Shift Your Thinking for Success: 77 Ways to Win at Work and in Life by Dean Del Sesto is a motivational book about achieving success. Sometimes books about success feel like they are lacking “meat,” and that they merely consist of a lot of recycled ideas put together. Del Sesto’s book, however, is not one of those books. Each chapter incorporated valuable and inspirational ideas.

I like that the book discusses how technology plays a role in success. I really appreciated Chapter 29, which talks about how we are building both an offline and an online brand in life. The key ideas in Del Sesto’s book are encouraging, and also thought-provoking. I am still mulling over his words, “Until we push the limits of caring in conversation, we’ll never know the value of what may exist there.”
