I rebought this for my 30 something son, newly a entrepreneur . He's enjoying it immensely.

John Maxwell pens a challenge to organize information and strategically think in order to lead well in life. He posits that eleven principles will help create a new paradigm for thinking that parallels the thought filter of highly successful people. His eleven guiderails of thought are: 1) Big-Picture Thinking, 2) Focused Thinking, 3) Creative Thinking, 4) Realistic Thinking, 5) Strategic Thinking, 6) Possibility Thinking, 7) Reflective Thinking, 8) Questioning of Popular Thinking, 9) Participating in Shared Thinking, 10) Unselfish Thinking, and 11) Bottom-Line Thinking. This is an important read for every leader. I think anyone will enjoy the illustrations used to present the principles. For me, the illustration of Columbus sailing under the Flag of Isabella is incredible. Perhaps the motto change upon the flag best supports the mindset transformation that Maxwell is challenging his reader to. May we all move from “Ne Plus Ultra” to “Plus Ultra” as well.

Not only did I receive an incredible book but also received a book with a message from the previous owner to a friend. This inspirational note was at a time when I too am beginning my own new business. Doubly blessed. Thank you

Maxwell's premise is that successful people think differently than unsuccessful people. The book is organized in two major parts, part one is three chapters which presents the importance of thinking well. Part two of the book is laid out in eleven chapters each presenting a mode of thinking, including: 1. Acquire the wisdom of big-picture thinking; 2. Unleash the potential of focused thinking; 3. Discover the joy of creative thinking; 4. Recognize the importance of realistic thinking; 5. Release the power of strategic thinking; 6. Feel the energy of possibility thinking; 7. Embrace the lessons of reflective thinking; 8. Question the acceptance of popular thinking; 9. Encourage the participation of shared thinking; 10. Experience the satisfaction of unselfish thinking; 11. Enjoy the return of bottom-line thinking - am I staying focused on resultsList strengths of book.The book is easy to read. Maxwell uses many quotes, stories, and examples to help illustrate his points. I certainly agreed with Maxwell's premise that most people do not think very well. The brief exercises at the end of each chapter are helpful to make clear and simple application to the life of the reader.List weaknesses of book.I felt like the material that was presented was way more than anyone person could ever apply to their lives, however I believe if a reader could apply even a portion of the material it would certainly be helpful. I also felt like Maxwell gives the appearance that changing the way you think is an easy matter, while I believe it is a much more complicated process.

Dr. John Maxwell challenges that we see, think, and do things. Thinking is one of the most difficult things to do, so that why so few people do it. They delegate or worse yet don't do it, and wonder why they are not getting what they want or need. Maybe, just maybe,. . . they haven't thought about what they want or need so when LIFE get in the way of THEIR life, they wonder why.Read Thinking for a Change by Dr. Maxwell, to get some clarity in your thinking.William TehInvestor | Author | EntrepreneurTTTrends Investments

Thanks John for you continued mentorship and fine words of wisdom through these books. I loved it and will endeavor to put as much of it into practice as I can.

John Maxwell’s Thinking for A Change really encourages me to step out of the habits I’m in and believe change can come. It’s empowering because the change begins with something I already obtain...my brain. He tells lots of stories of successful people opening the door so we can see how they got to where they are.
