212 The Extra Degree: Extraordinary Results Begin with One Small Change

Simply, elegant, actionable -- one degree can make all the difference.Some criticisms of the book focus on the lack of need for it -- the authors address this on page 2 -- if you fully absorb and integrate the concept, you don't need to read any more. Just go out and execute it.I like the book, and I like having a physical copy as a reminder, a refresher (I'm old-fashioned, I bookmark the pages that particularly resonate with me) and I like having something to physically share with someone else.If your instinct tells you to check it out, do it.

This book is a very easy and enjoyable read. The insights and stories are motivating. Read this book from a friends recommendation and it was definitely worth it! Have already applied some of the principles while coaching youth sports. The real light bulb moment was seeing and understanding how the friend who made the recommendation has been applying this way of living in our friendship.

This book is required for me to read for my Food Science class this semester. I was not sure what it was going to be about, but the title intruiged me. As I got to reading, it truly inspired me to be a better student, girlfriend, and daughter to my sick mother. I will take away a lot from this book. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to go the extra mile, as it inspires and gives advice.

PROS: The premise of this book makes it great for motivational moments, and you can read it cover-to-cover in less than 20 minutes. I've used the intro in two organizational presentations and both times, it has spawned lots of discussion. The 212 concept is developed enough that it can be easily merged into a variety of industry areas and adapted for different audiences--professional, personal, religious, etc. CONS: I bought it after I scanned the first few pages, and was a little disappointed to find that the content gets a little watered down as the book progresses. It starts to become a collection of motivational sayings without any additional substance. One of the "chapters/sections" is only 2 pages long, and I kept thinking, "did they leave pages out?" OVERALL: The beginning of the book is powerful, and the concepts will stick, so it's well worth it's tiny pricetag!212 The Extra Degree

A short motivational book with a great message. We give this to each of our grandchildren on their sixteenth birthdays and its a big hit. Gift it you won't be disappointed.

Good message that is simple and brief yet quite powerful when applied to sports. Decent examples of how a little more effort leads to significantly better results. I am applying this info to coaching a high school XC team so we will see if it is easily applied, followed, and heeded. I would have rated it a 4 star if there had been a bit more depth to the material

This is my go to gift book when I want to encourage someone. It is a super quick read and the analogy to boiling water is so simple yet impactful. I've lost count of how many times I have given this as a gift. Everyone who I have shared it with always loves it.

This book quickly sums up simple ways to bring positive change into your everyday life. It was with the time for the quick read.

Good book to Gift and read also

There are a lot of books available about similar topics and this one is, in my opinion, one of the emptiest ones. It seems the author to forget the purpose of his own book: The 1 degree more that makes the difference. This book is overestimated and you do not receive value for the money.

Book received in good condition. Great inspiring read.
