You may be asking yourself right now, why should I take my time to read this book? I think the late Jim Rohn, one of the most outstanding personal development teachers who taught Tony Robbins, gave one of the most fantastic motives: “If you want to have more, you have to become more. Success is not something you pursue. What you pursue will elude you; it can be like trying to chase butterflies. Success is something you attract by the person you become. For things to improve, you have to improve. For things to get better, you have to get better. For things to change, you have to change. When you change, everything changes for you. Success is just a few simple disciplines practiced daily.” – Jim Rohn. This book aims to teach you the five most essential disciplines of life.
