I work in a busy engineering department as a store man - however like all companies out there my role keeps getting bigger and bigger and our department smaller and smaller. Recently I had a huge bust up with what I now know is a mood Hoover. This guy drove me crazy dumping all his bad vibes on everyone like the huge garbage truck mentioned in your book which is truly brilliant. I did tell him he was a... we wont go into that. It's frustrating that one man brings down to his level a whole department.

A friend of mine loaned me your book, unfortunately after the event, and I stayed up half the night reading it, I am a firm believer in that you can change the way you think. I am convinced this is a new beginning for me - because although the other guy is the guilty party I also had my own flaws with the way I perceived and dealt with the situation.

Mind you everything happens for a reason. Had I not had the bust up with the mammoth Hoover geezer then my friend Caroline would not have loaned me your brilliant book.

How's that for positivity!!!  The morning after reading your book I felt like I had been on happy drugs .

Keep up the good work

Merry Christmas

You did a speech at XXXXXX School recently, and a lady met you and talked to you about her son, who was struggling with negativity. You gave her a copy of your book, "The Art of Being Brilliant" for her son to read. Well Andy, that lady was my mother.

I read your book, and I admit that I was initially sceptical. I have been really struggling with negativity and cynicism recently, and I was doubtful that a book could help me. However, I am pleased to say that your book has really helped me change my outlook and attitude.

Once I realised that a positive mindset was a choice, I transformed my way of thinking. Since reading your book, I have been happier and more proactive. I'm writing to you to tell you how grateful I am for your gift to me. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Guys, great book [The Art of Being Brilliant].

Having spent 12 years at the dizzy heights of senior management in UK and international blue chip retail businesses, I have come across a shed load of self help and management orientated motivational material and have sat through countless training sessions of the same. The vast majority of which have focussed on changing peoples personalities to match a perceived "best way" dreamt up by often by academics, strangely often Americans I find, full of buzz words and management speak, who I suspect have little experience beyond the theoretical.

The Art of Brilliance is obviously different, it's direct, straight forward and nothing that we don't already know - but have forgotten or don't put into practice enough. Having read the book, I feel reinvigorated and motivated to try harder to implement the super six as often as I can, without feeling guilty for the times I don't.

I only wish I had this material 5 years ago. Some of my own training sessions with staff would have been so much better!! Well done chaps.

I gave “A Brilliant Life” to my friend’s son for his thirteenth birthday. Of course, I had a sneaky peek before wrapping it up. Wish I hadn’t... now I need to buy another copy for myself!

This book might be aimed at teenagers, but it’s also a handy pocket guide to exactly what it says on the cover.

I recently started to read 'The Art of Being Brilliant'. At first I thought, this is not for me.  Not because it wasn't good - it was brilliant!  

As a teacher I had brought Andy Cope in to work with students and staff and had always taken part.  I thought I knew it all!  But as I read on I realised that I 'might' know it all but did I still use it?  This book was just like Andy talking to me and reminding me about what I did know and how I should be using it.  It is not that I am big headed but rather that, as Andy always says 'It's bleedin obvious'.  If you have been lucky enough to work with him you will know what I mean.  If you haven't - REALLY - just what are you waiting for?  If you haven't already got his book 'Being Brilliant' you should buy this one too.  I used to call it my 'bible'.  Where I went it went. Like with that book, I will read & reread this one.  It's just great to have Andy there whenever you need him, you just open the book and he talks to you.
