The achievement factory is an easy read. The author structures the book such that it is easy for the reader to digest the information.Unlike other self-help books such as ‘Think and Grow Rich’, the book gets straight to the point, saying things as they are. I had read books that go on and on, with the author giving examples after examples. I tend to get bored and skip over those examples anyway.But this book isn’t like that.Right from the first chapter, the discussion of happiness really opened my eyes. Happiness isn’t difficult to achieve, all it requires is a simple change of mindset. Since young, we are told to set far-fetched goals, which is what most of our new year resolutions are made of. But those dreams are often so out of reach that after a month or two, sometimes after just a week, you will have forgotten about your dreams.The author presents a different type of goal setting that I absolutely agree with. Set small, easily achievable goals that will guide you toward your ultimate goal. That helps to keep my focus and makes my ultimate goal seem so much more doable.And throughout the book, the author gives helpful tips on how to apply the principles in the book.This is a great book for anyone who’s looking for some motivation and advice on how to get started on your dreams!
