4.0 out of 5 stars This stuff really works, 11 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tao of Motivation: Inspire Yourself and Others (Paperback)
It helps you break out of the vicious circle we all fall into at some point. That circle has four steps: lack of confidence (1), leading to hesitation (2), then mediocre results (3), then poor feedback from yourself or from others (4), leading back to further lack of confidence (1). It really helped me to motivate my assistant, as well as myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical but fun, 9 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tao of Motivation: Inspire Yourself and Others (Paperback)
Picked this up at Heathrow, and finished it as I landed in Madrid. The storyline (and cartoons) keep you interested, and the techniques do work - at least for me! The combination of fiction and instruction works very well

1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time..., 15 Jul 2005
This book is really poor!

The Tao of coaching (same author) is really great and I was expecting another interesting book. However this one feels like an empty shell with long and painful explanations of very simple and arguable concepts that are nothing more than persuading yourself you are already motivated. And you will need a lot of motivation to read the entire book!

The very few interesting ideas were already described (in a better way) in his previous book. My advise is that this book is not worth reading, and especially if you have already read his other book: the Tao of coaching.

It's crazy that managers get no training in 'what makes people tick'. In 2 hours, this book gives you a very good basis, packaged in an exciting story. Read more
