Biography
Anyone who has been told to "eat the frog" — deal with the hardest task first — is quoting, directly or indirectly, one of his books. That short volume, *Eat That Frog!*, is probably the single title most responsible for putting his name in front of readers who had never picked up a self-development book before, and it sits alongside *No Excuses! The Power of Self-Discipline*, *Earn What You're Really Worth* and *The Psychology of Achievement* among his best-known work.
The catalogue behind those titles is unusually large. He has written more than eighty books, and they have been translated into dozens of languages, which is why his material tends to surface in so many different countries and formats — clips, summaries, quotes passed around without attribution. The subject matter stays close to a few themes: discipline, personal productivity, earning power, and the mental habits he associates with achievement.
Born in Charlottetown on 5 January 1944, he is Canadian-American, and works as a public speaker as well as an author — the two sides of the same output, since the books and the talks cover the same ground. His site is briantracy.com.
