Reader comments
This book is really practical! It provides many ways to achieve our goals and also explains why our previous plans failed. I particularly liked the section on how to set goals and develop willpower, which I found very inspiring. Moreover, the author's analysis of the characters' personalities and experiences is also very good, allowing me to better understand those methods. In short, I think this book has been very helpful to me and recommend it to everyone!
Set a goal, make it specific, set an attainable goal, adopt effective methods, and stick to it. Believe that most skills can be mastered through hard work. It is important to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. Don't be blindly optimistic, be realistic. Thanks to the author
