I enjoyed this book as I do all of Maxwell's books. This one dealt with getting past the notion that there are limits on our abilities and as usual done in an easy to digest writing style that Maxwell uses while also gut punching you into action.

I love maxwell. He is such a solid leader, but this book is just a bit different than normal because I really feel like he worked hard to get us out of our comfort zone in order for us to hit our capabilities. I love his stories and motivational talks, but I just felt like he was really real and full of challenges in this book. I really needed this book in my life. I am so glad i read it and thankful that I got it. Good stuff.

Another wonderful book by John Maxwell. There are so many areas that can be improved on so you can be more effective as a person. John Maxwell's book is amazing.

John Maxwell challenges me in his motivational writing to enlarge my capacity in every area of my life. John’s wisdom inspires me to live beyond my own limitation. There is no limitation in our life, we are the only one who set the boundaries to achieve more.

A must read book for everyone who wants to be successful in their life.

Thank You NetGalley for this book

I've been looking for a book on this subject for a while, and when I came across this book I was really excited. I am grateful to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. It felt like every word had been written exclusively for me.

I am a huge fan of John Maxwell's books, but unlike most of the others I have read, which were more geared towards business executives, this book is for anyone looking to expand their capacity and achieve more with their life. I think it would make an amazing graduation gift for anyone stepping into the world, giving them essentially a tool kit to develop "success skills". Although many of the skills and topics touched on in the book have been written about elsewhere, the author bestows his unique perspective and draws on decades of experience. Anyone who reads the book will be inspired, not just to imagine more productivity and success, but will have concrete tools and action points to "blow the cap off their capacity".

If you are feeling down, all you need to do is pick up a John C. Maxwell book and you are guaranteed to become empowered fast. To me, there is nothing greater than the mini pep talks on every page.
So many books encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and work on learning new things. In this latest work by the management genius, Maxwell tells you how to increase your capacity by concentrating on things you are good at. I found this refreshing and unique. Most of us take our strengths for granted and concentrate on things we struggle with, hoping to get better at them. Imagine if you worked on things you ARE good at; how much better would you be with practice?
Some of Maxwell’s suggestions are easily implemented, such as always assuming there is a solution to a problem, discussing your ideas with mentors before they are “perfect” and using your gifts to help others who may need a push forward.
I believe you are always learning and growing. Maxwell holds the same view – no matter what you are doing, there are always things you can take away to benefit either yourself or others. His writing style is clear without being preachy, with generous examples thrown in using real people and actual situations.
On every page you can find a phrase or sentence that can be used as a daily affirmation or work focus point – which is the golden part of this book. I fully intend to buy a hard copy and highlight the things I find valuable.
The author’s love of inspiring others shines through loud and clear. He has created an empire of empowerment with his books and lectures, and you can tell he truly loves his fellow man. No one cares more about your personal growth than Maxwell, and that is refreshing. He’s like a businessman’s Mr Rogers – no judgement, always upbeat and full of confidence.
Simon Sinek is all about the “why”, while John Maxwell is about the “how”. The combined information from these books creates a powerful message for managers, which in turn creates a harmonious and wondrous work message for staff.
This latest book is truly a winner!

I came to know about John C Maxwell through his five levels of leadership talk online. Sometimes I try to see, which way the cars are parked, to find out about employee engagement.

In this book, 'No Limit's John C Maxwell, shows how you can overcome all the limits you place on yourself. His examples are very peppy. Starting with the mismatch of pan and fish anecdote, Maxwell shows we limit our expectations and hence abilities.

You can learn many lessons through this book. Its Maxwell's personality to make you listen up and even one lesson can change your life if appropriate for your situation.

John Maxwell is a man with wisdom. Love his books and this one is no exception.

