Pragmatic, Pithy and to the point

Great book, written version has many useful forms for the listener who would like to go further in your application of the principles provided. The book is great for someone who wants to get down to the issues and make changes. Not filled up with stories, or personal accounts. Good hard outlines, clear instruction, solid reasoning, good research. Well worth the investment

not much to say

This audible book spends too much time at 40,000ft and too little beyond very general advice. At first I was enthused, and there were a couple quotes I found particularly valuable, but on the whole I finished feeling rather dissapointed.

Great Book for Change

One of the better books I have read that are very descriptive in how too change your life on a daily basis. John Maxwell has always been an easy person too listen too (or read) and this book is another great one. His teachings are brilliant, and very easy too follow and take notes too. Highly Recommended!!!

Solid work

First of all, you won't be disappointed by purchasing this book. Previously, I've listened to "Roadmap for Success". It changed my life for good. If "Today Matters" was my first John Maxwell book, it would make nearly the same effect. The only negative thing is overemphasize of religion. It's just my opinion of course.

Helpful and useful

This is one of the best self books I have every come across in years. If you want to have a productive day and a better future then you should read this book.

Classic Maxwell

You can always count on John Maxwell to give you a roadmap that is easy and logical to follow, and this book is no different. With this book, he broadens the typical list of things you might use as anchors in your life (you know the standard five -- family, work, financial,civic, and social)-- and thereby bring a broader set of tools to help align life with goals. He also provides good examples from his own life to bring it all together. Another good Maxwell book -- if you liked somd of this other books, you will like this one too.

Want to turn your life around? Read this book!

Would you listen to Today Matters again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to this book again. It has so many amazing insights that I am determined to remember in order to make them effect my life, that I intend to listen to it several times in order to commit the valuable knowledge I've learned to my memory forever.

Who was your favorite character and why?

John Maxwell, because his life's experiences give me inspiration. He is a true mentor and someone who's wisdom I feel I can trust to enhance my life.

Have you listened to any of John C. Maxwell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have not listened to any of John's other books. I plan to.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Make the absolute most out of the life you have TODAY, and reap the true benefits of staying committed to a better way of life.

Any additional comments?

Any person who wants to change their life for the better must read this book. Buy this book for your adult children who need direction, and insist that they read it. A child who reads a book recommended by their parent, has show the ultimate amount of respect by understanding their parents love for them. After reading this, if you put the principals into action in your life, you will inspire change in the people around and influence your world in a great way. Thank you John Maxwell for your book - Today Matters - because Today Does Matter!

A helpful push out of complacency!

Very insightful book placing value on the importance of daily progress. Great examples and stories that solidify the book’s premise. Tomorrow matters most today!

Outstanding as Expected!

Mr. Maxwell's work always motivates and challenges me to reach my full potential. In addition to spelling out the benefits of personal growth, he also walks you through the steps. So far, I have never been disappointed with his work.

Today Matters

John Maxwell has an effortless way of communicating life changing truths. In Today Matters he takes you through twelve key areas for our lives and shows us how giving time and attention to these areas each day, will have such a huge impact on what we do and who we are. Packed with practical examples the listener will feel connected to Maxwell's easy delivery of everyday steps which always feel achievable. I already had Today Matters in book form, but the audio book brings a whole new dimension to it. If you only ever have one John Maxwell book, then you have got to make it this one!

Words of wisdom from a man seeking to be faithful

Sound words of wisdom from a man seeking to be faithful to his calling as a leader, husband and follower of Jesus Christ. There's no greater calling!

The book of the everyday change

The genius of Maxwell is that he taps into what we already know. That our everyday endeavours allow us to shape our future. In an era of X factor quick fame and success its refreshing to read a book that reminds us of central truths... firstly, that we write huge chunks of our future and second, that we do this in the mundane choices of the everyday. The book is wonderfully composed and keeps you engaged... and finally nails the lie that values don't matter... they do, they always have... great read.

Its not really ✨️giving✨️ But its insightful

Its cliche and a little too easily said, not very in depth on psychology also mainly based on own experience. Author seems a bit entitled yet does have genuine good intentions so id say this book is allright. He makes good points but meanwhile talks over himself a bit... I dont know what i think of this book. Id just grab it in the book story not buy it and read parts that i find interesting then leave it. The anekdotes and metaphors are pretty weak aswell

I dont like how the author implemented religion since that is different for all people, i do like that he implemented his own beliefs and values

Excellent book

This is a great book full of wisdom and insight! I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to improve themselves!
