I really appreciated the real-life examples in this book. So many books tend to have broad generalizations about difficulties and challenges that we face and they don't often have precise, applicable, realistic ways to approach them.
Most people will find themselves in this book - and most likely in some unexpected ways. People are masters at finding ways not to do all the things we proclaim to have as goals: get fit, go back to school, find a new path. This book book points them all out in detail! You will find yourself smiling as you see yourself in some of the examples. The book has a humorous, easy-to-read tone that will inspire you to dump those excuses in the trash for good.
Great book easy read content, very simple and easily understood examples, the words of description of "excuses" the phrases were very eye opening, you were able to say wow that is me- I heard that from a several of the people I bought the book for I also hear I am not going to use a "Cow" I just did not get it done! A great step forward for real accountability.
Quite repetitive. The basic idea is kind of beat into your head...even though they are pretty simple ideas. It's okay but I don't recommend it...skim it at best.
This book is perfect for personal accountability! Great story teller Camilo Cruz!
As a general rule, I am pretty cynical about the self-help / self-improvement genre (due largely to the self-promoting people behind the books, CD's, infomercials, etc.). However, I want to pass along a recommendation for the book "Once Upon a Cow." The substance of these kinds of books is gauged by the impact they have on the reader. "Once Upon a Cow" was recommended to me by a Vistage member of mine who stopped smoking and lost 43 pounds after reading the book. That got my attention.
Once I began to kill my own cows (trust me, you have to read the book), I passed the book along to clients of mine who I thought were "settling" and giving excuses for their lack of success (the economy; their bad luck; the lack of information; the brain-dead competition; etc.) or had reasons why they couldn't do something they know they should do (I'm naturally shy; I'm not wired that way; you don't understand how difficult my business is; it's my fatal flaw - everyone has them, etc.).
The author, Dr. Camilo Cruz, has written more than thirty books and sold over one million copies. Until now, the lion's share of his books have been published in Spanish, and he has a large, loyal following in Latin America. He is now tackling the U.S. market. Dr. Cruz formerly taught college quantum physics and thermodynamics, but writing and speaking have been his passions over the last twenty years.
The book begins with a parable, and it includes a graphic, memorable image that has a powerful application when it comes to identifying - and eliminating - our own excuses, justifications and limiting beliefs.
At the risk of incurring the wrath of PETA, I encourage you to read the book, and begin killing your cows!
