100 Ways to Motivate Yourself - Change Your Life Forever by Steve Chandler

The Bible of Motivation

This could  be your Bible of motivation!  In the book author Steve Chandler recommends that :' it is not how many books you read it's how many you apply."   He recommends it is better to read one book over and over than to read many books.

Reasons to Buy the Book

In my opinion this should be the book to read.  The strongest reason I think is that author  Steve Chandler overcame addiction  to become a successful author and speaker .  But also there are 100 ideas that are bound to kick-start if you have been in a long term rut .   This book will move you out of your comfort zone and help you make some improvements in your life.

Overcoming Procrastination

 I especially like his motivation  in chapter # 74.  - which is "Do something badly"  - meaning that you shouldn't wait till you're feeling 'just right' to do something that is important.

I have re-read some of the chapters and realized that the first time in reading that the message of some of the chapters did not sink in.  That is WHY you should buy this book.   There are a 100 short chapters with easy to digest ideas.   The writing style is breezy and agreeable.  It is written in a style that is current unlike some early 20th Century motivational authors that use a more stilted , formal style that is common to that time period.
