5.0 out of 5 stars Transformative Insights into Personal Growth - A Must-Read!!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2024
Verified Purchase
John Maxwell’s ‘The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth’ is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone looking to invest in their personal development. Awarding it a well-deserved 5 stars, I found this book to be not just informative but transformative.

Maxwell masterfully breaks down the journey of growth into 15 digestible laws, each one a building block for self-improvement. From ‘The Law of Intentionality’ to ‘The Law of Contribution,’ every chapter offers actionable insights that challenge you to look inward and make intentional changes.

What sets this book apart is Maxwell’s ability to combine personal anecdotes with practical advice, making the concepts relatable and the steps to growth achievable. His writing is clear, direct, and infused with an encouraging tone that motivates you to start applying these laws to your life immediately.

One of the most impactful aspects for me was the emphasis on the process of growth over the destination. Maxwell reminds us that personal development is a continual journey, not a destination to be reached. This perspective shift is empowering and liberating.

‘The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth’ has earned its place on my bookshelf as a guide I’ll return to repeatedly. Whether you’re new to personal development or a seasoned enthusiast, Maxwell’s insights offer valuable lessons for everyone. It’s a book that doesn’t just spark growth; it sustains it.

5.0 out of 5 stars John Maxwell at His Best
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2012
Verified Purchase
I have read many of John Maxwell's books on leadership and personal development. His writings have impacted my life in a big way, and this book is no exception. I think this is the best book he has written.

If you really want to grow spiritually and as a leader, you will benefit greatly from this book.

In Chapter 1, Maxwell deals with the law of intentionality - growth doesn't just happen. Some people don't realize they have to pursue growth, they may not realize how to grow, or they may be waiting for some big event in their life to propel them and inspire them to begin to grow. Some people are afraid to grow.

In Chapter 2, Maxwell covers the law of awareness - you need to know yourself before you grow yourself. You need to know where you want to be before you can get there. This chapter deals with finding your passion and purpose for life. God created all of us for a purpose.

In Chapter 3, Maxwell writes about the law of mirror. We have to see ourselves properly before we can grow. This chapter tells us how to develop a healthy image of ourselves. As a Christian, I believe this comes from realizing how God views me. Practical tips such as learning to defeat negative thoughts about yourself, comparing yourself to others, and living to add value to others are discussed.

In Chapter 4, Maxwell deals with the law of reflection. We have to discipline ourselves to reflect on where we are and what we are doing in order to grow. This chapter deals with the importance of being a good thinker.

Chapter 5 is about the law of consistency. This chapter is about disciplining yourself to follow a routine and being determined not to quit.

Chapter 6 is about the law of environment. Growth thrives in the right surroundings. Change depends on our choices. We must choose to surround ourselves with the right people to grow.

Chapter 7 is about the law of design. Maxwell talks about developing strategies to induce growth. Here, he talks about systems to put in place to make growth happen.

Chapter 8 is about the law of pain. This is maybe the best chapter in the book. As we learn to manage bad experiences right, growth happens. Our greatest gains come from our deepest pains. Don't feel sorry for yourself - embrace problems and see them as an opportunity to grow. A bend in the road is not the end of the road!

Chapter 9 is about the law of the ladder. As we climb the ladder of personal character, growth takes place. Most leadership failures are character failures. Instead of focusing on competence, we should focus on character. Instead of worrying so much about how good we look on the outside, we should concentrate on looking good on the inside. The application part of this chapter is very helpful as Maxwell has us compare the amount of time we have spent in the last year on making the outside look good compared to making the inside look good.

Chapter 10 is about the law of the rubber band. You cannot grow unless you are stretched. Comfort is the enemy of growth and we must be willing to step out of our comfort zones. Don't be satisfied with being average. Embrace change and don't be afraid of it.

Chapter 11 is about the law of the trade off. You have to give some things up to grow up. Give up instant gratification for personal growth. Give up security for significance.

Chapter 12 is about the law of curiosity. We grow by asking questions. We must learn to cultivate curiosity. If you know all the answers, you're not asking the right questions. Every day we should seek to learn something new. He has us to rethink the phrase, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." This can be a dangerous philosophy to personal growth. We must be willing to think outside the box.

Chapter 13 is about the law of modeling. We grow as we follow the example of good models. Seek out a personal mentor to help you grow.

Chapter 14 is about the law of expansion. There is no finish line to growth - we never stop.

Chapter 15 is about the law of contribution. As we grow, we are enabled to help others grow. We should think of ourselves as rivers, not reservoirs. We shouldn't just always take in - we ought to be giving out. This is a very helpful and practical chapter.

Get this book and read it! You will benefit greatly.
