Will It Make The Boat Go Faster?: Olympic-winning Strategies for Everyday Success

Ich habe die Schuhe Anfang September gekauft und sie zunächst für zwei Wochen Urlaub in der Sauna und als Hausschuh genutzt. Dann lagen sie rund einen Monat ungenutzt rum. Seit vier Wochen ziehe ich sie regelmäßig als Hausschuh an und muss jetzt feststellen, dass sich der Riemen des linken Schuhs löst.Die Urlaubszeit eingeschlossen, haben sie also gerade einmal sechs Wochen überstanden. Für den Preis deutlich zu wenig.

Although I enjoyed this book, I was left feeling a little disappointed. The story itself is obviously very compelling - especially with the Gold Medal ending. It is also told very well, and set up each chapter nicely. However, I was expecting maybe a bit more structure to the presentation of the key elements of the "will it make the boat go faster" strategy. Approach and read it more as a story than a management text to avoid my type of disappointment...

I love the style of this book with real examples from Ben and then the concept/theory bit explained by Harriet. A treasure trove of goal setting tips and the layers goals make it really clear to see how people self sabotage. And I thought I understood all about goal setting!

I thought it might be better at getting to the point, but it was endless overly long stories, not for me but would be good if you enjoy that.

A brilliant read combining an amazing account of an athlete striving for Olympic success and practical tips and techniques that came from that journey that you can apply to your life and business.

Great read with transferable skills from the sporting world that can help in your personal and business life
