When I initially picked up this book I was skeptical of its possible impact. I have read other self help books that claim to want to help you find ways to be successful on your own. After finishing it I am a true believer that Jonathan Green has a genuine desire to help others reach their financial goals and eventually break the chains that hold us back. This is not a get rich quick scheme, it clearly states that you have to work for the success but if you want to get off the hamster wheel of life and live on your terms pick up this book! This book has been a road map for what it takes to be successful on your own. I can not wait to get my journey started! Blog coming soon!!! If you want to escape the rat race or simply supplement your income, this is the book for you. Take the time to invest in yourself by buying and finishing this book.

When you read this book, you need to prepare yourself for your own creativity deluge. Have a notebook and multiple pens in hand, because you may find that it is hard to write fast enough to capture all the ideas that come rushing into your mind!

Not only is the book masterfully written in easy language and simple structures giving you easy access to the basic ideas, but Mitchell and Coles wrote it in such a way that you are compelled to start churning out an abundance of great ideas as you read. They accomplish this with their helpful steps and masterful questions that appear in each chapter.

Success coaching giants such as Anthony Robbins teach that if you want to get better results in life, you need to start by asking better questions. In The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution, Mitchell and Coles ask some of the most brilliant, results-producing questions I've ever encountered. Like all questions, they have the effect of communicating directly to the inner mind, commanding it to retrieve solutions. Just reading the questions within the context of the information in each chapter starts you on your journey to your own 2,000 Percent Squared Solutions.

The results for me were so powerful that although my initial goal in reading The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution was merely to stimulate a few powerful new ideas to bring to my students, I got a life-style changing idea of how to connect two areas of expertise into a fun, highly profitable, turnkey online business that frees up most of my time and allows me to pursue my true passions. Within 24 hours I had my handpicked team of experts and basic business plan established.

I could not be happier with The 2,000 Percent Squared Solution, and look forward to applying it to many future endeavors. I recommend this book to anyone who is ready not only to see great possibilities, but to those of you who want to be compelled by ideas that are so exciting to you that you just can't stop yourself from taking actions to reach and exceed them.

I was a champion and still was unable to realize outside success does not equal inside success.... Dr. Moylan has been teaching me for almost 15 years now, how to use the very therapy he presents in his books to improve my perception of love and life. This is positive psychology! This book shows someone that all disorders and illnesses are treatable. This book allows an individual to see that it is easier to understand the causality of negative thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors in order to throw out the things that do not work for you, and keep the things that do. This can make miserable people less miserable! The only consequence to buying and reading and implementing this book into your life is positivity! This will improve your life, help you become happier and more productive. In your rush to do something about people in trouble and repairing damage in yours or someone elses' lives, EMOTIONAL CORE THERAPY is the way to be concerned. As a student-athlete I am better able to nurture my talent and measure my different forms of emotions using Dr. Moylan's Emotional Core Therapy in order to create better meaning and reach my own and help another build happiness. It is my mission to reach my goals, and help other people get what they want as well, and I am so grateful to experience love and leisure in as profound a way I am now after learning, savoring, and amplifying the skills within Emotional Core Therapy. I am no longer confined to the hell of unhappiness because I am connected to the real flow of the universe! One with the music. I have intense concentration. I know what my highest strengths are and I am using Emotional Core Therapy to re-craft my life. What I get using Emotional Core Therapy is absorption. This way I am in the service of something larger than I am. This is a beautiful book, and lovely read, including assignments and examples of each section of Emotional Core Therapy for how one can savor and begin to better design their life towards happiness and mindfulness. The author has done many philanthropic things to help my satisfaction of life improve. Thank you Dr. Moylan!!!

This is not just a book about confidence, it's a book about success in life in general. But more importantly it doesn't just talk about success and confidence, it tells you how to get it. It's one of the best self development books I've read. I would highly suggest combining what you learn from this book with Jack Canfield's "Success Principles" book. Both book covers similar themes but each book has its own gems. Brian Tracy has hit the nail on the head  this book. Read it, apply it consciously, and your life will change.

