Terrible - This book is over simplistic. An unintelligent book that relies on motivational analogy instead of examples and logic. Don t waste your time on this book if you are looking for a serious read about how to move from idea to action.
Darby Checketts the Motivator - I m especially impressed by the contagious enthusiasm in reading Darby s book, and the tremenduous images one can create of goal completion and personal fulfillment. Of special interest was the idea of getting out the book that is within you. I feel this read has helped motivate me to do that. No one could come away empty-handed from reading this book who has whole-heartedly considered its message. Mike McPheters, Moses Lake, Washington
Darby Checketts is a Master Communicator - I ve read Darby s book again and again. I think the reason I do so is because his book does just what leverage is intended to do, the book lifts me up. It s not about financial leverage or purely business principles. It s about being a leader and finding that to lift others up helps achieve personal goals. A great read! And what a wonderful opportunity to discover the subtle ways in which positive thinking brings the tipping points that help move life in the direction one intends. I ve read a lot of great books by a lot of wonderful authors. Checketts book, however, is one I continue to revisit. Many of the 25 points are energizing and his life experiences he so willingly shares are a legacy.
Not a good book about leverage - Amazon should not link this poor substitue of a book about leverage with Leverage by Ron Pate. Avoid the mistake that I made.
World-Class Leverage - Leverage is a book I will refer to repeatedly for years to come. In it, Mr. Checketts showcases how The Archimedes Leverage Factor applies in every area of our lives. He brings home our ability to achieve our dreams and create excellence in the world around us, while maintaining that critical life-balance that results in true joy. I am enlighted by his wisdom and heart felt anticdotes which illustrated universal principles of good character and success. I highly recommend this book and plan to use it in my own coaching practice. Leverage is a book I can give with confidence to those I teach and love.Thank you, Darby. I have officially added you to my list of personal Heroes and am anxiously awaiting your next book of wisdom.
