I listened to this on audiobook and I honestly couldn't wait for it to be over. I have heard the same exact materials in all of Brian Tracey's other books/audio and didn't feel like I heard much new.
Until I hit the part about how your marriage should be and how you should parent your children. I almost laughed out loud. He makes men out to be complete Neanderthals who aren't capable of listening to his wife and chewing gum at the same time. While I agree that there are a few men out there who have barely picked their knuckles up off of the ground, I find that most of them can, in fact, carry on a decent conversation with their wife.
I checked out after this so I wasn't listening as intently when he was telling me how to parent. Maybe it was good stuff. Maybe not. I'm probably not going to go back to find out.

This book continues to act as a great reminder of what I need to achieve and values I should continue to emulate. This book offers a lot well rounded exercises for you to do deeper reflections on goals. A must read.
Wow. Wow. Where have this book been all my life? This book is the bible of Self-Help, Motivation and Inspiration. Imagine if all the self-help books, success books, motivational books and how-to books had sex, “No Excuses: The Power of Self-Discipline” would be the love child. What a love child it is!

I feel like an evangelist when I start talking about this book, only because this book is guaranteed to change your life if you follow the instructions that are given. Not only is the book written in a clear format but you are given realistic instructions that you can start working on as you read.
What I loved most about this book is that it really makes you take a step back and look at how you have been living and how you can now start living better. The exercises at the end of each chapter requires deep, honest “soul-searching” look at every area of your life. These exercises really go to the core of your problems and make you think on how you can solve them yourself.
Brian Tracy did an amazing job with writing this book, I found myself highlight almost every sentence in this book. I definitely recommend that everyone not only read this book but get it in hard copy and re-read it at the start of every month.

There are some valid points in this book, but it is written from an extremely elitist, money-centric, sales-oriented point of view. The parts about goal-setting and self-discipline are very helpful, but when Tracy talks about people with more money being "superior" and coming in early, staying late, and literally working through lunch, it seems imbalanced.

I didn't enjoy this book. A lot of the advice was contradictory. For example, when discussing being disciplined at work at being successful, he suggests going in an hour early and leaving an hour later, and working through your lunch break. But then... even though you'd be working an 11 hour day instead 8, you're also supposed to exercise an hour everyday and somehow find time to spend quality time with your spouse and family. All good advice, but not feasible on a daily basis, especially if you add a commute to your work day.
Also, his book is incredibly heternormative, refers only to male/female, husband/wife relationships. It is very easy to make works inclusive by using words like "partner" or "spouse" and "person," but it felt like he went out of the way to emphasize the male/female relationship exclusively.
No bueno.

A book that will help me in many ways and everybody should read to live better.
Very good advice, but not much of it's new. The writing feels a little old-school, full of chestnuts you've heard before like "winners never quit and quitters never win." Not so sure about that one. Plenty of bad ideas need to be dropped because the opportunity cost of staying with a bad plan is, like, your life. Anyway, there's not any objectionable content here. The chapter on how to be great at sales didn't speak to me, but the chapter on parenting really did.
