Some things are wildly popular because they’re wildly awesome. That’s most definitely the case with H. Jackson Brown, Jr.’s 21 Suggestions for Success. You could, literally, stop at each of the 21 “suggestions” and write a self help/self improvement book!
Instead (I mean, who has time to write 21 books?), I suggest spending a little time with each one. Don’t just read the suggestions, hear the suggestions. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. hasn’t just given us a great read, he’s given us an outline that could prove to be life-changing.