This book explains that the difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is their mindset!  If you're sick of your job (and who isn't?), or you want to start your own business, or you want to be rich, reading this book is a great first step.  Putting these mindsets into practice will make you rich.  I am not rich yet, but I only read the book 2 months ago. Since then, though, i've started my own corporation, assembled a team, and I am sure that I will not need my day job by the end of the year!  But I took what he said seriously and put it into practice.  As quoted in the book "Learning and not doing is not to learn.  Knowing and not doing is not to know."  I now have the successful mindset, and the world is my oyster.  I wish everyone knew what I now know thanks to this book.

I am going to raise $5,000,000 dollars for a business I'm building. I am specifically using the Napoleon Hill plan to get it.
I highly recommend this particular book. This is the Rolls Royce of the Rolls Royce of success books. I own this version. I have given several as gifts.
"The Secret", "Neuro-Linguistic Programming" etc... were all stolen from this book. Why? because they work! I have seen enough evidence to know that there is literally gold in these pages! (you have to be willing to do EXACTLY as it says).
Napoleon Hill didn't make up these ideas- he got them from interviewing many very successful men. He just distilled the basics of what got them to their lofty heights. I have seen people use this plan. I have seen them do extremely well. I know it works, and I know it will work for me.
Think and Grow Rich is a very meaty book. Every single page contains vital information. This book IS a workbook in it's entirety. I use the original book as a workbook. I use red and blue pens to underline important information. I put stars next to particularly vital information. I put circles next to passages that contain specific actions. I use my computer to customize his program into mine, and to print out things that need to be. I re-read the book regularly. I am putting this book into ACTION.
Do yourself a favor and get this particular version book (not an amended or updated version either!) Get the leather bound deluxe version... and PUT IT TO WORK! MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

Super Coach is for anyone who wants go waaay beyond "self improvement" to truly transforming their life and way of "Being." If you are considering hiring a coach, read this book first and apply the information... you might just amaze yourself at what you can accomplish.

If you are a coach, it's 253 pages of pure gold. This book was first recommended to me by the Ultimate Coaches, Steve Hardison and Steve Chandler... and it astonished even them. Michael reveals the inner workings of transformation and anything less than that is as Steve Chandler says... "Is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic."

Super Coach is one of those rare books that have transformed my perception and how I show up for life... it's earned a spot on my "re-read at least 3 more times" bookshelf.

I was very impressed with Randy's book. It is a must read!  I have read many "self-improvement" books, but this is truly from the heart and soul. Randy has a way to indirectly demonstrate the true purpose in life. Each and every one of us are blessed but whether we choose to see it or not can be a mystery. Success Bound takes the mystery out of the equation. This is NOT a typical "self-help" book, but a guide to "self realization" that is designed to gently, but firmly look inside ourselves for the truth of who we really are. You may find we are not whom we think we are, but living someone else's dreams and desires while robbing ourself of our true purpose and happiness. I recommend this book very much to all. It is enjoyable to read. Very informative for business and in our daily life.
I love the side-bar of the phrases and quotes from successful people past and present. Positively, Positive! Something you want to read over and over!
Great Job Randy!  May God Bless you and yours.

I'm a huge fan of personal development and this is by far the best book I have ever read. This Volume has a ton of fantastic tools to help you get the most out of this time-tested piece. I love the huge margins and with plenty of room to work. Small, short quotes from various successful people complement this text in an amazing way - but the real attraction is the tools outside of the text. This is a version will really help you get all you can from Mr. Hill's best work!

Ben Newman has delivered his best book yet with "Own Your Success" and he is quickly on his way to being one of the most influential life strategists in the country.  Ben's strategy of finding and developing a "passion for the process" is by far the most profound concept I have discovered in the motivational literature and has truly revolutionized the way I approach my own law firm and my life.

The concept is simple yet profound - the most certain way to success is to focus daily on the process itself, and not obsess/worry/contemplate on what the "final" result may be.  In other words, take one play at a time in life, in business, in everything.

The real genius of this book is Ben gives concrete and practical examples of HOW to do this.  I have personally used his concepts in building my law firm and I can state without hesistation they have accelerated my firm's growth, client base, and overall financial health.  If you want to improve your life immediately, read this book.  It a fast paced and interesting read, and if correctly implemented, you will experience more success than you can even imagine.  Very good book.

