Attitude is Everything is a book based on Jeff Keller's journey of being a motivational speaker. Being a lawyer, he was doing well, but something is amiss. He decides to make a gradual transition and start working as a full-time motivational orator in 1992.

This novel is divided into three parts, Success Begins in the Mind, Watch Your Words, and Heaven Helps Those Who Act. The foremost objective of the book is to make you believe that you can achieve anything you desire. Positive thinking and sound visualization ability shift things in our favor, but if we continuously welcome negativity in our life, it will absorb all the great stuff.

Jeff Keller also talks about how one can succeed in his/her job or business. Of course, leaving a sustainable job will never be gonna an easy task, but once you show the courage and stick to it no matter what happened; the Universe will come to your rescue. Many people commence a new thing, but with an incorrect mindset. They stop working after a few difficulties or failures. It will lead them nowhere. The author used real-life examples to supplement his viewpoints.

This book helps me a lot because I am currently working on my new venture, and I need all the support and positivity in my life. I am very much confident about it, but after reading this book, I know for sure that no matter how long it takes to become successful, I will not sit back and never stop trying.

The book is fast-paced and engaging. It will help you to see new possibilities. Also, the author tells how one can bypass negative people in their personal and professional life. It is for every reader, and I can't recommend it enough.

Awesome !!!

I started using positive words. That's why I used awesome word first. :P

Short and sweet . If anyone wants to change your attitude to the way of positive side than this book will be the good choice.

Some lines from the book:
1. There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
--- Shakespear

2. We become what we think about.

3. Vision is the art of seeing things invisible to others.
--- Jonathan Swift

4. The things which hurt, instruct.

5. Choose words that will point you in the direction of your goals.

"Whether you think you can - or think you can't - you're right." - Henry Ford

When it comes to reading self-help (or self-development) books, the way the readers see the world gets affected considerably: despite the principles, we share author's perspective while we are immersed in a particular book and ends up with at least something gained. When reading Jeff Keller's Attitude is Everything, I felt it to be a very nicely put summary of some of the well-known self-help books of all time.

"Your attitude is your window to the world"

In fact, the author openly gives credit for the well known personalities from whom he has extracted opinions - such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Napoleon Hill, Winston Churchill and many more - while sharing his own principles.

"success, to a large extent, is a matter of persistence."

For me, this was a brief guide - or kind of a map of self-development books out there - instead of a detailed manual. I'm not saying it's too simple - for certainly the underlying idea is of utmost importance - it is very brief and exactly to the point. Given how quickly one is able to read the entire book, this is a great read for self-development lovers.

This is a motivational book packed with brief and easy tips to change your wrong habits, to take control of your life and to chose the right path, to reach the upper success. The writer of "Attitude Is Everything" had an inspiring experience that led him to share his useful thoughts; he went from being a lawyer to a motivational speaker, he could change his career and all of his life because he believed in himself and in his potentials and mainly he changed his attitudes.

I usually take some good notes during my reading of self help books as reminders and to share them with readers :

📒Your attitude is the window of the world.

📒Pay attention to your dominant thoughts .

📒Believe in your self and take action and persist; you will achieve your goals and overcome obstacltes in your way to to success.

📒Positive dominant thoughts grant you positive results.

📒Draw a vivid image in your mind to your achievments in the future.

📒Commitment is the secret of success.

📒Adversity brings out your hidden strength and builds up your self-esteem.

📒Your words have a termendous impact on your life , they might be a powerful support or a huge obstacle , don't underestimate the power of words; choose them wisely to rise your energy and your self confidence to accomplish more goals.

"your day goes the way the corners of your mouth turn" ...Unknown

📒Complaints solve nothing but it reinforces your suffering and increase the level of your pain.

📒Your friends, your family, your good health, your children, your safe home ..... don't take them for granted, but count them as blessing you may lose them in a trace. stop complaining about trifles and trivial matters in your life .

📒Your satisfaction and happiness is related directly to your monitor thoughts.

📒If you surround yourself with positive and nourishing people you will lift up the ladder of success!

📒 Confront your fears.

This book is easy to read, simple and helpful for those who have not read self help books yet, but I did many times and if they could change anything in me except raising my level of happiness and energy for few hours, and that sounds  enough for me .

