This is the case of a very good book getting very limited exposure.
I found this book on the bargain shelf at a major bookstore in 1997 and while the cover was not ultra compelling a deeper look into the content let me know that the information was going to be highly effective. I read this book right after reading Anthony Robbins "Unlimited Power" and Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich for the fifth or sixth time.
Certainly there are standard laws of success that any good program will outline and cover. Having read hundreds of success books, largely the classics, I am looking for that foundation to be built on. Michael Monroe Kiefer does a great job building on that platform.
Even reading it against giants like Robbins and HILL and others he does a great job of creating a psychology of success that is unique. The layout of the book has three core elements
1. An overview of the coming material in a chapter. There are 12 logically laid out sessions throughout the book. You can jump right in to an area and not feel lost, or you can read start to finish as it is fluidly laid out
2. An outline of the core material for the 12 lessons – I like the modular style that contains lots of sub-chapters, bullets and numerical outlines. It is more like course material than a book.
3. A series of workshops and exercises that help you get clear on what you want and what you need to do to achieve it.
There are spiritual elements, scientific elements such as N.L.P - neuro linguistic programming, and other practical teachings that allow people of all faiths and beliefs systems to use the system. An open mind is still required.
As an author, I have written my own psychology of success books, and while more contemporary in nature and not as detailed in the scientific elements, I was inspired by Kiefer's approach with his book.
If you are new to success philosophies and the psychology of success, I would recommend this book as it combines elements of some of the best books ever written and brings them all together in a well laid out design.
I highly recommend this book!
