- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It makes you see where you are now, why you are there, and the most important how can you get out of there. It has made me think about new insights, developed new valuable habit, and revalue myself as a person. Although I am interested in money only, this book has show me that the best way to get money is first giving quality service to the clients, and money will come alone. This is something that I already knew it, but this book stresses it, reassured it, confirmed it and doing it so, It has make me gain more confiability in such a principle. I recommend it for anyone who wants to improve his live at whatever stage of live he is in.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Recommended to my partner by his prof. I've had a quick look through it thus far. The message is good, but the packaging of that message (very American-style "self-help" - think Leonard Nimoy in The Bodysnatchers) is a little hard to swallow. We shall soldier on, however...
Edited to add: Oh, wait, I already said it. The message is good, but the style and mood makes me want to gag.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A treasure trove of positive psychology. Simply written, the necessary amount of repetition, and not vague or wishy-washy, but straight forward and PRACTICAL.
I can see myself in the future returning to this book again and again, reading 10 random pages each time - plenty to focus on; plenty to think about and try to work into real life.
I just wish the title was one that friends wouldn't so quickly form rubbishy preconceptions over!
There are countless one-liners worthy of wall-space.

Best Take Away: « The right attitude with one arm will bit the wrong attitude with two arms » - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Encourages toxic positivity, mildly misogynistic. It might work for some people but I wouldn’t want someone to really begin to ingrain this way of thinking and living in the world.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5interesante, entretenodo, buena recopilación de los principios fundamentales del éxito personal, aunque aporta pocas cosas nuevas
