison Cummings
Format:Hardcover
Am just starting, but already like the writer's style and approach. I like anything that encourages out-of-the-box thinking and creativity. Don't be fooled - or put off - by the use of "successful" in the title. The focus is on personal success in overcoming limitations, learning from the past and being open to possibilities. And it is a tidy little book, perfect for the bedside table or public transit commute.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good... But Feb 2 2013
By David
Format:Hardcover
Good book but not some of Maxwell's best work. I highly suggest "15 Invaluable Laws of Growth" instead of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Little Book By Maxwell Jun 26 2009
By Michael Taylor - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
"How Successful People Think" by John Maxwell is a great little book and a timely read, particularly in a day where media and others encourage us to follow our feelings almost to the exclusion of thinking.

The book covers thinking in several areas:

1. Focused thinking.
2. Creative thinking.
3. Realistic thinking.
4. Strategic thinking.
5. Possibility thinking.
6. Reflective thinking.
7. Question Popular Thinking.
8. Shared thinking.
9. Unselfish thinking (get outside yourself!).
10. Bottom-Line thinking.

Each chapter is around 10 pages and usually contains the following that applies to the area of thinking being discussed:

1. Sayings by famous people.
2. Benefits of the particular type of thinking.
3. Principles to apply to improve your thinking in that area.

This is not one of those "touchy-feely" books designed to make you feel good about yourself. If that is what you are looking for, then do not bother to read.

Instead, if you want to improve your thinking in any of several areas, then this book is for you. The narrative flows freely and contains great information to inspire and challenge you.

Read, enjoy, and be challenged. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars You must out think your competition April 4 2011
By Skip Freeman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
In today's competitive global marketplace, to win we must outwit, out maneuver and out think the competition. The world changes daily and new thinking is critical to success in both one's personal and professional life. Dr. Maxwell reminds us of a statement made by Albert Einstein, "Thinking is hard work; that's why so few do it."

What Dr. Maxwell does is show us how to make successful critical thinking a daily habit. That, of course, isn't going to happen just by reading this book. It is going to happen because one uses this book daily as a "hand book." It is the right size to easily keep with you in your computer case, keep on your desk and to grab and thumb through revisiting ideas and points on a consistent basis.

I bought a copy for every member of my team. We have been going over a chapter a week in our sales meetings. I recommend it for all sales professionals, managers, entrepreneurs...anyone who wants to up their game!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple and amazing Jun 23 2011
By Kumaran - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have read a good number of books by John C Maxwell. I feel this is the best book to start with if you are planning to follow Maxwell's book. The case study in each chapter is mind blowing. The exercises are very simple and intuitive. I enjoyed reading each and every page of this book. This book is very simple and comprehensive for even people who are not in leadership position. Great job by Maxwell.
