Great Book!!! |
A friend recommended this book to me a few years ago, but I only got to it recently. It really was a turning point for me in many ways.
It offers many ideas you might find in other places, but some I have not seen elsewhere. The one that really helped me is - I am sorry to say I never figured this out before reading it here - that you have to REALLY make up your mind what it is you want before you can really be sure to get it. That is not necessarily as easy as it sounds, since having too many plan B's or not having a REAL plan can swallow you up and you get nowhere.
Wish I had read this a long time ago!

Should be a must read for anyone who can read, and think. |
Quite simply, this book is the closest thing to an owner's manual for humans that I have ever found. It helped me to resolve some long-standing issues.
I have lent it to friends and they always share my enthusiasm, often commenting that one may open it randomly to anywhere in the book, and just start learning. |

Great, but not concise |
|
I just bought and finished this book and I can tell that it will be referenced often and a big part of my library. The "laws" mentioned in this book are great to read over and over again. The last 100 pages, however, are filler. He seems to repeat himself over and over about relationships, parenting and other issues. If he would have left that stuff out, I'd give it five stars. I would recommend Eat that Frog or The Ultimate Goals Program on audio instead. |

three words: Love. This. Book. |

Let me first start by patting myself on the back. I have been on a roll with my reading selections. Here is another fascinating book by another great author, Brain Tracy. Let me say it again Brian Tracy really knows how to assist you in performing a self analysis on your past present and future experiences and thoughts. He asks riveting questions that make you use your imagination, exercise your subconscious mind and feed your brain with the most powerful enlightening visions to set you on a path to great success. I believe that in growing up, a lot of individuals get lost in the way of society and the limitations that the world puts on our thinking and life. Of course growing up in this fashion is not at all our fault it is partly our parents fault and I say partly because no-one taught them. Any one that has made several past or present mistakes would benefit greatly from this book. Even to the individual that has not made many mistakes and has been afforded a somewhat decent life would benefit from this book. If you are tired of living within the boundaries of the world and you have reached a point where you want more for yourself but you are having trouble moving past the events that have happened in the past this is the book for you. Or anyone that is having trouble focusing on their thoughts to reach their ultimate goals should most definitely pick up this book. You will not regret it, this book is so powerful. The value of the contents inside this book is priceless. This is another book in which my husband and I sit down weekly and discuss the contents and complete the exercises. Ladies I have been attempting to drill success into my husband's ear for years and it has not helped, not one bit. But since we have begin reading this book amongst others and performing the exercises he is beginning to change, and not because I am drilling him but because he is now able to do a self analysis of himself and see the gray areas that have been greatly affecting his life, which is, inevitably our life. I can't emphasize enough how powerful this book is. |

Proven self-actualization techniques |
|
One day, a student of Socrates asked his venerable teacher how to become wise. Socrates led the student to a nearby lake and the two entered the water. Then, he held the student's head under the surface as the frantic young man fought wildly. Finally, Socrates freed him. The young man gasped and gulped. Socrates watched calmly and said, "When you desire wisdom with the same intensity that you desire to breathe, then nothing will stop you from getting it." Brian Tracy uses this graphic anecdote to discuss the intensity of thought and feeling that should accompany the work of setting your goals, a potentially life-changing exercise. Every chapter of Tracy's well-written book contains counsel about achieving your dreams as well as practical advice on perfecting your life. Tracy uses plenty of illustrative examples, such as the Socrates story. He reviews many classic motivational tools and techniques. Some self-help authors lure people into wasting hard-earned time and money on books that don't motivate or inspire. However, getAbstract recommends Tracy as a genuine teacher with much to convey about using the power of your mind for personal growth. And if the message here echoes his other books, it is no less valuable for that. |
