Whether that success be personal orientated or business, this easy to read-grasp book can be used as a motivational tool for self-help or a great resource for those seeking to teach others how to succeed. The “real life” examples and scenarios given throughout the book are extremely relatable and easily understood. Peitzman’s emphasizes on listening to your own intuition or “gut feeling”. If the business situation or personal situation you are in feels bad to you, then correct it accordingly. If the situation is good, the jump on that good feeling bandwagon! I enjoyed how the concepts of this book can be used both in professional and personal situations in life. Most likely, if a person is not happy with their professional life, it will affect their personal life, and vice versa. Highly recommend reading, and sharing with others! read less

If you feel a situation is good or bad, he encourages to definitely listen to those internal instructions. I love how he goes back and constantly reinstills the lessons he taught in the previous chapters, that way they are always ingrained. If you are anxious to jump start your business, this book contains short chapters and with straight to the point advise. You can trust in Peitzman to give you the best first foot forward into your successful future business. read less

It incorporates the best elements that you could find in the other texts and does so in a concise, effective manner. JP fills his book with anecdotes, commentary, and motivational reinforcements that make the “BUILD Framework" an easy read. No doubt, it’s a great addition to your personal library. read less

If you’re looking to be spoon fed a checklist, you’re not going to find it here.The “BUILD” in BUILD Framework is an acronym a la those motivational posters in elementary school. It seems a bit kitschy at first glance but the content as a whole is worth “shooting for the moon because even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.”This book isn’t for those unapologetic, take-the-money-and-run type wanting to be a wolf on Wall Street or a champion poker player. Maybe the subtitle “A Heart-Based System for Personal and Professional Growth” is a dead giveaway, but this book is more about growth in building relationships and maintaining them through compassionate leadership rather than climbing the corporate ladder, leaving destruction in your wake.My Positives:It’s only 114 pages! Even though the author uses his fair share of examples to add context to the information being given, it doesn’t feel like the book length is overly inflated with copious stories and anecdotes.He includes “Action Benefit Challenges” that help to illustrate the point being made but also to give inspiration on things to do by yourself to enact the concepts.Each part of the BUILD Framework comes with 2 “success attributes” to embody that foster a better likelihood of implementation success, and 2 “emotional contractions” that are, or may, impede your success with the BUILD concepts.Most of all, I enjoyed that this book stressed the importance of authenticity and honor. I’ve read a lot of personal development books that seem to focus on the self and personal success but this book does a good job at melding success with compassion. It illustrates one of my favorite quotes: “a rising tide lifts all boats.” read less
