5.0 out of 5 stars A permanent place in my library Aug 4 2007
By Daniel Armishaw
Format:Hardcover
Downsizing as I approach 60 means culling those many books that promise much but deliver little, and very few books are more assured of a home in my library than this one. I was initially put off by the emphasis on selfishness in the first chapter, but I persevered long enough to learn how essential that strategy is becoming a blessing to others. By developing a "supereserve" I can readily serve others rather than just wish good things for them. I have read this book many times since I purchased it more than 10 years ago and I can look back and identify very clearly the benefits I have received from applying just a portion of his advice. This is definitely a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thomas Leonard is not for everyone, but... Nov 19 2003
By Michael Chiodi
Format:Hardcover
If you can get through the first chapter on "selfishness," this book really does have a lot to offer. Using charged words like "become incredibly selfish" and absolutes like "tolerate nothing" was an integral part of Leonard's in-your-face, we-don't-have-time-for-you-not-to-get-this style. So many of us in the professional coaching industry have been touched by Leonard. We owe him a big debt of gratitude for making the profession of "coaching" the big opportunity it is for us today. This book is a good legacy to the man, as well as to what he thought was important for us to understand in our lives and in the lives of our clients.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference Tool After First Read Through Oct 4 2003
By Julie Jordan Scott
Format:Hardcover
I first bought this book three years ago at a Coaching Tour stop in Denver. The late Thomas Leonard signed my copy, making it a treasure in more ways than one.

The primary way it is a treasure is that it is exceptionally useful both as a personal growth tool and also as a book to work through with the folks who I am privileged to coach. The writing is conversational and not filled with jargon.

It is destined to be a classic, even moreso with the untimely, way to early death of the author.
