How Successful People Think: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life (Hardcover) - Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life
Maxwell, John C. 지음 / Center st / 2009년 6월
평점 :
자기계발서. 작가가 참 날로 먹는구나, 라는 생각이 들기도 한다. 책의 반은, 유명인사의 명언이나 좋은 구절들을 뽑은 것이고, 나머지 반은 자신의 생각을 덧붙인 것이다. 이렇게 하면 나도 책 한 권 내겠네, 라고 생각하면서도 별 3개를 주는 이유는, 책의 곳곳에서 포스트잇에 써놓고 내 책상 위해 붙여놓고 싶은 글귀들을 발견했기 때문이다. 특히 간결하고 명확한 문체 덕분에 이해하기도 쉽다. 짜집기도 능력이지 뭐. 게다가 음악 같은 것과 다르게 명언을 싣는 것은 저작권 문제도 없으니까.
