Improve yourself in this gym without breaking a sweat!,
By
This review is from: The Mind Gym: Wake Up Your Mind: Wake Your Mind Up (Hardcover)
This is the model for self-development books for the 21st Century. I have read many self-development books, to benefit personally and to support my work as a trainer and coach. Some have been based on academic research, others have been 'secret of my success' books. This one genuinely stands out. There is a solid underpinning of well-researched psychology, combined with dozens of practical tools and examples. The Mind Gym have taken the best, most useful theories and presented them in easy to understand ways, illustrating them with real-world examples from many of the participants at their 'Workout' training sessions. Some of the things this book can help you with: Develop a more take-charge attitude It's full of interesting self-assessments and you get access to their website for even more useful tools. There's just the right combination of interaction, anecdotes and explanation; and it's structured as a book you can dip into and get ideas straight away for any particular life challenge you face. All in all, a book that will make a difference - if you USE all the good stuff in it. For some further reading, have a look at '(Inner) FITness and the FIT Corporation' by Ben Fletcher, also about 'mental fitness'.

Worth the money, easily,
This review is from: The Mind Gym: Wake Up Your Mind: Wake Your Mind Up (Hardcover)
This is a very engagingly written, well designed book, which I would classify as "intelligent self-help". It also enables you to sign up to a web site, which contains some nifty self-assessment tools. The web site alone is worth the cover price of the book... and then some. The book itself is a refreshing take on questions like how to endow yourself with greater presence, how to manage stress, how to be better at influencing others, and how to be more creative. So why only four stars, rather than five? Essentially because most of what you will find here is common sense. That's not to say it isn't worth being reminded of it, but, as with any book offering to detox your mind or teach you new skills for dealing with people and situations, it rewards you for being balanced and sensible. That's good, but it isn't radical. Entering the Mind Gym is more like doing a good cardio workout than doing a sustained weights programme. In other words, the results aren't going to be astonishing. But they should be sustainable, and they are manageable. If you buy one book in this genre right now, this is the one to go for.

Food for thought...,

This review is from: The Mind Gym: Wake Up Your Mind: Wake Your Mind Up (Hardcover)
There seem to be two different types of people in this world.
On the one hand there are those who just seem to have ingenuity, creativity and presence and then there is everyone else. Although this book wouldn't magically turn the latter into the former, what it does do quite effectively is provide ideas that you can pore over in your own time. When you need to persuade someone to your side of an arguement, when you need to find a way to relax, when you need to make an impression... This book introduces you to a broad range of options which help you find methods and techniques that you might have forgotten existed. The writing style is easy to follow and broken down into short manageable chapters so it is easy to find your own pace. It also written by someone who clearly has a background in psychology (just look at the bibliography) because all of the advice is practical and considered, there are no attempts at offering the hollow inspiration that is so common in self-help books. In conclusion, if you are asking whether this book change your life or motivate you to new levels of success; the answer is "Probably not...". Alternatively if you are asking if it is simply a good read? If it will help you find new ideas about how to handle daily situations and possibly help you see how your skills fit into a team environment... You will find this to be a very handy book that you will almost certainly enjoy and might well find yourself revisiting in those moments when you just need some ideas.
