Motivation will no longer be a problem for me!

What made the experience of listening to Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success the most enjoyable?

It was crammed full of really useful hints and tips that I could see myself actually putting into practice - so many books give you information, but it is just too difficult to do that you continue to procrastinate!

Have you listened to any of Joshua Mackey’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I have, I am a bit of a Mackey fan, and yet again he delivers a great performance that makes the details sing out.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I felt quite excited, and am enjoying putting some of it into practice - which I guess is a good thing as it was all about Motivation!

Motivation 101!

If you could sum up Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success in three words, what would they be?

Inspiring, Informative, Enlightening

What did you like best about this story?

As someone who has struggled with motivation at times this was a book I was eager to listen too.The thing I liked best about it is that the author doesn't just throw out fancy cliches, he actually goes into details about how and why motivation is important to us.The book is comprehensive in covering all aspects under the topic of motivation and it really does a great job of driving home, not only why motivation is important, but also how to maintain it.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed the section in which 10 different techniques to help stay motivated were detailed. In particular, the part that talked about how useful goals can be for ensuring this.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, the book flows very nicely and is very absorbing. The depth of details it provides makes fascinating listening.

Any additional comments?

Motivate yourself and get ahead in life

I found the advice in this audio-book really helpful, especially the step by step guides on how to set and reach goals, and how to use motivation to create more productive routines. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on influencing, which included techniques on how to influence and convince others and yourself. The audio-book left me with a feeling that anything is possible with motivation - highly recommended!

Superb: for lack of a better word.

Where does Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have listened to six books so far. In terms of audio quality, well all the books share the same narrator so they rank almost the same. in terms of content, then this book ranks second. Why? as much as i don't like long books, they was just enough space for more real life examples. I wouldn't mind a sequel

Who was your favorite character and why?

Hmmh, this is not a storybook.

Have you listened to any of Joshua Mackey’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Like i said before, i hardly noted any difference

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I am hard hearted ;(

Any additional comments?

A very inspiring book. One of the best personal development books I can remember reading.

My main criticism is that it could use some guided process to help elicit your goals and the qualities you want to live by instead of just telling you to write them down. I'd also like more real world day-to-day examples of how to put these ideas to use... things that take the conceptual 10,000' view and bring them down to ground level.

Listen your way to success!

Motivation is a great listen that says what it does on the tin. With his usual enthusiasm, Joshua brings the content to life, as he moves through it at speed, with oodles of light and shade. The content is comprehensive, building on the foundation of a breakdown of what motivation is, through to a wide range of motivational theory. It then explores self-regulation, dealing with and working through the stress response, and ends with a huge number of motivational examples and tools.
This book is a little nugget of goodness for anyone struggling to find the impetus to push through to solutions for life's problems. For me, the best moment was a link to the concept of tapping, which I hadn't previously been aware of but have found to be unusually effective in combating stress.

Feeling motivated

I found this book extremely helpful on a personal level. I have always struggle with maintaining motivation and I found this very inspiring. It gave me a number of tips to help me maintain dedication and commitment to achieve my goals.
It has a number of inspiring quotes from famous people that I would consider very successful, that I have taken note of to reread when my motivation may be low.

Ironically...

...all this audio made me want to do is turn it off.
I'm fairly motivated and am always looking for books to nudge and help and boost motivation and discipline. It's not something one should ever stop looking to improve but this book is simply a series's of " maybe you can do this, it might be worth trying that, go to YouTube and look at this clip..."
Then there's the outdated references to how inspiring Lance Armstrong is.
Honestly, don't get this book if you're looking for real motivation. It glosses over far too much and there are far better options out there.

Get up off that couch!

What made the experience of listening to Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success the most enjoyable?

Everyone has trouble with motivation. I am just as guilty as anyone else. I would much rather sit on the couch and watch my favorite show and after having my baby, one who just loved to cuddle and not move all day, my motivation was pretty much gone. After some time, I realized that I needed to make a change in my life. The tips found in this guidebook are great for getting you up and moving. Rather than talking down to you and making you feel like you are worthless, it goes from your side of the story and helps you along the way.

Get Motivated Today, Rather Than Tomorrow!

Carrying the popular theme of empowerment, engagement, and encouragement, Ace McCloud continue the tradition of great writing with this book on motivation. I, like many others I am sure, tend to be motivated to do something but we end up procrastinating and waiting until later. And of course, most of the time later never comes and tomorrow is ever elusive. McCloud makes it easier to say yes and to stay motivated by implementing the tips, ideas, and methods that he puts forth in this book. I found them easy to understand and most importantly they are easy to apply to my day to day life. I have already begun to use some of what I have learned and I am seeing the difference! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain so say yes and find your motivation today, rather than tomorrow.

