How Successful People Think

In a brief presentation full of memorable quotes, a leadership expert expands material in a previous book on the importance of thinking. Narrator Chris Sorenson has the sensibilities and vocal charm to convey Maxwell's message that life is more rewarding when we think more intentionally and carefully. His reading sounds calmly inspirational but has enough zip to add some welcome intensity to the author's low-key wisdom. Along with his trademark optimism, the author delivers a solid analysis of how to use 10 different types of thinking, which include creative, reflective, strategic, and unselfish cognitions. This is an effective combination of heartfelt encouragement and thorough details on thinking habits that anyone can adopt to get more out of life. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

Leadership guru/best-selling author Maxwell (www.johnmaxwell.com) is a master at inspiring people to change the way they think. Here, he segments successful thinking types into several categories (e.g., focused, creative, strategic, reflective), illustrating each type and providing techniques for practice. Audiences will want to listen repeatedly to this short title, read capably by Chris Sorensen ("Found"). Fans of Maxwell's "Thinking for a Change", from which this book derives, will especially enjoy; those new to his works will also be interested.Gail Preslar, Eastman Chemical Co.
