Be Exceptional: Master the Five Traits that Set Extraordinary People Apart

A very insightful book, full of wisdom. Easy to read and yet touches you at a deep level. I have a number of Joe’s books and this has quickly become my favourite.

Not bad but it manages to say a lot whilst not saying an awful lot. I felt the book could easily have been half the length but there were some interesting moments.

TLDR Version: Excellent, informative read, would suggest to anyone seeking self-improvement, regardless of the type of person they are.Just finished reading this book, it exceeded my expectations, even though I already had high expectations from having read other books by this author. Unlike many self-improvement books, the author doesn't just tell you what you want to hear, he instead sincerely suggests you take a deep look at the problems you have in dealing with others and your life in general. Of course, he also goes a step further by suggesting several solutions to these problems, and how to apply these solutions. He explains all of this in simple and easy to follow along terms, so anyone can pick up this book and get value out of it. Will be suggesting this book to anyone looking for self-help/improvement!

This book is a game changer. you must read it. it has many points which other books don't cover.

Re enforces key foundational pillars of leadership with examples from FBI rather than business examples and motivates one to go above and beyond!

The author does a great job of pointing out the qualities that make exceptional individuals stand out. His focus on the prosocial aspects and the importance of psychological comfort offers a unique perspective on works that deal with the idea of greatness in people. The book is a must-read!
