In their five-star reviews, Amazon readers are saying:

“Half expected this to be a list of “getting up at 3:30am to do Yoga and prepare my organic quinoa smoothies for the day” routines that I could scoff at. But it is much more useful than that. Each themed (short) chapter highlights some key aspects of a high achievers approach that are very relatable and repeatable. In a real standout, the author then explains his experiences of trying to apply that approach to his life. This is extremely relatable, especially as it highlights when he hasn’t been able to fully follow the practices. The chapters close with some grounded hints on how to apply the approach in your life and a reminder of the key points in each chapter. Delighted to have replace my anticipated scoffs with some real food for thought.” – Stephen Mills

“Truly insightful. Understanding how others cope with stress and anxiety, the tactics and strategies that work for people we know, is enlightening. The real beauty of the book is that it’s not simply observational but practical and focused on what we can all do, quite easily, to help ourselves.” – David
