This may be fine for someone who has never read lots of other Self-help type of books, but there is nothing really new here, nor is it presented in a truly eye-opening way.

This is a pretty simple self-help book. If you've never read one you'll probably enjoy it, but there is nothing new or different in here. I've heard all of these in some form or another.

All pretty obvious stuff though sometimes the reminder is useful. She lost me though at idea 41 re intuition - I trust my gut too but then she referenced psychics in a serious way….

I found this late one night - for free - and, had I taken to heart the reviews on this book, I probably would have not "bought" it, like I'm sure you're thinking now that you're looking at the book and seeing some of the same reviews that I did. Take my advice - ignore all the bad reviews - it is a good book (though I would wait to see if you can find it cheaper later on - sometimes these books go on sale or for free for a few days).

Ever since I saw a show several years ago (a reality show - ugh - I can't believe I'm actually admitting I watched one of those haha) with life coaches, it has been an obsession with me. I read what I can and have done a lot of research online. This book had a lot of good ideas, some that I have tried and others that I will be trying in the future. Not only does it have the idea, but information on the idea, other suggestions and a motivational quote to do with each topic. You really feel like the author has joined you on your journey for self development ... and like the author has once been there too. Definitely a good book. :) Not tedious or boring either.

Maybe we can re-evaluate the brilliance of these ideas - I found them very basic and not organized in any coherent manner. A page or two on the "problem," a related quote (I ended up reading only these for the last 30 ideas) and a couple of questions with pithy answers. Don't bother.

Great have a look! I liked it very much. Some excellent quotes & ideas.

This was a free download but I wanted more detail and less fluff. Says the same thing other life coaches tell you without anything awe-inspiring.

Amazing book I read it in a day and took so many notes now time to put it to practice. Would recommend it to anyone who wants to change their life

[Margaret Boehm · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really liked the "wheel of life" she suggested to help see where you need improvement in your life.

[Fictionista Du Jour · Rating 1 out of 5]

Couldn't actually finish it. Some good ideas buried in anecdotal diversions, and common sense advice.

one star would be one too many
