My review:
This is a quick, easy to follow read derived from material in Maxwell’s previously published book, ‘Thinking for a Change’. Maxwell characterizes thinking into eleven distinct types. He discusses the benefits and how to embrace each type of thinking in an outline format. Some of the eleven thinking types he unveils include focused, creative and possibility, among others. I really enjoyed the chapter on practicing unselfish thinking. It was very insightful and eye opening.
This book is compact and would be perfect for slipping in your purse or car to read while waiting in line or when you have a few extra moments. I recommend reading only a chapter at a time, reviewing the highlighted points and taking time to absorb the content. If you enjoy self-help and leadership books, ‘How Successful People Think’ is for you.

I can’t say there is one genre I read most often. I recently read the Twilight books and can’t seem to find another book I can even finish because they were so good and other books don’s even compare. I do like self-improvement books as well.

My favorite genre would be horrors like Stephen King. Thanks for the chance.

I read mysteries a lot, and, I’m not sure what genre they are, but I read books by Fannie Flagg, Billie Letts, etc whenever I can. I also read young adult novels, such as the Twilight and Harry Potter series.

I don’t know that there’s a specific genre that I read most often (never actually thought about it), but I know it would probably hover somewhere around YA and supernatural/preternatural dramas.

I read historical fiction novels most often. They are my gateway books, after one of those I’m susceptible to any genre.
