Be Obsessed or Be Average

This is a book that I will keep on my bookshelf for many years and consistently go back to for advice and guidance. This book will be helpful for generations to come. I can literally see a kid picking up this book in 2070 and being inspired to change the world with it. I like the review on the back where it says, "For those who use this information, it will be a life changer." I completely agree. You have to not just read the book, but read and re-read it, underline the tips and quotes. And then apply it into your own life. Grant gives SO many PRACTICAL tips on how to get what you want out of life. This book made it instantly into my top 10 books of all time. Probably top 3 actually. I went and bought Grant's other books immediately after reading this. Grant is super positive and motivational. After reading this book you'll want to crush it everywhere in life. You will finally be given PERMISSION to go after your goals with an obsessed/relentless attitude. This book had motivated me and inspired me to really go towards my goal with full force and positivity. I also purchased Grant's 100 Ways to Stay Motivated Course after reading this. Grant is simply obsessed with making the world a better place in a good way. He is a role model and mentor to me even though I do know him personally. There are so many good tips in here I can't begin to explain, you MUST read the book yourself. For anyone committed to success, this is the book for you. Grant, thank you so much for all that you do. You are truly an inspiration and guide for millions on this planet and even though I do not know you, I am very proud of you brother. I can't wait to meet you one day. All the best. -Joey Kittel

This is a masterpiece. I have read hundreds of books and this is my number one favorite, to read regularily. Truly amazing.

Once again, Uncle G proves he knows business and knows how to provide the motivation to get you moving. Thanks Grant for your excellent books.

I first heard of Grant Cardone when his advertisement for the Millionaire Booklet popped up before a YouTube video. Usually I skip, but decided for some reason to watch. I really like how this man spoke and it drew me in. I did some research and learned he has written multiple books, this is the first one I got and have read. I really enjoyed it. The message of this book is to be obsessed. While this message gets repeated a lot, that's the point. Be obsessed, be obsessed, be obsessed. I found this book very inspirational and has given me some drive. I looked into his other books and the census seems to be that those are more geared towards business. While this book is based a lot around Cardone's business experiences, I think a lot of what he tells you can be applied to anything. I would definitely recommend this book. It's easy to understand and easy to read. Check it out.

Normally, I wouldn’t have purchased this book just in passing. However Grant personally closed the deal with me via the Evan Carmichael interview by adding real value to the transaction. Brief disclaimer, because when I reread this I felt I sounded like a plant: I don’t know Cardone, and the first I heard of him was a few days ago during the Carmichael interview (who is also awesome). So, in the spirit of the book, I decided to attempt to read it within 24 hours. With a brief sleep in between sessions, a 2-minute repeating timer to keep me on track, and a combined speed-read/eating dual wield for lunch, I did it in just under 22 hours! Also, I was fifteen minutes early to work. Two other amazing things happened today. Brief background: I work three jobs, as a server, at the front desk in a hotel, and as a freelance composer/producer. When I went to the hotel we had four rooms vacant. In the past I’ve seen my job as simply checking in guests and taking care of their various requests. Today however I decided I’m going to get these rooms sold. And I did! By semi-cold calling and working with a few walk-ins on the price, I filled every room. One more. A few weeks ago I was checking a woman out (of the hotel), and she asked if I was in school. I told her I just graduated in conducting but also have been freelance composing and producing for years. She took down my info, but I figured I’d never hear anything. But just now when I got home I checked my email, literally 45 minutes ago, and had received a speculative request to license some music for a series of videos for her company. I don’t know if it’s just coincidence or the universe acknowledging my little burst of focused energy, but I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. A girl who’s after me stopped in during my shift and asked what I was doing after work. I said going home. She also bumped into my brother in town right before and passed the message that he wanted me to come out for a drink. I said no. Oh, so about the book.. It helped me re-identify alcohol as something for me to ditch in addition to a girl who seems to have way too much free time. I say buy it. Honestly, I could have given it four stars because the middle chapters get a bit thicker and the tone about money may turn some off. Though when I thought back about it, they are probably the chapters most important to read because of their direct honesty. What else.. I like the trump jab on the very first page, the unique glossary, and various points about customer satisfaction and enticement. Also I don’t think I’ve ever written a review before now. The past 32 hours have been fairly interesting for me and I look forward to the next 32. Thanks for reading, if you made it this far!

Great advice for the wierd who disdain average. Take the information and see where it can take you! This book is worth the time invested.

Al margen de los habituales comentarios arrogantes típicos del autor, alguien que superó su adicción a las drogas y se convirtió en multimillonario, el libro representa un golpe en la línea de flotación de la cultura de la relajación que impera en ciertos ámbitos laborales. Su idea de la obsesión se suma a conceptos similares ya expresados por autores como Napoleon Hill (deseo ardiente) o Brian Tracy (mantener el foco para lograr los objetivos). Es un libro muy recomendable y motivador para quienes aspiren a no ser considerados profesionales del montón.

I give this book 4.5 stars for its inspiration, practical counsel, and motivating ideas. Anyone who wants to rise beyond mediocrity should read it.

Ho scoperto per caso questo libro e mi ha incuriosito a partire dal titolo. Per me è una grande verità che ho scoperto dopo una vita: il vero segreto del successo è nel vivere una "ossessione" per ciò a cui ti dedichi. Cardone lo ha applicato ai suoi affari e gli ha consentito di emergere nonostante le difficoltà avute da giovane, ma penso che vale a prescindere dal settore: é e deve diventare una norma di vita... Da leggere, rileggere e vivere...

If you are obsessed by achieving success and you feel like you live in a temporary state. You are waiting for a big thing to happen. You do believe you belong to a better world and you want to have an impact on it. Difficulties in life made you stronger, and nothing in the world can get you upset, angry or mad. THAN THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU. It will teach you that being like this is an awesome thing and will point you to the right direction to move to the next level with your personal life or your business

I bought the book on kindle because in France it was not available until 2 weeks or more. I learnt english language espacially to read and understand that kind of book. If you want more in your life I think you need to have this one. Grant has something special and you will learn a lot with him ;) #BeObsessed
