Publisher's summary

The simple way to achieve personal and business success!

Simpleology is the cutting-edge speed-learning psychology that governs success or failure in every endeavor. It provides the explanation for those who succeed in life - because, consciously or unconsciously, they have been following the five laws explained here. Those who fail have been breaking at least one of these laws on a regular basis.

Now you can and gain financial prosperity, discover a new level of focus on your goals, and truly unlock your potential by following these simple laws:

• The Law of Straight Lines
• The Law of Clear Vision
• The Law of Focused Attention
• The Law of Focused Energy
• The Inevitability of Action/Reaction

Accomplish three times as much in one-third the time as you attain total mastery of time, energy, and money!

Critic reviews

"The principles found in Simpleology are the same that I followed to become a three-time Olympian." (Ruben Gonzalez, Olympic athlete, luge) "When I implemented Mark's Simple.ology formula, I immediately tripled my production while simultaneously cutting my working hours. Amazing!" (Frank Rumbauskas, New York Times best-selling author of Never Cold Call Again!)

Useful overall

Early on the author makes some assumptions that I don't find true, so that threw me off while I was listening to the book. However, there are many useful sections about how to listen to facts or arguments others are putting forward. The perspective you will get on critical thinking is worthwhile, even if the rest of the book is a little simple.

Rambling

"What is the purpose of this book?" This is the question that I asked myself after listening to about 2/3 of it. I feel that it wanders off on a rambling tangent and doesn't deliver any strong actionable output. I think it delivers babble.ology rather than simple.ology

For the Simple Minds

This book would be useful to you if your life is a disorganized mess. The workbook and lessons could help to keep stay on track and get your life back on track. The messages are simple and clear. For those of you that have any common sense, you might find that this book insults your intelligence.

Confused.ology

After nearly 2 hours and I have no idea what the point of this book is.

A Life Changing Audio

More useful than "The Secret"...this audio book has 5 easy rules that will change your life and business forever. Achieve what you've always desired by following Joyner's plan. It's changed my life forever.

mind open

I am 36 and over 1,000 audiobooks read and this is a life changer for me... Like "BLINK" was.

Excellent book but takes some effort to understand

I can't believe there are so many simple minded people that don't like this book. He said it was simple, but not easy. I guess they were looking for overly simple, and easy. This book is actually excellent if you listen carefully for the meaning behind the analogies he's using, rather than getting baffled by the examples and analogies he's using.
It actually cuts through a lot of BS to get to ways to help you THINK in a more scientific and systematized way, but first he does seem to ramble around with multiple examples and analogies, but if you pay attention you'll see he's showing you how to cut through Other people's BS, apply the Mental Principles of Science and Logic, avoid logical fallacies that distort our thinking and be more clear headed as to how to achieve your goals.

He would not be training multiple companies in the Fortune 500 group unless what he's teaching is actually worthwhile, as they don't waste money on things that don't work!!
Apparently a lot of others readers are undervaluing this because they haven't though hard enough about the complexities of how to think and the many mental traps that can cause you to have logical errors in thinking.

If you are smart, or intellectual, or scientific, you may be a little frustrated at first as to where he is going, but eventually you'll see the overall picture and have learned how to think more clearly. A well worthwhile book!

Don't Bother

I have read and listened to many books, especially those that help us tap into out true potential. This was by FAR the most difficult to muddle through. I thought it would never end. The delivery was so elementary and annoying. From the repeated "Bar Rat 1" and "Dave" conversations to the highly irritating transition and pause from one book/chapter to the next. For the first time ever, I disposed of a book. The potential was there, the message was there, the delivery - a nightmare. I do hope the author gives it another try – with consult.

Good

I like this book and like anything in life to get the best results you need to apply yourself to it.

don't bother

I barely managed to listen all the way through, but was able only because it was relatively short and I was sure there must be a point somewhere. There was some interesting information, though nothing new or earthshattering. I was disappointed by the lengthy attacks on metaphysics. I would rather hear someone tell me what they have, not what they think someone else doesn't. Overall I was quite disappointed.
