Thinking better

What did you love best about How Successful People Think?
Amazingly proportioned and well-sequenced list of the thinking capabilities. Was made a better thinker, will no longer embrace 'popular thinking' the way I was thought too, another great work by a ginormous personality.

Reader friendly, I enjoyed the book.

Correct thinking is the greatest opportunity for us to be successful in life. Assessing the thinking pattern of others who were successful gives one a headstart toward success.