Recunosc ca am citit cartea doar pentru ca am nevoie de o noua transformare in viata mea. Vreau sa schimb ceva la mine, pentru ca sunt indecisa, pentru ca ma chinui uneori sa vad partile bune ale lucrurilor in ciuda faptului ca sunt optimista...cred. Atitudinea este totul, e genul de carte pe care as da-o tuturor persoanelor care ma cunosc sa o citeasca pentru ca sunt o gramada de situatii in care mi se pare ca ei m-ar regasi si m-ar intelege. Este o carte care te ambitioneaza si iti da energie

Attitude is everything is a great and an inspirational book!

The book is narrated by the author itself. I love the first point of view because I think it is an intimate view in terms of what the author feels.

The beginning of the book narrates about the story of the author. How he feels unsatisfied with his life until he decided to change his attitude and change his life. The story is heart warming since the author talks about how satisfied and happy he is about his decision which is to change his attitude and learn more about it.

The next few pages are explanations on how to change the readers life. One is to change attitude and then others like not complaining, choosing your friends, confronting fears, and never giving up. I like how Jeff added stories of individuals who have done something to completely change their lives.

The most inspiring part for me is the one about failures and not giving up. I know I always hear this but it just feels different when you read how others made their lives successful by persisting on what they do. I just love it. I inspire to also do the same and change my life!

Do I recommend this book? Definitely! If you are a person who is sometimes negative about self, then read this and ponder about it! It is such a good book! It will make you think deeply about your actions in the future. 😊

The problem with self help books are they are all self help ... nothing new to talk about... when a new one comes out it will always be the old words told in a a new way. So if you have read one or two of them , then you have read all of them. But another aspect of self help is that when you wind a person to a new way of life through self help ,there is a high possibility that he may go back to the old self if he is not as much enthusiastic. So such person needs a rewinding once in a while and this one helps you to rewind. If you are a first timer also then you can go through this book because Attitude is almost everything. And if you have to rewind you find this one helpful

A book at is easy to read with inspiration in each chapter. I have made a major change in my life and, while I am excited about the opportunities I am making for myself I also need to have something to keep reminding me about the ups and downs that happen while moving towards a brilliant future. I will keep coming back to this reading a chapter most days to re confirm my belief in what I am doing. I recommend it to everyone as attitude really is everything.

mai mult mă enervez citind, pentru că mi se pare că abordează o atitudine idiot de simplistă + că nu mi se pare că învăț ceva nou/interesant și nici nu mă motivează deloc.

✦ Am această carte în bibliotecă de un an și ceva și numai nu am ajuns la ea. Dar când aveam abonament pe Voxa nu știam ce să mai ascult și am zis să îi dau o șansă, și nu regret!

✦ Cartea a fost chiar interesantă, plină de sfaturi care m-au ajutat, sau sfaturi pe care le aplicam deja în viața de zi cu zi. Pe la final am început să mă plictisesc și să nu mai am foarte multă răbdare cu ea, mi s-a părut că se repetă aceleași chestii, dar per total a fost ok și mi-a plăcut.

✦ În format fizic are până în 200 de pagini (cred), iar pe Voxa erau și puține ore de ascultat, deci dacă vreți o carte de non-ficțiune lejeră, scurtă și care să aibă multe sfaturi și idei interesante atunci 0 recomand pe aceasta.

✦ Am văzut că mai sunt cărți în această coleție, tot de non-ficțiune și scurte, mă gândesc să le dau o șansă și acelor cărți. Bine, nu o să citesc des, fiindca nu aș putea. :)) Dar odată la ceva timp e ok.

✦ 4/5 și o recomand.

If I give this book a critical review, does that prove the point of the book and become a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Well, I love anything positive. This, however, was kinda New Agey in a 'you can manifest your own destiny, create your own reality, be happy damn you, what matter that a crocodile has just bitten off your left leg?'- kind of way.

Also American and Zig Zigler-ish, success is too often equated with money or sales for my taste.

Having said all of this, I did get something out of it and must practice modeling some new behaviours. :-)

Originally published as Attitude Is Everything: Change Your Attitude... and You Change Your Life!.

Self-help books are just not my thing. Heck, I am embarrassed enough by the term that I chose to shelve the book under "self improvement" to make it sound somewhat better. Add to this the fact that I was more or less blackmailed into reading the book, so I didn't exactly start it with particular enthusiasm.

