Narrado por: Adam Markel

Public speaker, transformative teacher, and CEO of Peak Potentials, Adam Markel has been inspiring people to find their best work for years. Now, for the first time, he presents his practical program for people who are looking to reinvent themselves. Here’s how to “get in touch with your real self, decide exactly who you are and what you want, and make your life into a masterpiece,” raves Brian Tracy, author of The Power of Self-Confidence.

Whether you are out of work or want to change where you are now, Pivot inspires you on a cellular level to make lasting life changes possible. This seminal guide to successfully changing your life for the better provides stories, prompts, clear step-by-step exercises, and calls to actions throughout. You’ll follow the steps of career reinvention: Creating a Vision, Getting Clear, Having a Definite Plan, Thinking Boldly, Relentless Focus, Support, and Spiritual Practice.

By changing self-limiting beliefs—the internal pivot to finding clarity about what you want—you can effectively deal with the mental and emotional obstacles that normally stop you from reaching your career goals. Based on his own personal story and the success of thousands of students, Markel provides a clear and applicable program perfect for “taking charge of your life and realizing your potential” (Sharon Lechter, author of Think and Grow Rich for Women).

Sensational

This is an awesome and motivating book. I could not stop listening. Great job, Adam!

author read

I love it when the author reads everything. this was a great quality production and I feel like he really gives excellent and actionable steps to changing your life

Great Read

This book was a breath of fresh air. Much needed. Great breakout starter for anyone transitioning to another phase of their life or those tired of being stuck.

Must Read!

Best book I’ve absorbed for changing and reinventing yourself. Great points and easy to comprehend.

Good story telling

Repetitive and really focused on self-help industry, ie so and so was laid off and became a self help coach. Good stuff but too much of it

Very Helpful and Inspiring

I’ve been trying to pivot in my career for 2 years with little success, so this book is very helpful to me right now. Now, a lot of the concepts are found in other self-help books, but sometimes we need to hear them over and over! I particularly found it helpful to know we don’t have to have a big, concrete plan to move forward. I was getting stuck here thinking I had to have everything figured out before I made any changes. It’s also great that he emphasizes that you don’t need to burn bridges or take risky actions. I think I’ll get the e-book as well so I can highlight sections. One little observation more than criticism, is that at the end he kind of takes on the entire ball of wax of self-development in his action plan, but in many ways making big changes does require effort in all areas of your life. The author does a very good job narrating the book as well. I recommend this book if you are looking to make a big change - even if you don’t know WHAT you want to do exactly.

Mediocre motivation at its best

Really nothing about this title inspired me to grow or change in any sort of meaningful way

The book assumes you are lost in life

What disappointed you about Pivot?

I felt this book was for people so down on their luck that they needed a fresh start.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I stopped listening in the first chapter, it made me feel sad.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for guidance out of a real problem where you have lost hope, this may help.

not realistic, too many metaphors

Not realistic, too many metaphors and not enough real life applications. couldn't get past chapter 2.
