The starting point of Brian Tracy’s new work, the Million Dollar Habits could not be simpler: if someone does what successful people do, eventually he will become successful. Success has nothing to do with luck: anyone can become successful by simply following the habits of those who are successful. Brian Tracy also states that nobody was born with these habits: everyone learns them at a certain point.
The Million Dollar Habit gives a simple, 7-step formula of how to create a new habit. Bran Tracy states that a new habit can be learned in a relatively short time: in two or three weeks. The learning process is not very complicated, it only requires self-discipline. Brian Tracy warns everyone that learning a new habit doesn’t mean only reading about it: it also has to be applied and practiced regularly.
The book covers a wide range of subjects related to success, from health to wellbeing and positive thinking. Brian Tracy dedicates separate chapters to subjects like how one can earn more and get promoted faster, how to become successful in marketing, how to organize the daily schedule more effectively, and what are the habits of the most successful businesspeople. Each chapter ends with 5 to 8 action steps that you can take to learn the new habits.
Reviews say that the book has a detailed scientific approach: Brian Tracy doesn’t make big promises. Instead he cites well-known psychologists and authors to sustain his statements. The book is an easy, but exciting read. The only negative thing readers say about the book is that sometimes it is too strict, not leaving room for any compromise. Some readers are also slightly disappointed because some of the habits described by Brian Tracy are very similar, and there are teachings that seem to be replayed from time to time.
