O carte subțire, plina de sfaturi bune, dar care se repetă uneori. Mi-am notat multe din aceasta carte, am avut nevoie de un carnețel lângă mine tot timpul. 3,5/5

A book I can’t recommend enough. A simpler interpretation of “As a Man Thinketh”….aka the original “The Secret”, the book that was a phenomenon a while back. It has the power to truly change lives.

A simple short read but each page is worth spending material time on to contemplate, analyze and internalize. I got this book from a library but just bought a copy to join my book collection so I can go back to it over and over which I plan to do.
