REVIEW:

The book covers a wide range of topics including: time management, organization, developing the right attitude and effective communication. Farcht discusses success and shows the reader why continuing our personal development is essential to a successful life. He states, "Conscious personal development does not end with High School or with the first job you take. Mental toughness and agility come from being engaged in work and life and learning and developing more of your potential."

Farcht has developed a system that changes people's attitudes and behaviors, and helps them to achieve 30%-100% increase in their business productivity. His book, Building Personal Leadership, is a way for Farcht to share this knowledge with the world.

The section on Time Management was my favorite as that is one of my biggest challenges at work. For those of us that can do a better job at this, he already is ahead of us with a list of why our arguments about why it won't work are useless. I am really trying to use the skills from the section to better organize my time and work more effectively.
