The 1% Solution for Work and Life

My rating: 4+



About the book:
It's that time of the year...people make resolutions, plan for the best year ever to lose the weight, earn the million and put that ring on the finger (or take it off). And just as this book reminds us, about 88% of those people fail to attain their goals, and by the end of the first week of January, only 75% of the resolution makers have stuck to their promises! Talking about motivation...How about aiming to be 1% better every day? This book gives some interesting numbers and puts it all in a different perspective. It's written in form of a story (that I found corny at times), but it's easy to read and to remember, so content wins. Even if you don't like self-help books, read this book, it has amazing facts about those on top so many of us envy. It might be easier to stick to small changes than failing resolutions!

From the book:
You can't be 100 percent better that everyone else, but you can be 1 percent better at hundreds of things.

Everyone who spends time in deliberate practice improves their performance.

There are no shortcuts to excellence. (sorry!)
