Format:Paperback
Jack Canfield is best known for his Chicken Soup for the Soul series, the stories featured in there came about because he is a motivational speaker and often used stories to highlight what he was telling his clients. This book is about Jack Canfields original work, motivating and inspiring people to aim for the life that they've always secretly wanted.
There are a lot of books on the market with a similar purpose, I know - I've read quite a number of them, what I particularly like about this is that it doesn't push heavily at spirituality which a lot of others do. There are 2 books which I've abandoned in the past month as I want to develop myself not find religion and according to them I couldn't do one without the other.
Yes, a lot of the techniques are similar to what is in other books and it's not telling you anything different but what do you expect from a bunch of books on the same subject? The success of this book lies in it's ability to talk to you in a friendly way, without being patronising.
It's made me re-evaluate my life, look at what areas I'm unhappy in and do something to try to improve them.
A couple of months on and I've decided to edit this post with an update: I have now had a complete change of life; I have a new, smarter image; I have lost a considerable amount of weight; I have moved job to something more complex and interesting which has led me to more than double my salary. I won't say it's jus because of reading this book but all of htis has happened within a short time of reading this book.

I'm always sceptical of reading glowing reviews as I always think they have come from the author/publisher... but this book has a very real power to change your life.
It's not mumbo jumbo, instead it just talks common sense about where you are and where you want to be... and you end up realising that it is only YOU and your low self-esteem/lack of encouragement etc. etc. that is holding you back from literally asking for or achieving anything you want in life.
I am nowhere near at the point where I am putting the principles into practice on a daily basis - I'm lazy and as prone to settling into my comfort zone as the next man - but after reading the book once I asked for a meeting with my two managing directors (a big deal to do that!) and asked for a £5k pay rise. I never would have dreamed of doing that without the book helping to organise my thoughts and allowing me to see what I am worth.
It's the only self-help book I have bought and I dip into it constantly. But if you are more principled than me and REALLY stick to the principles I think you'll be amazed at what happens.
Anyway, that's my honest review. I think it says in the book that these kind of principles should be taught in schools, and I can't see why they are not!
p.s. they gave me £4k!

I never liked this author's Chicken Soup series for being sentimental. This is much more practical. It explains how to take control of your thoughts by taking responsibility and setting goals.
The style is very much like Brian Tracy: it is very easy to read, and the ideas are explained in plain English. They are also backed up with well-told examples and stories.
Skip the acknowledgements and introduction: all the "meat" is in the 25 main chapters.

Nice style
Although I read one of the reviews saying how this was a bit of a let down I still picked it up because I enjoy Jack's writing style. Read more

Not very deep
I didn't get far before the old "write a list of things you want to be, do, have." came up. The steps are not profound or new and if you don't know where you want to be then it's... Read more

Jack's the lad
I really liked this for the stories Jack tells as he meanders through the obvious. I agree with some other reviewers that there is nothing new in this book, but Jack's enthusiasm... Read more

Disappointing
For me this was very uninspiring stuff. Almost stating the obvious with no startling revelations. The writers enthusiasm came through and gave a few do's and don'ts, but it left me... Read more
