General Description

A book consisting of twenty-one principles (advice) given by Brian Tracy. The material of the book is presented purely as text content. At the end of each advice there is a summary in the form of a few sentences. These same pieces of advice are duplicated in a very brief summary at the conclusion of the book. Reading difficulty is easy, can be read in a few evenings.

Opinion

A very small, but at the same time very cool book that will tell you how to level yourself up. The book is about how to achieve set goals at work and in personal life, how to properly approach and tackle unpleasant and complex tasks, to do planning and about some other interesting facts and observations. And although my summary takes up only 2 pages, on them is very important material for me, which I reread with pleasure every time.
