What techniques?
Anecdotes with mix personal experience, sport references and opinion.
No strategies, no depth (most segments are a few minutes long).
Forced myself to finish, unfortunately I did not find it motivational or inspirational. To be fair I expected it to be a book on leadership, which it is only in the sense that leadership is the theme of the book.

Same old "Just be positive with work=success"
Just be positive. When you die people will remember you if you were loving and positive.
Just be it...just do it....look at all these people that did it. They prove that this is the best way and that being positive will provide you with tremendous success.

Lots of small empowering messages but over all fell flat. 'Fact' in the book threw me off "most people die at 9AM on Mondays, people are doing going to work"
Looked it up for US stats: most people die at 11AM on Saturday.

If you enjoy listening to a narcissist buy this book
Doing my best to give this book the benefit of the doubt I took a break at the end of chapter 6. I am less than 5 minutes into chapter 7 and I’ve had enough of listening to this guy repeat over and over all the sports teams he’s hung out with, their success, the business success of executives, the words can’t, won’t, don’t and the CONSTANT I AND ME! There is no constructive or meaningful content in this book. Save yourself time, money and your audible credit and buy a coloring book. You have a lot more positive to gain from coloring in the lines instead of listening to this garble.

The message is good
The message is good with many good points. However, the reader is hard to keep up with and seems in a hurry where inflection and pause would allow the message to better resonate. This is probably more enjoyable in hardcover print.

I really enjoyed the book. It felt like a good mix of Dale Carnegie and Zenger/Folkman. Get results, but be positive about it.
I only gave it four stars because of the many references to the power bus. We get it, you wrote another book.

Another Awesome Book!
Jon Gordon’s voice is like taking a Positive Vitamin. If I could package and sell how Jon inspires me in vitamin form, I’d be a millionaire.
He reminds me that my attitude and my perspective are completely dependent upon me.
Jon will give you tons of twitter and word swag fodder in this book with example after example of how to think, speak, and act.
A must read for anyone who wants to grow whether you consider yourself positive or not already.
