Book Review: How Successful People Think by John C. Maxwell
How Successful People Think: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life by John C. Maxwell My rating: 2 of 5 stars I’ve read about 70–80% of this book, but I found myself getting bored as I went on. The main issue is the repetitiveness. The first 30–40% delivers the core message well: rational thinking is essential, and it’s what drives action and progress. But after that, the book feels like it’s just stretching the same point across multiple chapters, presenting different “types” or variations of thinking without much refinement. It comes across as filler rather than fresh insight, which makes the later sections feel unnecessary.
