The Success Principles is a must have in any "success" book home library...
Format: Paperback
I read the first version of The Success Principles back in 2009 and I honestly felt like I came across one of the best and most complete resources for success (and really life) I have ever read. I was even more thrilled when I discovered there was The Success Principles for Teens because finding effective ways to teach these life tools and techniques to my daughters has always been a top priority, and challenge. My oldest daughter has not only read it, she has even referred back to some of the principles when I obviously break them :).
I had all but forgotten pre-ordering this updated version of The Success Principles until I got the surprise package in the mail today. All of the core content in this version is still there, but what was exciting to read were the new success stories included of people that bought the original book and had breakthroughs.
The completely new content included is "Success in the Digital Age" and it is a fantastic resource. I would consider myself very knowledgeable when it comes to technology and Internet Marketing (having worked as a Sr. System Engineer for over a decade and years learning and implementing various Internet Marketing solutions), and I can say this addition is fantastic. The content and advice he managed to include in just five chapters is impressive, and spot on. If topics like social media, technology, and online branding are areas that are a weakness, or you want to learn more about the most effective ways to leverage these and other technical solutions used by some of the most successful leaders in this space, than you will love this addition to the book.
I will end this review by saying I am life coach, and resources like these are gold. I am constantly referring back to this text before and after sessions. I am a huge fan of countless self-help experts and bestselling authors, and I have a huge list of books I love and regularly recommend, but none are such a complete resource like this book. As one of the "experts" in this space said about this book, trying to just identify the "big ideas" included in this book is virtually impossible, because everything he includes IS a "big idea." So if you are a fan of this type of content this is a must have in your library, if only for a reference.
