From AudioFile
In a brief presentment full of unforgettable quotes, a leadership expert elaborates material in a former book on the importance of thinking. Narrator Chris Sorenson has the sensibilities and vocal charm to convey Maxwell’s message that life is more rewarding when we think more on purpose and carefully. His reading sounds calmly inspirational but has sufficient zip to add numerous welcome intensity to the author’s low-key wisdom. Along with his trademark optimism, the author delivers a solid analysis of how to use 10 dissimilar types of thinking, which include creative, reflective, strategic, and unselfish cognitions. This is an effective combining of heartfelt encouragement and exhaustive details on thinking habits that any person may adopt to get more out of life. T.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine

Great Little Book By Maxwell
By Michael Taylor
“How Successful People Think” by John Maxwell is a great little book and a timely read, particularly in a day where media and others encourage us to follow our feelings almost to the exclusion of thinking.
The book covers thinking in several areas:
1. Focused thinking.
2. Creative thinking.
3. Realistic thinking.
4. Strategic thinking.
5. Possibility thinking.
6. Reflective thinking.
7. Question Popular Thinking.
8. Shared thinking.
9. Unselfish thinking (get outside yourself!).
10. Bottom-Line thinking.
Each chapter is around 10 pages and usually contains the following that applies to the area of thinking being discussed:
1. Sayings by famous people.
2. Benefits of the particular type of thinking.
3. Principles to apply to improve your thinking in that area.
This is not one of those “touchy-feely” books designed to make you feel good about yourself. If that is what you are looking for, then do not bother to read.
Instead, if you want to improve your thinking in any of several areas, then this book is for you. The narrative flows freely and contains great information to inspire and challenge you.
Read, enjoy, and be challenged. Highly recommended!
8 of 8 people found the following review helpful.You must out think your competition
By Skip Freeman
In today’s competitive global marketplace, to win we must outwit, out maneuver and out think the competition. The world changes daily and new thinking is critical to success in both one’s personal and professional life. Dr. Maxwell reminds us of a statement made by Albert Einstein, “Thinking is hard work; that’s why so few do it.”
What Dr. Maxwell does is show us how to make successful critical thinking a daily habit. That, of course, isn’t going to happen just by reading this book. It is going to happen because one uses this book daily as a “hand book.” It is the right size to easily keep with you in your computer case, keep on your desk and to grab and thumb through revisiting ideas and points on a consistent basis.
I bought a copy for every member of my team. We have been going over a chapter a week in our sales meetings. I recommend it for all sales professionals, managers, entrepreneurs…anyone who wants to up their game!

By D. Rolle
This is a short book that will really turn your head.
John C. Maxwell has delivered countless books on personal development, leadership and growth. Millions of people have found his books and works to be stimulating and I have personally read several of his most recent work.
This book is a recommended read. I highlighted so much of this book! In fact I found myself referring back to several chapters for a more in-depth look at more strategic thinking.
