Simon & Schuster Take Command

"Choosing the right thoughts" is indeed key to one's success. I love how this book is a tangible toolkit to self empowerment .

Read this book and enjoyed it. Gave it to my daughter who just graduated. Excellent ideas on how to manage your life.

This book is both practical and profound. It’s loaded with research-based guidance and principles to help you navigate the messiness of our humanness: How to deal with difficult people, restore broken relationships, build self-efficacy, resilience, confidence, empathy and even character. It will help you decide if your life is on the right path, whether you were wondering or not! And if your wonder sparks conviction, it provides a road map and inspiration for climbing your ‘second mountain,’ one that is aligned with your purpose and gifts. If you don’t feel like tackling another book right now, buy this anyway. Then when you’ve failed at something, or found yourself in conflict or anxious or down, you’ll be glad you have this uplifting resource. Every chapter ends with a step-by-step summary to help you through your turmoil.And if you need inspiration to dive deeper into self-development, just open to chapter 9 and learn how teacher Yesenia Aguirre uses her unexpected career as an Uber driver to connect, heal and encourage her passengers. Or jump to chapter 17 and see how young Juan Pablo Romero Fuente has transformed his impoverished community by refusing to accept the suffering and human stagnation surrounding him. You’ll end up reading the whole thing anyway. You’ll be grateful you did, as will the others in your life.

If you want to learn about how to conduct yourself to attract people towards while treating them the way they deserve, this book is for you. It puts things into perspective. Great complement to How to Win Friends and Influence People.

Taking Command is a message that all young, aspiring individuals should pay close attention to. The book demonstrates through real-life stories of today's young leaders how they took command of their relationships to deliver on their goals and form better relationships with others. The Dale Carnegie proven principles coupled with the new ones introduced, make this a great tool for individuals of all ages. It is a very relatable book and one that I look forward to passing on to my kids, the future generation of leaders.

Pretty good for a basic motivation and help in organizing yourself and career
