Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Irrespective of intelligence, skills, education or luck, claims Ringer ( Looking Out for #1 ), the faithful practice of specific, simple "habits" will assure success in one's chosen field, preferably a job that is both financially rewarding and personally meaningful. The term "habit," however, is misleading as Ringer uses it, e.g., "the Action Habit," to embrace discussions of human relations, morality, efficiency, self-discipline, etc. This self-help book, while breezily written and offered in authoritative in tone, tends to present the obvious and commonsensical as new concepts. Many of the illustrative anecdotes demonstrate the author's own percipience and sense of priorities. 150,000 first printing; author tour.

Ringer's Best,
By Mr. Tickle Snort "Mr. Ticklesnort" (Houma, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Million Dollar Habits (Mass Market Paperback)
I love all of Ringer's books, but this is his best. Much of his previous books were an offshoot of Ayn Rand's objectivist ethics, an attractive, but not always viable worldview. Ringer seemed to have written this book as an addendum to his previous works, when he was a hard-core Ayn Rand disciple. In Million Dollar Habits, he admits that Ayn Rand is great stuff- for people who live on a planet of Howard Roarks and Dagney Taggerts. Million Dollar Habits isn't for people who live on that planet- it's for the people of planet earth! In this book, he takes a more flexible, positive world view. The advice here is much more practical a real-world. Those who found Ringer's previous works good but impracticle should read this.

Making success a habit,
By
This review is from: Million Dollar Habits (Mass Market Paperback)
Million Dollar Habits - in this book, Ringer focuses on the importance of practicing habits that lead to success:1. The importance of accepting reality in life 2. How your attitude determines your achievements in life 3. Keeping perspective in life - how you can profit from negative things that happen to you in life 4. Focusing on today - Voltaire: "Do not anxiously expect that which has not yet come, do not vainly regret that which has passed." 5. The necessity of moral values in business. 6. People - the link between human relations and success. 7. Self-discipline and preparation - the hero is not impulsive, he prepares. 8. Action - the only way to achieve goals.
