Brilliant Life: How to Live a Brilliant, Balanced Life

"Brilliant life is an excellent book! I have recommended it to many of my friends. The beauty of the book lies in its simplicity. Short inspiring ideas that can be taken on board immediately without much effort. A book that is written, but speaks like a GOOD FRIEND! Thank you so much, you are brilliant Michael!"

"Buy it, read it, change your life! It's that simple. One of the most accessible and logical to implement personal development books I've read and the only one that has really struck a chord and inspired me to make real, lasting changes. I feel great on it and honestly can't recommend it strongly enough. Do yourself a big favour - buy it, read it and do it!!!"

"I have read Michael Heppell's previous two books, `How to be Brilliant' and `Five Star Service One Star Budget' and found them both highly enjoyable and thought provoking. I was very intrigued to see whether he could maintain the same high standard with this latest release...I needn't have worried - Brilliant Life is the best yet.

The beauty of the book is in its simplicity. I often find with many personal development books that the author over states the point or uses big words to cover badly constructed arguments. However by using the `Wheel of Life' as the focal point for the book, Michael Heppell makes Brilliant Life easy to follow, consistent to use and ultimately a great resource.

This is a book to delve into time and time again and certainly in my opinion, ranks up with the Jeffrey Gitomer's and Tony Robbins' of the world. How refreshing to see an English author succeeding in this field.

"There's the circle of trust. There's the ring of fire. However Michael Heppell's wheel of life is far more practical and useful. In fact, it's brilliant! Michael offers many practical tools - and really, they're brilliantly practical - to help us all achieve a brilliant, balanced life. I've used all eight of the wheels and feel pretty brilliant about it. I actually bumped into an old uni friend last month and he recommended the book. He used to eat a lot of pickled eggs so he didn't have to share a room, so we never really spoke that much. However, he's doing ever so well now and told me that he'd widened his arch of perspective by using Michael Heppell's practical tools and techniques. I'm now converted! The next time I meet up with my old buddy I know he'll say 'have a brilliant life'. I'll say 'you too, pal'!. "

"The thing we call `work-life balance' is essential to a life with contentment and success - mainly for you, but also for corporations whose board members understand and work with this. How you are at work (whatever type of work it is) reflects in your personal life, and vice versa. Here is a book that gives practical and sensible ideas, and questions to make you think about the right answers for you. We're never taught this at school, but we can all agree that focusing only on work will negatively impact our personal life...yet so many of us don't think about balance making us happier.

Another Brilliant book from the man who never stops developing himself and everyone he coaches. It's easy to read, full of humour and beautifully written. Personal development is a being open to constantly evolve, and it's worth having a more fulfilling and satisfying life. As Michael says it's so simple to make changes that have a big impact on a better life - not only for you, but those you come into contact with.

I like this book because it's so straight forward, but don't mistake that for not being clever in it's application. What you don't know in life you can't apply. Reading this book will help you tap into the wisdom of an amazing person who has so much knowledge.

It's refreshing to read in a different way to Michaels other books - you can dip in and out whenever you had a specific need.

A highly recommended thought provoking book. The quotes are great too. The best book to start 2008 with, aiming for balance... one step at a time.
