THINK AND GROW RICH "STICKABILITY" The Power of Perseverance

Joel Fotinos's smooth phrasing provides a steady, easy-to-hear performance of this excellent lesson on perseverance. With his natural-sounding enunciation and low-key enthusiasm, he delivers the author's message that persistence in the face of obstacles is what separates people who succeed from those who fail or settle for mediocrity. Greg Reid's writing does a good job of blending the Napoleon Hill Foundation's classic brand of optimism with up-to-date productivity formulas--strategies such as working well with other people, avoiding procrastination, setting large and dramatic goals, and learning to handle big challenges with equanimity and mental flexibility. Though some of the vignettes seem long-winded, the clarity of the basic message and an excellent reading make this a thoroughly stimulating, top-shelf resource on productivity.
