I was hesitant to buy this book because having read any number of Maxwell's books at some point they all start to run together.  John is an international leadership expert and I have learned many great leadership principles from his books.  In fact,  I have probably learned more about leadership through his books than anyone esle but he writes so many books that some of the material seems to be repeated over and over.

 The Difference maker is a book about attitude.  Maxwell points out that attitude is not everything but it is the difference maker.  I picked this book at the bookstore and read a few pages.  What I read seemed fresh and new.  I have to admit the first few chapters were good but about halfway thorugh I felt like I was reading one of his other books.

Here is my advice - if you have not read any of Maxwells other books or maybe only a few, then you might really enjoy this book.  If like me and have read several, then you might want to pass.

As with all of Maxwell's books you pick up a line or two that really stick with you.  For this book my favorite from this one was:

"The happiest people in life don't necessarily have the best of everything.  They just try to make the best of everything."
