Review:
You Can Win is marketed as a must have for all the success-hungry professionals. And it has transpired to become a handbook for all the Business-graduates. The book begins with Shiv Khera's trademarked line 'Winners don't do different things, they do things differently', and is a sign of things to come. The book has sold more than 1.2 million copies in the world, this testifies the fact that a lot of people are feeling lost as where there career would lead them.
The book outlines the dos and don'ts pertaining to the attitudes that make one's career grow or slow. The importance of carrying the right attitude is stressed upon in plentitude, with the help of relevant instances, real-life stories and witty one-liners. The goal of You Can Win is to transform an individual into someone who has developed all the qualities required to excel and climb the corporate ladder without any digression. The book lays out a straight and clear path, which requires your co-operation in order for it to work for you.
You Can Win helps you realize that dwelling on failures or treating it as a negative attachment will hamper your attribute of seeing things clearly; it makes you work towards turning failures into cues for future success. At times, you will find the book trying to chew more than it can swallow; the author tries to cram too much information in a page. The book is extremely resourceful for those who believe in re-inventing the wheel.
The author has made a career out of delivering motivational speeches and is a well known speaker at conventions of many major Corporations. His words carry the magnitude of that of the The Last Judgement in the eyes of worshippers of this book, metaphorically speaking. The pitfall of this book is in setting the priority of the chapters in order they were to appear, the last chapter Values and Vision should have been the first one, as it holds the clarity of the goal. The means are overly described and can be found treading on the lines of claiming to be all-inclusive. You Can Win has no control over the experiences that you encounter on your way to achieve your goals but it has worthy pointers that might help in dealing with those experiences.
