Rate this book
The vast majority of people that are trying to accomplish something big will fail and it's not even their fault. People with big dreams always encounter daunting challenges. When you apply the Breakthrough Code, no matter how big your goals are, you can get what you want easier and faster.
This modern-day parable takes you through the journey of a young boy, Jonathan, who has big dreams and ambitions. Jonathan's promising start after college quickly turns to overwhelm, struggling to succeed at work and finding himself in a situation where both his relationship and his health are failing. Feeling down on his luck, Jonathan turns to a friend of his deceased father, Mr. Woodberry, for advice.
Mr. Woodberry introduces Jonathan to The Breakthrough Code. Through a series of stories, characters, trials, and tribulations, Jonathan starts to see his life improving. He finds himself happier, healthier and creating breakthroughs in every area of his life. Jonathan's career, relationships, and life all begin to shift for the better.
But what changed? Throughout the journey, Jonathan learns how to apply The Breakthrough Code. He learns that his life was being held back by the story he was telling himself and his subconscious beliefs.
The Breakthrough Code is a story about the possibilities you can create when you connect the big results you want in your life to your life's purpose. You will learn how to get rid of old memories, thought, and beliefs that are holding you back and create a brand new and much more powerful story of who you are and what you are capable of. You will learn how to access your superconscious mind to automate the process of achieving your most important results. Finally, when you put The Breakthrough Code into action, you will find yourself being guided to take the most effective and efficient actions to reach your goals quicker, with less resistance.

The Breakthrough Code is that kind of book we all wish to have read during our college or university times. After graduating, we have dreams and goals that overwhelm us and we start questioning whether we are prepared to deal with those objectives. This book helps readers to achieve them, through a “code” and no matter how big your goals are, you can get what you want easier and
faster.
The story is told in the form of a parable, with a young boy, Jonathan, as the main protagonist who has big dreams and ambitions and his life changes after learning about the Breakthrough Code. This character represents us all, young or not, who wish to live without limits. So I guess that feeling identified with him has helped me understand this book’s concept and acquire more tools to keep living my life in a more positive manner. What a read!

an energetic read for inspiration

I love how this story is written as a work of fiction, though it's expressed through stories and examples that are truly useful to implement in the everyday lives of normal people. While failure is a scary thing and can often stray us away from reaching our full potential, the stories shared with Jonathan by Mr. Woodberry show the possibilities that are endless as long as we are determined and keep the fear from stopping us. This one is a fairly simple read but one that will definitely allow you to walk away with a sense of inspiration and hope for the future. This is the perfect read for someone looking for an energizing boost for their future.

Great read

I love a self help book written as a story rather than a textbook. The principles are simple and effective. It was recommended to me by my mentor and I loved it.

Tom McCarthy, author of “The Breakthrough Code: A Story About Living A Life Without Limits”, created a reading that is insightful and very interesting. This modern parable helps you imagine what you can create when you meet big results. Putting into practice what is learnt with this book can help us reach our goals, something most of us desire.
The book is clear, well written and interesting. I would recommend reading it and take the most of it. The author has done a great job putting his expertise and knowledge in these pages.

Interesting but not great

The Breakthrough Code itself is interesting, and probably useful to an extent (there’s plenty of supporting research to back up the effectiveness of several of the habits mentioned), but I found the pseudo-science mumbo jumbo (superconscious mind, universal life force, connecting in, shared thoughts, etc.) to be an unnecessary distraction. As a business/management novel it’s fine, too. Maybe some people will find it inspiring.

There is a lot of great information that I will utilize in my own life. At times, the book felt similar to The Secret. I will review my notes and use as a tool to help me become a better, more productive person in all aspects of my life.

An amazing book. It was written in an easy ready by telling a story and sharing the points and lessons to retrain your subconscious to achieve whatever you believe. I’ll read this many times to implement the codes.

Wish I had read this book in my high school or college years! Written as an easy to read fiction book but gives practical tips on how to work from a vision & be more productive daily! Putting our focus on the right things consistently matters! Highly recommend!

I attended a live session from the author in the US and received a personally autographed copy of this book from him.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading how a few codes/ mantras can help us achieve big breakthroughs, provided we follow them diligently.Many of these steps I have been following during my career for the last decade or more, however it is a good reminder on the power of discipline and human connections.
A good read for someone starting off their career and is shy to network.
