Create Your Own Future
by Brian Tracy
Twelve principles for designing a life rather than drifting into one: clarity, responsibility, continuous learning, relationships, money, health and persistence. It overlaps heavily with Tracy's other books; the chapter on continuous learning is the one with the sharpest advice.
Read it if…
you want a Tracy overview with a planning bent.
Skip it if…
you have Goals! or Maximum Achievement; this repeats them.
Three things you will actually use
- Clarity is the first requirement of design.
- An hour a day of learning compounds into mastery.
- Persistence is self-discipline in action.
Do this first
Set the one-hour-a-day learning habit the book recommends and protect it for thirty days.
Our verdict
A Tracy overview with planning.
