5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Lessons That Stick With You

A.M. · August 25, 2025

This book is filled with wisdom that feels both inspiring and actionable. John Maxwell breaks down growth into clear principles that are easy to apply to daily life. I appreciated how each “law” builds on the others, creating a roadmap for personal development that actually makes sense. It’s not just theory—there are real steps you can take to move forward in business and in life. I found myself underlining and revisiting sections often, and it’s the kind of book you can keep on your shelf to return to when you need a reminder to stay intentional about growth.

5.0 out of 5 stars John Maxwell at His Best

J. · December 11, 2012

I have read many of John Maxwell's books on leadership and personal development. His writings have impacted my life in a big way, and this book is no exception. I think this is the best book he has written.If you really want to grow spiritually and as a leader, you will benefit greatly from this book.In Chapter 1, Maxwell deals with the law of intentionality - growth doesn't just happen. Some people don't realize they have to pursue growth, they may not realize how to grow, or they may be waiting for some big event in their life to propel them and inspire them to begin to grow. Some people are afraid to grow.In Chapter 2, Maxwell covers the law of awareness - you need to know yourself before you grow yourself. You need to know where you want to be before you can get there. This chapter deals with finding your passion and purpose for life. God created all of us for a purpose.In Chapter 3, Maxwell writes about the law of mirror. We have to see ourselves properly before we can grow. This chapter tells us how to develop a healthy image of ourselves. As a Christian, I believe this comes from realizing how God views me. Practical tips such as learning to defeat negative thoughts about yourself, comparing yourself to others, and living to add value to others are discussed.In Chapter 4, Maxwell deals with the law of reflection. We have to discipline ourselves to reflect on where we are and what we are doing in order to grow. This chapter deals with the importance of being a good thinker.Chapter 5 is about the law of consistency. This chapter is about disciplining yourself to follow a routine and being determined not to quit.Chapter 6 is about the law of environment. Growth thrives in the right surroundings. Change depends on our choices. We must choose to surround ourselves with the right people to grow.Chapter 7 is about the law of design. Maxwell talks about developing strategies to induce growth. Here, he talks about systems to put in place to make growth happen.Chapter 8 is about the law of pain. This is maybe the best chapter in the book. As we learn to manage bad experiences right, growth happens. Our greatest gains come from our deepest pains. Don't feel sorry for yourself - embrace problems and see them as an opportunity to grow. A bend in the road is not the end of the road!Chapter 9 is about the law of the ladder. As we climb the ladder of personal character, growth takes place. Most leadership failures are character failures. Instead of focusing on competence, we should focus on character. Instead of worrying so much about how good we look on the outside, we should concentrate on looking good on the inside. The application part of this chapter is very helpful as Maxwell has us compare the amount of time we have spent in the last year on making the outside look good compared to making the inside look good.Chapter 10 is about the law of the rubber band. You cannot grow unless you are stretched. Comfort is the enemy of growth and we must be willing to step out of our comfort zones. Don't be satisfied with being average. Embrace change and don't be afraid of it.Chapter 11 is about the law of the trade off. You have to give some things up to grow up. Give up instant gratification for personal growth. Give up security for significance.Chapter 12 is about the law of curiosity. We grow by asking questions. We must learn to cultivate curiosity. If you know all the answers, you're not asking the right questions. Every day we should seek to learn something new. He has us to rethink the phrase, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This can be a dangerous philosophy to personal growth. We must be willing to think outside the box.Chapter 13 is about the law of modeling. We grow as we follow the example of good models. Seek out a personal mentor to help you grow.Chapter 14 is about the law of expansion. There is no finish line to growth - we never stop.Chapter 15 is about the law of contribution. As we grow, we are enabled to help others grow. We should think of ourselves as rivers, not reservoirs. We shouldn't just always take in - we ought to be giving out. This is a very helpful and practical chapter.Get this book and read it! You will benefit greatly.

It offers practical and positive steps for personal growth and self improvements.For those who have a bachelors degree or higher, this book is a little too basic.

Profound Advice for SUSTAINABLE Growth!

U.R. · March 6, 2021

Why this book is a must to improve your life-1. Has the potential to change the way you look at life.2. Growth is important for you and tells you exactly how to achieve that.3. Simple yet profound advice which is easily applicable.4. Every law is different and when applied can make you a better person.The long version.This book was one of those books filled with simple and thought-provoking advice that'll probably change your life. Growth is essential to everyone and without it, we humans grow stagnant. Without growth we are mere slaves doing the same thing day in and day out without actually enjoying or reaping the benefits of the thing called life.The book is humbling and quite motivating. All the laws mentioned are profound and simple, so simple in fact that they are very often overlooked. What greatly benefits you, is sticking to these laws, because the benefits compound over the years. Every law is stated precisely with little anecdotes which might help you in applying the said laws to your own life. There is an action plan at the end of every chapter which explains various ways to apply the laws. Do not expect the information to be earth shattering, it is simple, profound and you'll only see their benefits if you apply them consistently.If you are at that point in your life, where you feel low or are unmotivated or are not able to do your work or just lost interest in your life, this book will act as compass pointing you in the right direction. Just read this book whenever you feel low and you'll be amazed at the amount of positivity filled within these pages.I personally found the book very helpful, and I wish I'd read this book at a much earlier stage of my life, well, it's better to be late than never. In all seriousness this book has the potential to change the way you lead your life. Read it.
