Coach Yourself to Success: 101 Tips from a Personal Coach for Reaching Your Goals at Work and in Life (NTC SELF-HELP)

This book is AMAZING. I read a lot of books but they rarely impress me so much that I decide to keep them. This one I kept. It is 101 tips presented in 101 short chapters and it is full of practical advice that packs a big punch. To give you an idea, some of the categories delved into are energy and clutter, career and money, health and beauty, Law of Attraction and social and communications I don't want to give away too much of the book because it really is excellent and has the potential (if you use it) to be life changing. But some of the tips offered here that really stood out as original and life-changing are: 1) Clear away all clutter that doesn't bring you joy, 2) Reinvent your Goals list to get rid of all of your "should" goals or turn them into more exciting goals that you'll actually be motivated to do 3) When communicating with anyone, turn complaints into requests 4) LoA paradoxes- Are we supposed to be completely detached from, or focus intently and work non-stop on what we want? And how to detach from our desires/outcomes 5) Sort out things that bother you about your physical appearance once and for all- cos it subtly drains energy 6) Follow the signs of the universe - what is it trying to tell you? 7) Practical steps to take to banish fears 8) Design your career around your lifestyle- not the other way round 9) Cast lots of pebbles- instead of chasing success, cast lots of fishing rods and see which ones bite 10) Write your goal down 15x a day Thank you Talane for such an excellent book. It really is life-changing and I will keep this book and use it whenever I need to. 5*

I have only read a couple of self-help books, but after reading this one, I feel I don't need to read any others. I read it quite a few years ago and still go back to it sometimes. I love how Talane offers loads of really sensible, down-to-earth tips to improve your life in all areas. I have adopted many of them as habits now and so far I have reached most of my goals in life. Besides, the writing style makes it very easy to read, and Talane's own experience helps to understand and give more credibility to the stuff. I've recommended it to many friends and family so I also recommend it to you! Enjoy!

An interesting read with lots of practical activities to maximise positive energy and effect changes in life and work. At some points the advice seemed to be conflicting, set goals...throw away your goals, which left me a little confused, but taking these points in context, things started to make sense. I picked up a lot of tips for coaching others with the practical elements backed up by limited but poignant theoretical aspects. There is a plethora of self help books out there and this one just looks like any other but it's a book I would highly recommend. Interesting, insightful and informative but as Talone points out, it's no good just reading it - you must implement the activities for it to be effective.

This book changed my point of view and my actitudes. It is really amazing how you can couch and encourage yourself. I am Hispanic, read it in Spanish, but got the English version for a present and the person who got it had a very good feedback as well.

I really enjoyed this book. It is clearly divided into small chapters that give easy to understand advice. I particularly like the use of real examples.

Excellent inspiring book, easy and fun to read with sensible advice that can easily to be applied to anyones lifestyle. presented in small manageable sections making incorporating small changes into daily life a possibility for everyone.

Great read and it's always nice to go back to it for a quick read. inspiring and motivational are the two main words that come to mind.

This book was recommended to me by a friend who had also bought it on personal recommendation. I haven't finished it yet but it's very readable and practical and I'm enjoying it. Each section is a short chapter that identifies issues and emotions that affect us all and explains how to approach them or view them differently if you feel stuck or held back. Very thought provoking and easy to relate to - I would recommend to anyone who enjoys motivational books.

One of the best investments you can make for yourself. This book can change your life, and yes, I know that sounds all dramatic and pretty much the premise of any self-help book, but here are some things to consider: --It's the only self-help book I've bought again and again so that I could share the wisdom and ideas with my friends (without sacrificing my own precious copy). --While you will find yourself eventually living a gloriously abundant life, the book is designed to meet you at any stage in the process. Start small. Start big. Totally transform your life or just make little tweaks to enjoy life more. --The ideas are transferable to any situation. This isn't one of those books that you will read, thinking that two-thirds of what is said doesn't apply to you. Nope, these are tips with universal application. --It's not overwhelming or scary. You don't have to go in any order. Just pick something and do it. --Plenty of examples and stories to help you "see" how this works in real life. It's also inspiring to hear about other's successes. A couple of warnings: --many of the tips seem so simple and common-sensical that you might be tempted to roll your eyes and toss the book. DON'T DO IT! Even if it seems trivial, give it a shot. Cleaning your bedroom just might be the key to finding love/landing your dream job/resolving old anguish. Don't knock it 'till you try it. And if one idea just doesn't speak to you, try one of Talane's other suggestions. --there is a little bit of redundancy here & there, but it flows adequately with the book. In other words, it doesn't come off like laziness; it feels like these are such important points they bear repeating. --you will probably want to subscribe to Talane's website, buy more more books, and generally implement all of her good advice once you start seeing the benefits. Since reading this book--and re-reading it a few times--I've switched to a higher paying job, completed a graduate degree, bought a new house, made changes in my family life that have greatly increased our happiness, made better financial decisions, and really, truly enjoy each day more as I keep "perfecting the present." And whenever I start to feel some angsty emotional restlessness, I pick up this book again and figure out what I can do to break out and move to the next level.

Bonjour, Personellement, j'ai trouve ce livre utile et sympatique. Il m'a aidé à mettre de l'ordre dans mes priorités et a trouver la confiance pour viser plus haut. Cordialement,

Could not have landed in a better book. Just perfect if you want a change in your life, go for it!

Ich habe die zweite Edition nicht gelesen, aber die erste Ausgabe habe ich lange Zeit bei mir gehabt und immer wieder darin gelesen. Talane Miedaner gibt sehr gute praktische Tipps, um sein Leben strukturierter und zufriedener zu gestalten, um wieder auf den richtigen Weg zu kommen, wenn einem manchmal "alles zu viel wird". Dabei gibt sie psychologisches Hintergrundwissen und allgemeine Erzählungen und Erfahrungen mit ihren Kunden/Patienten. Das Buch ist "amerikanisch" geschrieben, die Erfolgsgeschichten mit ihren Kunden können für Deutsche manchmal etwas zu viel oder lang sein, aber in dem Fall kann man einfach zum nächsten Kapitel springen. Ich habe das Buch mehrfach verschenkt und halte es nach wie vor für ein sehr gutes Coaching-Buch, um sich selbst zu helfen. Nicht umsonst trägt es diesen Titel.

This book is worth it's weight in gold and should be the cornerstone of every woman's library! Please read it if you feel there are not enough hours in your day to get everything done - and put everything in to practice!! Successful women live this way!!
