The Difference Maker
by John C. Maxwell
A book entirely about attitude: what it can and cannot do, the five obstacles that erode it (discouragement, change, problems, fear, failure) and how to respond to each. Maxwell is honest that attitude is not everything, which makes the rest of the argument more credible than the genre usually manages.
Read it if…
you know your attitude slips under pressure and want specific counters.
Skip it if…
you want strategy; this is about the mindset you bring to any strategy.
Three things you will actually use
- Attitude is not everything, but it is the difference maker.
- Discouragement is the first and most common leak.
- Failure handled well becomes experience.
Do this first
Name the one of the five obstacles that most often sinks your mood and read that chapter twice.
Our verdict
Attitude, honestly bounded.
