Review by Richard L. Weaver II, PhD.
Using Jim Johnson’s book, The Sixty-Second Motivator, in just 1-2 hours (the time it takes you to read this book), you can learn what it often takes courses, lengthy DVDs, and major volumes to teach. Johnson bases this work on research results (rather than simply on his own personal experiences), but in a friendly, low-key, well-written, enjoyable, easy-to-understand manner, he offers practical tips and valuable insights about why we do and do not do things. This book is more of a story than a collection of facts, and it reads more like a mystery. Do you want to know what makes you “tick”? This 80-page book has the answers. It is value-packed!The Sixty-Second Motivator

Good book. Has a nice basic scientific approach to how to get motivated. If you are unfamilar with the process of getting and staying motivated about anything I recommend you read this very short (70p) and informative book.

I will give this book thumbs up on getting to the point as well as being easy to comprehend, but in the end I felt like there is more to the subject and it has been left out.
What if sixty seconds doesn’t get it? Can one develope a protocol that is sucessfull without cultivating frustration in the motivator? I would like to understand how to let go and come back later after planting a seed.
I understand the man is a professional and needed results now, but as an individual who is struggling with motivation, I would have scenarios that took longer, yet still achieved the desired result. Perhaps an addendum of “What if” situations that had failure initially, yet success at the end with a decription of how the journey was made in the context of more time than a mere minute +.
Of course that’s out of the context of sixty-second motivation isn’t it?
Never the less, the book was helpful and insightful so therefore 3 stars. It was worth the modest price and short time needed to digest it.
Rating: 3 / 5
Essentially, this book says you won’t change your behavior until the right thing comes along to motivate you. In other words, until you really, really want something, or until you are suffering bad enough, you won’t make any real and lasting life changes. Big news, that one! A waste of money.