The most powerful motivational book!

If you could sum up Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success in three words, what would they be?

The three words I would choose are inspirational, informative, and helpful!

What did you like best about this story?

All the helpful tips and information that Mr. McCloud supplies in this book. For those who want to up their motivation, or help others get motivated, this audiobook is a must have. It really helps you gain more motivation and stay motivated.

What about Joshua Mackey’s performance did you like?

Joshua Mackey has a strong voice that demands your attention while he reads. I think that's great when buying an audio book, especially such a helpful book as Motivation by Ace McCloud!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I think that would be chapter two; which is motivation and self-regulation. Learning about the self-regulation theory helped me understand my motivation, and even my willpower. It also taught me simply to, like Ace says in the book, "stop buying little things to turn that money into something I could buy that is bigger and nicer".

Any additional comments?

Ace McCloud is a guru when it comes to self-help. Whether its for physical issues or to help you make your life better, each book he puts out makes a difference in your life. With motivation, I find this book is incredibly helpful and can change my life. I feel it can change the lives of others as well, if they follow the tips and study the information supplied in this book. Mr. McCloud is a talented author and does his best to help those around him. He sure helped me improve my motivation, my health, and my life!

Staying Motivated is simpler than you think!

Where does Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is second only to the Leadership audiobook by Ace Mccloud. They go hand in hand with one another, as becoming a leader is only possible if you're motivated enough to make it happen.

What does Joshua Mackey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Joshua Mackey, as always, reads things in a clear, concise fashion. You really can't ask for much more.

Any additional comments?

If you're having trouble achieving your goals or changing your lifestyle, then you NEED this book. It lists everything you need including helpful tips and the thought processes you'll need to stay motivated. Stop wasting your life away, and grab it before you miss out!

Great strategies for getting motivated

This was a really great audio that is filled with solid advice and strategies for getting and staying motivated. I didn't realize that motivation was like exercise... you need to do it on a consistent basis. I really liked the section on personalizing your own plan for getting and staying motivated and the quotes where really good. It also had some great habits for staying motivated and some inspiring stories as well. Definitely recommended.

Learn to Motivate Yourself for Success

What did you love best about Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success?

The book gives a multitude of suggestions, exercises and life style changes that will help you motivate yourself to do just about anything you want to do. It is very uplifting and all the suggestions are practical and doable. Some suggestions are common sense, but others you never would have thought of by yourself like doing visualization exercises or looking at things from a different angle.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success?

I really enjoyed the chapter on Motivational Roll Models. It takes different popular people in the limelight and explains how they motivated themselves to be a success. It includes people like Thomas Edison, who failed 1000 times before he actually was successful with the light bulb, and Maya Angelou, the prolific and profound poet of our century.

Have you listened to any of Joshua Mackey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to Joshua Mackey's performances many times and I am never disappointed. His voice is easy to listen to and he always sounds enthusiastic about everything he reads.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Some of the motivational quotes are very moving and motivating. They help you to get off your rear and start doing something to change your life.

Any additional comments?

The book gives you several valuable techniques that will start you on your way to being motivated and to help you motivate others. It goes into detail on types of motivation and discusses theories that are associated with motivation techniques. It helps you to develop an action plan to start your way on becoming and motivated and teaches you how to avoid and conquer obstacles that might stand in your way.

Improve your life with the power of motivation!

Would you consider the audio edition of Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success to be better than the print version?

I have to say, I do love to read but I really enjoy being able to sit back and listen hands free to the audio. I could be doing house work, driving in the car, taking a trip or even going for a run and all the while listening to this book. I think the text is great too though because some people are visual learners.The term "snuggle up with a good book" goes back to when we are children and were read bedtime stories so I think this is a great book to snuggle up with and read. So I don't think the audio is any better then the text, I love both!

What other book might you compare Motivation: Master the Power of Motivation to Propel Yourself to Success to and why?

I think Ace's book on leadership compares to this book on motivation in a way that being motivated and being a leader can both take you far in life. You have to be motivated to be a leader and and in a way you kind of have to lead yourself into being motivated.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

We all have the power to be motivated. We just need to learn to tap into that impulse.

Any additional comments?

I love self help books! The narrator is great and I really enjoyed listening to this book.
