'A very practical book about change, full of tips, all linked to scientific research. So everything is reliable. Ben Tyler is encouraging, personal and very clear -- behavior is key and you should design your environment in such a way that it supports you fully.
Reading The Ladder is almost like talking with a very good friend. The tone of voice and the practical advices urge you to start applying the theories right away. I truly recommend the book for everyone who wants to take a good look at themselves and wishes to start achieving their goals. Your chances of success increase tenfold if you are able to translate your goals to actual behavior. And I want to thank Ben Tyler for summarizing thirty years of research into such a good, compact, readable and enthusiastic book.'
