I am 26 and have been interested in self development for about 8 years now. Of the many books I have read this is by far the best, it has changed my life. The information Mike provides is so easy to understand (even for a guy that previously thought all this was hocus-pocus) it really will leave you laughing at why you ever got mad at anyone but yourself. I am finding myself questioning the basis of my life the last 26 years. Have you ever thought about where the anger/red mist that overcomes you over the smallest things originates from? Is it really the external things (people/objects) or is it just a chemical reaction in the brain, an illusion? If you stop for 2 minutes and think logically - of course it is an illusion. After all, who is the only person that can decide if they will react a certain way or feel a certain way - only you no one else stop blaming everyone and everything else your brain is playing tricks on you! Is it the skies fault that the weather is awful on a certain morning, no it is your decision how to react to it. Why is it that one person can be blissful in the same surroundings as another is miserable - clearly it has nothing to do with the surroundings (!) it is all in the head. Take control of your life and stop blaming all your thoughts and actions on the objects and people outside and start to tap into your mind.
Harvard scientists have proven for fact that those that meditate or understand that all thoughts and emotions and feelings are all illusions generated from within our very clever brain and thus we are 100% in control are more likely to have larger brain sizes - ie they are tapping into the other 98% of their brain. Do you want to be in the 99.99% of the population that go through life using 2% of their brain or do you want to tap your potential and have the most fulfilled life you can. If it's the latter buy this book it really will change your outlook on life and will probably save your relationships to boot!
There is a clear link between what is taught in this book and what defines the mentality of very powerful people such as CEOs, Olympians etc etc. Think about it, they realise that everything in their destiny is driven 100% by their own brain not by external factors. It is all within them that's why they can go from zero to hero as they stop trying to rely on others to get them there. The brain is a lot more powerful than most people will ever realise before it is too late, i.e. they die. To get the most out of this book I would recommend you read it in conjunction with literature on how the human brain works and any works on the reptilian complex. Spend time on this stuff it is not some mystical nonsense it is proven by scientific fact hence why it is important to understand how clever the human mind is and it's make up (how the behavioural wiring can be changed through meditation or NLP) before embarking on the more spiritual elements which this book introduces.
I am still learning so much how to enhance my life and rise above the mediocre thought processes of my fellow humans. I hope this review was helpful, Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions thanks for reading.
