Summary: Provides some "inspiration" but no substance
Review: Books of this kind invariably get glowing reviews because the people who read them actually convince themselves after five hundred pages that they have unlocked the keys or rules to have anything they want in life. However this is not in fact the truth. Brian Tracy's book is a pseudo-uplifting read that leaves you with the nice warm fuzzy feeling that we can all be millionaires tomorrow if we just write it down and "visualize" the desired outcome, and anything else is just cynicism. But in fact there is almost nothing of practical value in this entire phone-book length text. Tracy tells us repeatedly about his own life story, and offers list after list of the "7 most important things in life" followed by "the 7 biggest priorities in life" and the "7 things in life that have the most value" etc. The intrusively repetitive nature of this book is a major credibility alert - if each point were only made once the whole thing would be about ten pages long; so obviously the remainder is junk. Secondly, the examples used are very thin on substance, even to those who want to believe - like Tracy's claim that he wrote down all the things he and his wife desired in their dream home and forgot about it, then a year later they bought a house with every feature on the list except for a central vacuum system. Sure, lets assume this is true - but how much does that proove when he was already a millionaire from selling his books and seminars? Couldn't he have afforded just about any kind of house anyway? In summary, this book provides some inspiration but no real practical advice or action plan. Read it but if you get bored and don't finish it you haven't missed much.

Summary: As much wisdom as the Scriptures but easier to understand
Review: I've read the scriptures several times, have read many books on philosophy, wisdom, logic, and self-help books and even many works of psychology/psycotherapy, all of which were helpful and insightful but nothing compares with the advice, counsel and wisdom offered in this one book.

Brian Tracy has literally hit the nail on the head and if you've ever wanted to know ALL the secrets of life and the real path to truth, happiness and success, this would be the book. What is so incredible is he presents all of the truths and wisdom in such an informal and entertaining way, you can't help but understand and savor every page. This book would easily make the National Best Sellers List if it were more widely known.

I feel the title says it all, however one might dismiss the book because of the title as it appears to be just another self-help- me-too. Perhaps a more proper title would be: "The Book of Life" Do yourself and those around you a favor and read this book. You will never forget it.

Summary: A terrific book to help you create a dream-come-true life
Review: I read every word of this book. Brian Tracy's techniques have helped me achieve my dreams of being a national speaker/author ("Communicate to Win: Influence Your Way to Success and Happiness") and America's Communication Coach - and being a motion picture director, currently directing "LIVING, the motion picture." Also, my previous feature film went to the Cannes Film Festival. This book is for *you.* Take notes and put the strategies into your day planner. Your bright future unfolds as you take action with Brian Tracy as your coach through this excellent book.

Summary: Top of the list!!
Review: Being a fan of non-fiction and a reader of many self help/philosophy books, I can say that this was certainly in the upper echelon. It is an easy read that outlines certain principles and ideas that can put you on a clear path to achieving your goals. While some of Brian's principles are similiar to other tomes (i.e. writing down goals, visualization, et al) his style clearly struck home with me.

Summary: On of the best book to help you succeed in life
Review: The book offers you valuable suggestions on how to succeed in life and how to achieve the balance between personal, family and professional life. Gives you practical suggestions how to improve yourself as a person (employee, boss, colleague, father, husband, friend) and how to unleash your real potential. I was really impressed because it worked for me and I achieved amazing results shortly after reading it. In fact I read it three times. Is good to have it in your library for reference.

Summary: Top book to have on bookshelf.
Review: The first day I read the book I tried some of the concepts.Specifically Belief and Expectation.This may sound like science fiction... but I was able to induce a particular outcome in certain situations.The neighbour was playing music loudly and through the techniques taught I willed the music to go away.Within 2 minutes the music completely shut off.Other occurances like that have happened when trying these new mental approaches.This is a very short breath of what is covered in the book so just imagine the possibilities out there.However,this stuff definitely requires descipline and a strong mindset.I know what you may be thinking... that it could just be freak occurances,but ask yourself the question, do coincidences even exist?

Summary: simple and powerful
Review: This book turned my life and my world around . I went from self doubt and self sabbotage to starting two businesses in less than a year and making both of them successful ventures. The laws of success in this book will make you not only believe that you can it will put you in a constant state of knowing that you can. The laws and principles in this book flat out make sense and work, bottom line, plain and simple, just apply them and live them. In closing I chose to write this review as a service to humanity or anyone who needs to create for themselves all they want in life.