The gist of this book's advice is to basically hypnotize yourself into having a positive attitude. And that just doesn't sit right with me. At one point the author suggests that the reader start listening to self-help audio books every night, for at least thirty minutes. Guess what imagery that conjured in my mind:
Dexter attempting to learn French while asleep
Omellete du fromage, anyone?

Another aspect that didn't particularly resonate with me, was the number of examples focused on earning tonnes of money. As incredible as it may sound, I don't particularly care about that. I do of course want to have the money to go on a trip abroad, or to buy a certain type of food, movie tickets etc. But I'm perfectly fine, with not owning a 2-storey mansion and a pool. A regular condo will do just fine.

That said, on average I wouldn't necessarily say that this was a bad book. I managed to go through it in roughly 2 hours, mostly due to the engaging writing style. Plus I have to give the author credit, going from a stressful job as a lawyer to that of a motivational speaker, AND becoming successful at it; quite an achievement.

Score 3/5 stars

Aside from this genre not being my cup of tea, I can't really find anything particularly terrible with the book. The most I can object to is that I don't really get why people would pay money for motivational tie pins. As for my attitude, I guess I'll just have to fake it. Who knows? Perhaps I'll even make it some day.

Attitude is everything.
Are you often influenced by negative people? Do you spread negativity? Have you ever felt negative before starting anything new?

Then this book is predominantly meant for you. Even I'm the kind of girl, who feels negative and scared to start something new.
This book showed me a positive perspective of the world.
The three main keywords from this book are: THINK, SPEAK, ACT.
The best motivational book i could say.
Now I strongly believe in the saying "change your attitude, you can change your life".

One of the important books in self help genre. Throughout reading I was able to recall most of the basics we were taught during our youthhood days. This book contains a lot more practical ideas which can be very much relevant even today. It's not a magic wand for all your real life problems. But if you are able approach these concepts with optimistic attitude and open mind, then this book can do wonders for you.

Am absolvit facultatea de drept în 1980 şi mă gândeam că voi fi avocat pentru tot restul vieţii mele. în definitiv, era ceea îmi doream să fac încă din adolescenţă. La început, lucrurile s-au desfăşurat conform planului. După ce am învăţat intens o vară întreagă, am reuşit la examenul de admitere în Barou şi am devenit avocat stagiar în New York. Viaţa mea personală era de asemenea în ascensiune. La începutul anului 1981, m-am căsătorit cu Dolores, o colegă de facultate. Viaţa mea urma să fie plină de succes şi de fericire. Sau cel puţin aşa credeam eu. Dar după câţiva ani în care am practicat avocatura, mi-am dat seama că nu eram deloc fericit. Desigur că erau unele aspecte ale vieţii de avocat care îmi plăceau. Mă bucuram că reuşeam să ajut oamenii să îşi rezolve litigiile, în special atunci când puteam să scurtez agonia cauzată de procedurile legale îndelungate. Totuşi, îmi displăceau nenumărate aspecte ale profesiei mele — şi acest lucru părea să îmi diminueze vitalitatea. Teancuri întregi de acte plictisitoare şi moţiuni de înregistrat. întârzieri constante şi amânări. Nu era un fapt neobişnuit ca un proces să fie amânat şi de zece ori. (...)La începutul anului 1985, la puţină vreme după ce împlinisem 30 de ani, eram complet epuizat. într-o seară, în timp ce stăteam singur în sufrageria mea, mi-am dat seama că ceva trebuia să se schimbe. Neştiind ce anume trebuia să fac, mi-am spus pur şi simplu cu voce tare: „Trebuie ca viaţa mea să reprezinte mai mult decât atât... trebuie să existe mai mult decât suferinţă şi nefericire."

O carte scurtă, dar care inspiră și îți aduce aminte, cu ușurință, că tu poți(face) orice, dar cu efort și muncă deopotrivă. Înconjoară-te de oamenii potriviți, alege să te afli în medii care te motivează și propulsează spre ceea ce tinzi. Nu da mâinele în jos la primul eșec, eșecurile sunt valoroase și pline de învățăminte.

Atitudinea ta e mai importantă decât ce va zice lumea despre tine, nimeni nu se află în papucii tăi. Concentrează-te pe aptitudinile tale, dezvoltă și mai mult punctele tale forte și asta îți va aduce rezultate pe care nici nu le visezi.

O carte mică, dar tare drăguță, o termini de citit și ai impresia că în zilele următoare urmează să se întâmple ceva important. Să o citiți și voi.
