Excessive Efficiency Habits: How Extraordinary Individuals Grow to be That Method

Guide for Life
This book gives you a basic guide for life and having a successful career which is a monumental achievement after years of research and coaching by Burchard. This book is the real deal. The summary of the entire book, which is only 4 pages, should have been put at the beginning but is at the very end. The book explains that you need to have the habit and skill of 1.) clarity, i.e. goal setting, 2.) Energy, i.e. maintaining physical and mental health through positive psychology, 3.) Necessity, i.e. psychological drive or motivation through identity, 4.) Productivity, i.e. efficient work on your most important field of interest, 5.) Influence, i.e ability to persuade other people or social skills, 6.) Courage, i.e. the ability to control fear and 7.) Confidence, i.e. optimism about your abilities. Burchard goes through and gives his take on the key to each of these skills, but you can get a lot more information from other sources, i.e. this book is just a roadmap to professional development (and Burchard says so much at the end of his book). High Performance Habits (HPH) has a number of bonuses that will exceed your expectations. First, you can log in and take a 5 minute test to find which HPH you need to work on the most. Second, the book goes through the three traps that will ruin your career and/or life, i.e. superiority, dissatisfaction, and neglect, despite your best habits. (Honestly, this section of HPH was truly original and worth the price of the book alone.) Third, you get tons of free online courses on all the  High Performance Habits. Finally, you get the skills to acquire confidence, i.e. competence, congruency, and connecting. High Performance Habits (HPH) does not have all the answers, and I would recommend you look to experts in the individual habits for really in depth knowledge. I would recommend “Succeed” by Heidi Halvorson for “clarity.” I would recommend “Fully Charged” by Tom Rath and “Positivity” by Barbara Fredrickson for “energy.” I would recommend “Find Your Why” by Simon Sinek for “necessity.” I would recommend “Deep Work” by Cal Newport for “productivity.” I would also recommend “The Talent Code” and “The Little Book of Talent” by Daniel Coyle. I would recommend Tony Robbins program “Influence” for the “influence habit.” Finally, I would recommend “Agency” by Paul Napper and Anthony Rao and “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” by Susan Jeffers for “courage.” I would recommend “The Confidence Gap” bye Russ Harris for more information on gaining confidence. This book is a must read and well worth the money. You probably can go and get HPH for free by purchasing the book directly from Brendon Dot Com. Competitive corporations are paying to have their employees trained in these habits so you need to read this book just to stay competitive and up to date. This book was so good I read the endnotes and I never do that. A lot of people criticize the book because a lot of the habits have received attention from other authors but this book integrates and synthesizes all of the self help and professional development work into one cohesive plan to succeed professionally which is new. If you ever wondered whyother people were succeeding around you and what you were missing then this book is for you.Postscript: Burchard has automated the 7 Habits into a new app called “growthday” where you are prompted to stick to the program. There are training videos from experts on the 7 Habits. Burchard has added 3 more habits that you need to be successful. One of them is “Resilience,” i.e. psychological resilience, and that is covered in detail by the book “Build Your Resilience” authored by therapist Donald Robertson. If you find out what the other two are then please leave me a note in the replies below.

Great book to help you improve your daily habits and life.

I found what I wanted in this book, despite just starting it. I recommend it.
