Remove, Replace, Restart: The Essential Maintenance Manual for Your Engine for Success by Christian Greiser is well researched, and has interesting case studies and multiple exercises to show how readers can reset their mental attitudes to achieve success and fulfillment in their current and future phases of life.  

What I Liked About Remove Replace Restart: The Essential Maintenance Manual for Your Engine for Success

Greiser uses the analogy of maintaining an automobile engine to highlight his key points. I thought this was quite clever. Each chapter starts with a real suggestion on what a person should do if certain things happen with the engine, and then he shows how that tidbit applies to individuals and their careers.

The case studies were excellent. I enjoyed the stories. They were thorough and clearly explained the six main reasons for career-stalling issues. The reasons were:

• The inability to manage our own resources.
• Blind spots and an unawareness of our own driving forces.
• The inability to let go of old models of success.
• Difficulty adopting new habits.
• A lack of courage to reinvent ourselves in line with the times.
• Naiveté in tackling a career re-start.

The exercises were useful and easy to understand how to utilize.

Finally, Greiser is obviously very knowledgeable and experienced, but he doesn’t come across as a know-it-all. He appears to genuinely care about helping people achieve a successful career.

What You’ll Like About Remove Replace Restart: The Essential Maintenance Manual for Your Engine for Success

The information, while thorough, isn’t hard to understand. Greiser does a great job of explaining his points and showing how his suggestions can work. He is transparent and shares a great deal about his own journey, both the successes and times when he didn’t succeed.

Greiser also includes a chapter on retirement, which shows how productive this phase of a person’s life can be.

If you are interested in maintaining your success engine, you’ll find this well-written book is practical. You can implement the advice.

Final Thoughts

The most poignant information for me was in the last chapter, where he explained how a person can make a fresh start after a career setback and how retirement can be even more fulfilling professionally.

I sensed an authenticity about Greiser that I don’t often feel from authors. He seems like an old friend offering advice because he really cares about your success.
