"You will bless the day, this book came into your life"

This is literally true for me. This is a book full of positivity, positive attitude, positive thinking.

After reading this book, you really feel you can get anything you want, irrespective of your current circumstances.


"Everything that happens to me is perfect and is for my total benefit"

The book is based on this quote. Author Prentiss has tried to make readers understand and adopt this belief whenever they face any problem. He also has included practical exercises at end of every chapter, which should be taken seriously to get max from this book.

Prentiss has also mentioned various stories of people who benefited by adopting this belief or philosophy.

All in all, this book isn't just any other book that you read and lock in your book shelves.

This is a companion to ones journey called life. Whenever you're in stress, depression facing any problem, read this book to find solutions.

Thank you Chris Prentiss for such a wonderful book 🙂

A pesar de no ser fanático del género de autoayuda, leí este ejemplar con la mente abierta y obtuve más de lo que creí. De igual manera me costó terminarlo más de lo normal ya que no estoy acostumbrado a este tipo de contenido, aún así fue disfrutable, además de que este libro me fue obsequiado con la mejor de las intenciones. En fin, lo recomendaría solo a cierto tipo de personas que sin duda entienden y viven la vida mejor que yo.

Страхотна. Бях скептично настроена и се колебаех дали да я чета изобщо. Но едно гласче ме подтикна към нея и беше право. Променя доста нагласи и надгражда мисленето. Заслужава си.

It proved much better than I had judged it by its cover. Many good exercises, techniques and methods worth practicing.
