About the author

James Arthur Ray was an American self-help businessman, motivational speaker, author and convicted felon who was found guilty in 2011 of causing three deaths through negligent homicide.
A former telemarketer, Ray taught Stephen Covey motivational seminars while employed at AT&T and claimed he later worked two years for the Covey foundation; however the company has no record of him as an employee or contractor. In 2006 he appeared on CNN's Larry King Live and was one of several narrators in the film The Secret. He also appeared on the Today Show and Oprah.
In October 2009, three participants died while taking part in a ritual, led by Ray, at one of his New Age retreats. Ray was arrested in 2010, and in 2011 convicted of three counts of negligent homicide. He served two years in Arizona state prison and was released under supervision on July 12, 2013. Following his release, Ray re-launched his self-help business.

I absolutely love this book. I know I have read it at-least three times and listened to it on audio, in its entirety at-least 12 times. I keep this book on my ipod and listen to it when there is nothing else to do. This man has a wonderful way of explaining the laws and principles of success in a scientific manner that just simply works every-time. You know what? I am going to have to read it again. Life has been a little crazy for me lately and I need to get back to me.

Top 3 takeaways...

1) Your success depends on the clarity of your mindset. Need to articulate what you WANT not what you DON'T WANT. If possible, create "holes" in your life to be filled by the universe

2) Formula for changing your mindset: - Understand the hidden beliefs that are keeping you back - Set a vision that is present-tense, BIG, & be living it not observing it. - Add a purpose outside of you to create emotion - Feel worthy of success - Keep feeding your unconscious everyday

3) Past thoughts got you where you are. Future does not depend on that.

Ray writes on the seven proven principles of success, built off of the law of attraction philosophy. The book is a quick and easy read, with some stories (would like to have seen more) and solid communication of the principles of the law of attraction in Ray's somewhat unique packaging. A decent read.

This book is like a mirror for every readers.
Success can be achieved in a way that actually we granted, the use of a universal principles..

we should have a vision, mindset, hope, grateful, respect... If all of these is apllied well, it is not imposible that we can take a success in a very simple way, starting from our selves...

This is a pretty quick read that explains how and why we are all the architects of our own lives. Going back and re-reading a chapter or two is good therapy for me when life is starting to feel like a struggle.
