Tips that can be implemented today to become a more profitaleand productive person immediately.
I do not read self help books, but a friend recommended Daniel's The Self Help Addict. I was a bit skeptical, but was quickly won over as he shares his early successes and failures that we all can relate to. What really captured my attention was his detail of pitfalls that every driven perfectionist falls into. I saw myself time and time agin as Daniel shared things that would prevent success in any enviroment. His one comment "Good is Good enough" has stuck with me as too many hours have been lost trying to re-work letters, emails and presentations to perfection, when they have been successful in the past. Daniel's book was an easy read and I found myself for the first time actually highlighting areas that will definitely help me to improve my performance. These are actual real life tips that anyone can put in place today and start profiting from them immediately.

A GREAT BOOK THAT'S WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD (EVEN MORE THAN THAT)
As a reader who loves self-help and personal growth books, as soon as I read the title, I instantly had to get it. Fortunately, with a Kindle it's as easy done as it's said. This is a truly must book for anyone who wishes to accomplish more than they already have. And that's true for almost everybody who wishes to accomplish. This book, written by someone who has read a lot and has interviewed many successful people is a treasure. The wise learn from everyone. And it's important to realize who we would gain the most from learning from. Napoleon Hill interviewed many successful people and wrote the classic, "Think and Grow Rich." The author is following in his footsteps. I feel that anyone who reads this great book with an attitude of taking action will be super grateful to the amazing author.

Omg, this is what I've been doing wrong my whole life!!
Uh oh! Like the true self-help addict I am, I had to read this the second I saw the summary. Turns out Gefen knows exactly what I've been doing wrong my whole life **facepalm**. I haven't finished reading it yet, but I've already found myself thinking about plenty of ways I've misused the self help ideas I've learned in the past.
This book is NOT a summary of all the stuff you've read before, and NOT a stepping stone to selling more books (or conventions or webinars). Self-contained in a short, 2-3 hour read, here's some real advice for the real world in which we live.
I'll try to update this review in a few months to see if it all sticks, but I've got to say.... This one is different: more real, more empowering, more feasible than most of the stuff I've read before. :)
LOVING THIS!!

Open and vulnerable. Shares how to turn struggles into triumphs.
I discovered Daniel Gefen through his podcast. He's incredibly open and vulnerable. In this book he shares parts of his life authors rarely do. He also shares simple actions you can take to grow as he did. His use of "Addict" isn't bad -- that is, he shows how and why he relates to those parts of him and makes them work *for* him. If you're on a path of improving your life, Gefen will give direction, milestones, laughter, and himself.

Stand out book. You won't be disappointed.
One of the best that takes a few shots at other more useless books. Very much a help if you feel like you're still missing something in life.
I'm not even doing the book Justice but I'm recommending it to friends.

Good prescription for keeping your sanity
In all areas of our life we need balance. A healthy respect for what is really important versus chasing every new shiny object that forces its way on to each stage of our life. A must read to help you navigate your true course and make progress in small but meaningful steps to your goals and objectives.

Cool motivational book
Nothing is really new in this book, in terms of teachings, actually everything has been said and repeated... But we have in one place everything we need to get moving from a place of passivity and defence into ACTION! Highly inspirational and motivational, with action steps to get moving and questions to contemplate, well and to the point written, although by a novice in writing; a pleasant surprise, I highly recommend it!

Great read
As a self help addict myself this is a great book and a push in the right direction of no longer being a self help addict but turning myself into a creator and producer rather than a consumer.

Good but not for me
This is a good book which is why I have given it 4 stars, but it didn't apply to me. I think its written more for people in business generally.
