Get Out of Your Own Way: The 5 Keys to Surpassing Everyone's Expectations

A slight extension of "The other 90%" with its own personality. Throughout the book Dr. Cooper reveals subtle examples of how one can get in their own way as well as bold strategies on how to: as the title of the book reads. Dr. Cooper's quoting of Richard Gregory's definition of perception is clear-cut! He states that perception is "a dynamic searching for the best interpretation of the available data". "Get Out Of Your Own Way" is energizing and empowering. Some of the author's life examples are inspiring. The section on "COMPRESS THE TIMELINE" is mind jolting and fascinating and very academic in tone! "Get Out Of Your Own Way" is very humorous as well as heart warming. Two for one deal! In my opinion - two books inside of one. This book will give you a better understanding on getting the balance right on how to separate thoughts of the mind and increase the awareness in you of the existence of intuitive feelings of the heart, your gut, and surprisingly your spine. As you approach the second half of the book - "Key 3" onwards, Cooper really cranks it up several notches. So prepare yourself to roll up your mental sleeves even more! Dr. Cooper's work can lead you to many breakthroughs. This book is very influential. If you lack initiative, it will activate the self-starter in you. Dr. Cooper's pursuit of excellence is very contagious in this book. I strongly recommend this book for those who seek......Change.

This is cutting edge cognitive research, presented in an easily assimilable form, to allow you to reach your full potential. Cooper espouses the advantages of spending a mere 15 minutes per day building your 5-10 year future, and thus, giving yourself the perspective to glide easily through your quotidian problems. Reading this book, and applying it, will yield demonstrable results, even if you only pick up on a few of Cooper's many recommendations. For my money, this is an improvement on "The Other 90%" His elucidation of the brain's (the primitive brain's) tendency to flee the unknown, or challenge, was most helpful: I am now in University, and complements some of the ideas in "The Kaizen Way," Cooper's book being more substantive, however. You will not be disappointed.

If I could give this book ten stars, I would. It has been instrumental in creating some breakthroughs in my life, and I am not even finished reading it. I bought this book because I was going through a slump that had me running around in circles, and getting nowhere fast. Now, I am back on track and making rapid progress. I have difficulty understanding how anyone could call this "fluff". It is substantial, practical information, and it can put you on a path of outstanding achievement, if you allow it to.

This book is a very powerful primer on how your brain works to support you . . . or not when left to run patterns it has already learned. I enjoyed the very clear description of how your brain works and is organized and the layman terms and examples that make this material easily understood and interesting to the average reader. Don't be fooled by some of the reviews, this book will transform you if you read it, think about it, and do the exercises. This is a book about thinking and doing . . . and about getting massive results by controlling brain. I strongly recommned this book for anyone who has consumed dozens of self help books and is still looking for more and I recommend it even more wholeheartedly for those people just beginning the searh. This book is an opportunity to condition and train yourself appropriately the first time. You'll love this book, I know I did.

I like the book. I have read almost as many self help books as Tony Robbins and most repeat things we know we should do in a little different way. The key to all of this is doing it. This book gives you new concepts along with ways to get you doing the things you need to do in order to get out of your own way.
