Motivational Books

[ABM]

I just ordered Tony Dungy's Quiet Strength: The Principles, Practices, and Priorities of a Winning Life.

It appears to be a worthwhile read. Has anyone read it? Thoughts?

Thanks

The problem that I have with "motivational" books is that it's a lot harder to put their motivational tactics/ideas/etc. into actual practice than it is to read them, understand them, and agree with them.

Carnegie's "Hot to Win Friends and Influence People," sold 15+ million copies. Just going out on a limb, but I'd assume that all of the 15+ million readers weren motivated to become 'successes' in life, but a few weeks later they continued to live their lives the same way your or I do.

Life motivation has to come from a truly personal place.

This. Your new love will motivate you far more than some author capitalizing on your desire for self improvement.

Never hurts to read other ideas though.

I like to read positive things....other people's successes and/or ideas....whether I embrace/employ their offerings, or not.

There's plenty of trash to read/see in the world. I chose the alternative.

Well there ya go.

Not just how to shoot, but about dedication. Which speaks to people being motivated for a short while (not dedicated!).

Posting this here says otherwise.

I like reading the Bible for motivation. But that's just me.

I read the Bible every day. Not just for motivation, but also as a compass for living life, itself.

My boss handed me this book. Looks like it has some good insights in it.

"Into" isn't the right word. How about... Um... "Standing behind a large pair of?"
