How does one become successful in life? This answer changes depending on who you ask. Jeffrey Cohen, the author of A GPS For Your Kids Success, believes success is attainable by anyone who has the will to learn about it. In his book, he uses two fictional characters named Mr. Harris and Mr. Johnson to teach lessons about success to readers. Mr. Harris wants to get a job working at Mr. Johnson’s company because of how successful the latter has made it. When Mr. Harris started his interview, Mr. Johnson was not interested in his resume or prior work experience. Does a piece of paper measure how successful someone is? Is there more to it than the amount of income one makes or the number of jobs one has worked? If you answered yes or are unsure of your answer, this book needs a place on your bookshelf.

What I enjoyed most about this book is how easy the lessons are to understand. As someone who has read numerous books in the self-help genre, I can say this one easily secured itself as one of my top three favorites. Subtle hints and suggestions are not used anywhere in the book; each lesson is explained clearly without any jargon. Only one principle is in each chapter, making it easy for a reader to go back and review anything they may not have fully grasped.

My favorite part of the book was the chapter about applying the success principles in one’s life. Once readers learn what they are, the author provides readers with a way to reflect on and use them. I appreciated not only learning about the components of success but also how to apply them with guidance. Readers are not left alone to figure things out; the author truly wants to help with the learning process.

The short length of the book is another commendable feature. Jeffrey chose to tell one story instead of many, which I found relieving and engaging. I can list many other books written using multiple stories to give a single message, but this tactic seems to confuse readers. Mr. Cohen wanted to teach success straightforwardly, and this book is proof that he achieved his goal.

There was nothing that I disliked about this book at all. There was only one grammatical error, indicating the book is professionally edited. This title deserves a perfect rating of 4 out of 4 stars. Readers wanting to learn about the principles of success will likely enjoy this book the most. Even though it was written with a teenage audience in mind, I believe young adults who just graduated college or are starting a new career path will like it as well.

Thank you for the well-written review. I found it to be insightful. I would be interested to know the author's background to learn why they wrote a self-help book. Though I enjoyed reading your review, I do not think this book would appeal to me.

I'm glad I came into this book because it appears to be both insightful and educational. I'll not only put it on my must-read list, but I'll also read it because I believe I need some advice on how to be successful. This is an excellent review. Thank you very much.

So glad to come up with this book where I read about Jeffery. Jeffrey chose to tell one story instead of many, which I found relieving and engaging too.
It was really nice and quoting about the author
