Eat That Frog Book Review

This is a review site! Click Here to visit the Eat That Frog webiste


The frog of the author’s description are those tasks you would gladly want to push across to the waiting arms of tomorrow. Those tasks you never wish to touch if a chance of escape presents itself. But according to the author-Brian Tracy, these are the tasks that ensure your vision of tomorrow is right and to the point. In short, these tasks ensure you see a secure tomorrow right from today. For these reasons and more, the author urges us to eat that frog or forget our craving for success in life.

And as you think through Tracy’s statement in his easy-to-read and easy-to-practice productivity manual, Eat That Frog, you soon find out you have at long last broken entirely loose into 21 maximum ways to crush that old time thief that goes by the name Mr. Procrastination once and for all.
Throughout the Eat That Frog book, Brian Tracy offers 21 logical steps to manage time and organize assignments. Each step includes several chapters that are accompanied by practice exercises.

The steps focus on three cardinal factors for achieving success in every facet of life: decision, discipline and resolution. In this connection, the book successfully enlists a superb guide on scaling the barriers of laziness and also to stop procrastinating – breasting the tape of success. Tracy helps the reader create goals and provides the necessary tools to dominate the 21 techniques to control time and to be more productive.

Tracy’s troubleshooting strategy is clear, precise and easy to follow, we must admit. The information is presented in manageable slice with simple direct phrases that cap one with unbelievable abilities to perform. It is a very easy and enjoyable to read as always with books by Brian Tracy.

And just before I sign off, I think the author’s call on us to “eat that frog” connotes chewing, which also can be time-consuming. So I say, don’t eat the frog; swallow that frog!

Brian Tracy’s Eat That Frog – What Others Said

This books could have easily been titled "Doing Discipline" but I have to admit, I like the title "Eat that Frog", the metaphor really digs into the well of the procrastinator.

Eat That Frog delivers 21 habits that have been determined invaluable for sucess. Forget the reviewers who feel that these habits could have been condensed, to leave any habit out would be a deterrent to the effectiveness of the program.


This book is a brief easy read but is not intended to be a one time read. Tracy offers bullet points and exercises. They should be repeated on a daily basis.

The concept is that the 21 habits repeated daily can result in behavior change in 21 days. Some behavior "experts" disagree, however, with advanced techniques like NLP and Alpha programming, it is actually possible to reprogram yourself and establish new habits much quicker. But, like all conditioning, it must be repeated or it can be lost. Just like physical exercise.

I am glad that Brian Tracy is coming out with these smaller books that act like little coaches in book form. The book is compact and can be carried in a mens briefcase or a ladies purse or bag. You can read it over a coffee break or at other opportune times.

Another great one by the great Brian Tracy. -- Anthony DeFrancisco (USA
