How to be Brilliant

"This stood out for me in a bookshop as I embarked on a long rail journey one day. I started and couldn't put it down; then I had to get the train - so I bought it! For me this is a pick-me-up type book. The concepts are not new to me, but the humour and pacing keep you reading and I use it as a boost for positivity and creativity. I have no idea if Mr Heppell is exhausting to be around, but I bet he is thought provoking and able to light up a room when he has to. A great book for going back to again and again and reminding yourself that brilliance is a state of mind which you can share with others."

"Rareley does a book do exactly what it says on the cover, this does!! This book is full of light bulb moments and is a real page turner. Its an easy book to read and digest, and it really is an inspirational read.

I reccomend this book to ANYONE who wants to be brilliant in all and anything they do. You really have got nothing to loose and everything to gain by reading How to be Brilliant, invest in this book and you invest in yourself!!

BE BRILLIANT... "

"I read these reviews and bought the live CD as I have a lot of books and fancied listening to a live event for a change. I liked the guys style but after listening to the whole CD (including adverts at the end) I felt there was nothing much new or really anything you couldn't work out for yourself and where were the exercises?
I can sum up the whole talk up in a few points.

Don't just do things averagely or even really well - go the extra mile and do them brilliantly.
Do a lot right now and you will see a lot of results
Think positively not negatively.
Imagine and visualise yourself doing things brilliantly.
Don't do everything yourself - get a great team of experts working for you.

And that is it really. I am sure if you do those things it will be good for you, but I know that. If I pay for someone's expert advice I would expect a bit more than them being very up beat and telling me to be brilliant.

Make up your own mind how much you money you want to spend on getting that information.

Not greatly impressed.

"i am quite awful when it comes to self help books: i have about 20 of them at home and this is the only one i have actually finished because i wanted to. It was easy to read, very enjoyable, just as listening to someone talk to you.
for the first time EVER i took a pen and got down to doing the exercises: the goal settings, the values, the brilliant me, I did them all.
I have fallen in love with this book and the fast pace in which it is written. Micheal Heppel encourages the reader to take responsibilty to BE brilliant, to look into their beliefs and to make things right for you again in a easy to handle accessible way. I still think very often ofsome passages in the book that really hit home, such as a good job is the minimum expected of me. or september 2001 was a good time to fly.
this book has really touched me and has worked for me: i am half way through me 90 days plan and already things have changed around me.
I thouroughly recommend this book to any body would would like to make themselves brilliant!!!"

"I have read a few books of this genre. This is the only one that stopped me sleeping - in a good way. I found that I was reading until the early hours a few nights running. I finished the book as well, which doesn't happen that often for me with this type of book.

The proof is in the pudding as they say, so here is my story from tonight. At the end of last year I challenged myself to lift all of the weights on a particular machine in the gym, 100 Kilos. A weight that felt at the time like pushing against a rock. The most i had managed was 70 kilos and that was a struggle. I then didn't lift for 4 weeks. I gave myself until March this year to do the 100. Tonight going in cold after Christmas, I used some of the 'mind' techniques in the book - and I managed to lift the 100 Kilos - for two repetitions. Can't wait to see what other brilliant achievements I will have in other areas of my life.

What can I say? - Buy the book."
