Interesting, but not life changing.

[Mr. V · Rating 3 out of 5]

For the most part, it was a good book. Made some excellent points. At times he rambles. Almost like he is adding words to get to a page number. Seems like a bit of a snob too. Got the impression he looks down his nose at people who choose a career for a simpler life instead of chasing "success". The book does make good points about the commitment needed to be successful. These points can be helpful for the individual who can get around his snobbery and occasional rambling. It would have been better shorter and more direct to the point.

A terrific book written by a 'modern-day philosopher.' Earl's messages have greatly influenced my life.

Mr. Nightingale offers a simple plan to succeed in life. This should be read in high school.

Its A Positive Motivational Book... There are a lot of great tips for focusing on what you and I really want out of life.

The Main Message for Me: "We Are What We Think About Most"... whether it be positive or negative!
Great Read...
Cheers,James

This is a great book for a young person trying to figure out what to do with their life. I like Nightingale's idea of how there are two different types of people -- river people and goal people. I believe there is a lot of truth in this book.

Great, short book. Too few people understand their conscious, subconscious, auto-suggesstion, empathy, emotion, psychology.

Great book of all times
