8 to Great: How to Take Charge of Your Life and Make Positive Changes Using an 8-Step Breakthrough Process (Inspiration, Resilience, Change Your Life, for Fans of The Happiness Project)

I have a whole library of half-read books sitting on a shelf. This book didn’t even make it to the shelf because I finished it cover to cover! It is a well written book with practical advice for positive change. Scroll no further - this is the one. It presents an easy to follow process that will help you get from where you are to where you want to be.

I've heard MANY motivational speakers in my life, and I've read more self-help and motivational books than I care to admit. Nevertheless, 8 To Great by M.K. Mueller not only synthesizes the best ideas from many of these other sources, she does so in a very easy to comprehend manner AND offers many original nuggets of solid gold. I've used 8 to Great with my program staff. I am preparing to use it with the leadership team at my organization and with our program students as well. I don't know anyone who couldn't benefit from applying the principles in this book.Beyond a doubt THE best comprehensive Life Change PROCESS books I've ever read. Mueller present ancient wisdom repackaged in a way that it is easy digested and applied.Only read this book if you want to apply the secrets known and used by the healthiest, happiest, most successful people on earth! Otherwise, please leave it alone and continue to wallow in the day to day ups and downs always falling short of your dreams.COMING CLEAN... Looking at this review, I realized that it was FAR too sanitized and left out the most significant reason for writing it - my own story.When I met MK in the spring of 2011, I had given up on live, a physical and emotion wreck. Her presentation broke through my depression and apathy and her books and cd's taught me how to dream, forgive, be grateful, and have hope for the future. I have since trained with her and found the courage to pursue a lifelong dream. Thanks to MK, my life has changed in so many ways that I would NEVER have dreamed possible in 2011 and I am now certain that the best of life is yet to come.

I have used MK Mueller's book, "8 to Great", in my Creative Writing II classes and in my counseling work with high school students for 10 years. Students love MK's words and are able to apply her 8 High Ways to their own lives on so many levels. The wonderful steps to a life filled with HOPE and practical ways to be the best version of ourselves are very valuable.There is a push in many schools today to provide a mental health curriculum and I believe this book is the answer to that. I truly have had such remarkable results from using MK's book with students that I want the world to know the power of this "8 to Great" process.This book is not just for high school students. Every time I cover this content I learn something new for myself. I recommend this book to anyone searching for clarity and practical ideas to living a life full of '95 moments.

This book... what can I say where do you find a book that applies to so many parts of your life? I find myself quoting this book on a regular basis. I often help others by using the information I gained through this book. My children are well versed in the highways, as when there is any kind of trouble we are able to use the highways to get us through. When I found 8 to Great life was anything but great and it helped me deal with what I needed to. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is ready to take their power back.

I recently had the pleasure of playing pickle ball with M K Mueller-lucky, lucky me! Being around her is like taking a trip on the 8 High-Ways. I have just signed up for and can hardly wait to take her course 8 to Your Ideal Weight. Thank you, M K, for brightening my life! This is the 6th day of the best of my life. 😊. I can hardly wait to see what “manifasts” next.

Great

A few years ago, we had the pleasure of having this author at our school as a speaker for inservice. The content she presented? The info in this book. It was life-changing! I purchased the book immediately and read it right away. I have read it more than once, and I'm sure I will go back to it again. If you are looking for something to inspire you and instruct you on how to see through your dream, you need to read this book. MK Mueller is an absolute gem.

As a Superintendent of schools, I am always looking for ways to help myself stay positive and looking for ways to help staff and students to do the same. This book hits it right on the mark. Some people are stuck in apathy and self pity and need help finding their direction in life. You can either be a "bucket dipper" or a "bucket filler" and this book helps people realize that this has always been and always will be a choice. No one else will help you change your outlook on life.As a side note, after hearing the author speak to a group of superintendents for two hours, I had to have MK Mueller speak to our entire staff. Not just teachers, but the bus drivers, custodians, cooks, secretaries, and aides. We spent eight hours together and it was well worth every penny we spent. I have seen a change in many of the staff and seven people wanted to become trainers for our students. Now our students are being introduced to "the powerful process for positive change," and our school environment is seeing the benefit.

Loved it. Covers every area of life. Must read to have a well rounded life.

Excellent book