Expands the perspective of our ability to be more successful!
This is the first book I read of the author and I found it very warm and landed; the content is based on the process and mastery that he himself has experienced. It is written with an excellent balance between valuable content and interesting anecdotes, which allows a fluid reading. It conveys a very consistent message, excellently well articulated, there are no words of filling but relevant information, there is no doubt that it is a talented communicator. The information made a very positive impact on me, it covers the subject masterfully from a very broad perspective towards a detailed, concise, very clear development, with valuable information.
Everything is focused on providing us with tools for the development of all our innate capacity, not only for the talents we recognize but also for the ones we do not see or even talents that we want to acquire. It expands our perspective, since our conditioning generally allows us to achieve comfortably within a reality box, but the truth is that it only represents a fraction of what we are capable of.
In the first part he provides information to help us to be aware of our capacities in the frameworks: physical-energetic, mental, emotional, social, creativity, productivity, leadership. It exposes an equation to maximize our capacity, in which we require to be aware, to develop our abilities and to execute the responsibility to make the right choices. The content is focused on the model of equipping people to help them work with their strengths. It then gives us valuable information to determine our "How", and focusing on each area to develop and take action, is how we break the limits of our ability. It is then that he explains to us in detail ten key areas, where through realizing life choices we expand our capacity, and to further expansion greater success in our lives.
My gratitude to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

As Long As You’re Breathing, You Have Places To Go And Ways To Grow

In NO LIMITS: BLOW THE CAP OFF YOUR CAPACITY, John Maxwell presents a giant assortment of hugely encouraging ideas. Here’s the theme of this book: To really grow your capacity, you must be AWARE, DEVELOP ABILITIES, and make right CHOICES. Here’s how the author puts it:

AWARENESS + ABILITY + CHOICES = CAPACITY

After just a few minutes of reading, I actually felt more optimistic. Plus, it was obvious to me that the author really wants to help the reader.

NO LIMITS is not just a “think positive” book. It’s very much an ACTION book. In fact, at the end of each chapter, are a series of questions to ponder. The idea is to apply your own situation to the “Capacity” questions—and then take action.

The author presents a list of “capacity” areas, and how best to improve them. If you’re not very creative, John has an entire chapter focused on improving creativity. Out of energy? There’s a whole chapter on that. Have trouble thinking deeply—better read the chapter on deep thinking.

Keep in mind that there is a LOT to absorb in this book. I found it best to read some of the chapters, then pause to just let the points “sink in.” When I read the book, I bounced around a lot, selecting chapters that I thought would be most helpful to me. For example, I zoomed in on the section called, “Energy Capacity—Your Ability to Push On Physically.” Here, the author suggests ways to discover what is draining your energy, and then ways to find what boosts your energy.

Another great chapter was on TALENT, and using your gifts and abilities the best you can. The author recommends forgetting the “Anything is possible” myth. “Gallup has proven with their studies on disengagement in the workplace that the anything-is-possible myth has led to many people spending years fighting uphill battles by doing what they’re not good at.”

Rather than wasting time in your weak areas, focus on what you are gifted at: “Why not figure out what your natural strengths are and develop those for the benefit of yourself and others? “

Much of NO LIMITS involves stories and anecdotes about the author and his own experiences. We hear, for example, how John got the LOWEST score in a class measuring creativity. “In 1965, I was a freshman in college. One day in my Psychology 101 class, we were tested for creativity, and when I got back the results, I was shocked to learn that I had tested at the bottom of my class.”

Well, that would have been a real ego-buster!

So all in all, I found NO LIMITS to be a fun, encouraging read. I would have liked to see concise “bullet point” at either the beginning or the end of each chapter. That would have made the read a little bit easier. The book concludes with this affirmation:

“I believe in you, and I believe in your ability to reach your capacity.”

I was really excited as I started this book. I have always grown through his teaching. As I began i was so moved and excited, my heart started beating really fast this this is the word I was looking for. God put this in my path at just the right time. As soon as I am financially able I will be going through his training for Life Coach. Meanwhile I will be working my way through this one along with pen and paper and much prayer.
