I read these reviews and bought the live CD as I have a lot of books and fancied listening to a live event for a change. I liked the guys style but after listening to the whole CD (including adverts at the end) I felt there was nothing much new or really anything you couldn't work out for yourself and where were the exercises?
I can sum up the whole talk up in a few points.
Don't just do things averagely or even really well - go the extra mile and do them brilliantly.
Do a lot right now and you will see a lot of results
Think positively not negatively.
Imagine and visualise yourself doing things brilliantly.
Don't do everything yourself - get a great team of experts working for you.
And that is it really. I am sure if you do those things it will be good for you, but I know that. If I pay for someone's expert advice I would expect a bit more than them being very up beat and telling me to be brilliant.
Make up your own mind how much you money you want to spend on getting that information.
Not greatly impressed.

i am quite awful when it comes to self help books: i have about 20 of them at home and this is the only one i have actually finished because i wanted to. It was easy to read, very enjoyable, just as listening to someone talk to you.
for the first time EVER i took a pen and got down to doing the exercises: the goal settings, the values, the brilliant me, I did them all.
I have fallen in love with this book and the fast pace in which it is written. Micheal Heppel encourages the reader to take responsibilty to BE brilliant, to look into their beliefs and to make things right for you again in a easy to handle accessible way. I still think very often ofsome passages in the book that really hit home, such as a good job is the minimum expected of me. or september 2001 was a good time to fly.
this book has really touched me and has worked for me: i am half way through me 90 days plan and already things have changed around me.
I thouroughly recommend this book to any body would would like to make themselves brilliant!!!

This is a brilliant little book. I felt that the author took ideas from Behavioural Therapy, Life Coaching and NLP and put them into bite size, happy, readable chunks. It really encouraged me to be brilliant, something I wasn't expecting. I guess he reminded me of the delight in doing things well, and the joy of just exceeding, for its own sake.
In the heart of the book, he talks about changing your values, belief systems, and re-looking at the evidence for the belief systems you created. All quite deep stuff, but presented very well and in a way I could understand. I've been coming across lots of stuff about personal responsibility and people saying that "we create our own lives and everything that happens is as a result of our own decisions, actions and beliefs" but this is the first book I read that really explained to me why. I liked it very much and I would recommend it to anyone on a quest to live a more productive and fulfilling life.