The book is very well written obviously, and the story compelling. More than that though, the book has a clear blue print for improvement/success in your own endeavors. No, it is not just another self-help book, far from it.
Look, I am as competitive as the next guy and have always gotten up after getting knocked down. Daron's "Call an Audible" was a bit of a wake-up call though: I can already think of a few specific instances when I chose the easy way out instead of keeping my head down and powering on.
I hardly ever talk about books I read, or gift them to others. This one is different. I finished Daron's book last night and already bought it for a friend of mine and made plans for my wife and son to read it. Right now, I'd say it is life-altering. Do me a favor - just buy the book and read it. $16+tax and a few hours later, I truly believe you will agree w/ me and thank Coach D.

Mr. Grunder's book is very informative, personal and most importantly helpful. The methods work..I am living proof.  I have followed  the steps offered in this book and I have read this book twice already and have drawn inspiration every time I read it -that I carry it with me everyday to recharge my batteries.
It's not one of your typical self help book that you have read before-Folks this one hits the target every time.
I urge anyone who owns their own business or is kicking around the idea to start one a very simple step BUY THIS BOOK! I cannot
wait for the audio to accompany this book!

If you want to grow and develop, become more-self aware of the world you are creating for yourself, then this is a book for you! This book empowers you to fulfill your potential and break damaging patterns of thought and behaviour that have been posing as obstacles on your journey and preventing you to succeed in fulfilling your dreams.

I have read a number of books on personal development and more often than not, they left me feeling even more critical toward myself as I could not, through the same techniques that Christopher A. Pinckley describes, achieve long-term, positive results. Sooner or later I felt rather disempowered as I felt I was failing, was not disciplined enough to through visualisation, meditation and affirmation achieve my goals.

I found this book truly enlightening, empowering and the very style of writing made it quite personal for me as I felt guided thorugh the process. Christopher A. Pinckley is very honest about his own journey of personal development and overcoming his negative pattern of thought and behaviour which adds a very special, personal touch to his book. I felt supported on my own journey and questioning what reality I want to create, what thought and behaviours I have that have prevented me to achieve that so far and how to overcome that.

It may prove difficult indeed to appreciate that we live a reality which we have created ourselves and blame it all on external sources including difficult boss at work making our working life unpleasant, unloving partner making us feel neglected etc. Instead of continuing this train of thought which lefts us feeling disempowered and even more disappointed in others thus taking us even further awyay from achieving our goals, this book helped me to reprogramme my way of thinking.

Christopher A. Pinckley guides you through the process by providing examples of negative thought pattern and how to turn it into positive, building your self-awareness and resources to help you stay on the right course. His style of writing, honesty and examples which come from his own experience of working on himself and then helping others to achieve their goals makes you feel suppported through the process and helps you stay on the right path.

The book truly makes you appreciate that in order to make changes in your life, although it may prove difficult at times, ultimately it is the best thing you can do for yourself: develop self-awareness and not remain in the old track of thought. Instead break through it and realese the potential in you. This book will no doubt make you relise that the journey of personal development may prove challenging at times but you are not alone and it is part of the journey we must pass in order to achieve our goals.

When I first read The 12 Factors of Business Success I was still running my Group Coaching practice. I
was instantly struck by how it could significantly help Executives in all aspects of their lives - please
do not let the book title dissuade you. I was so enamoured with the lessons in 12 Factors that I
started recommending it in place of Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - the 12
Factors can be applied in all aspects of our lives to make a profound difference.

The authors are all High Achievers in there respective fields and the lessons covered in 12 Factors are
deep rooted in first hand experiences, ancient wisdom, and positive psychology (which incidentally
also has its foundation in Aristotelian and Stoic teachings). 12 Factors aims to wake us out of a
slumber of mediocrity and show us that if we sincerely want something, the potential to bring it into
reality already exists within us, as Thomas Edison stated "If we did all the things we are capable of
doing, we would literally astound ourselves." So how do we "astound ourselves?" The authors
remind us that it's our `daily habits' that need to change to get different results.

The authors repeatedly show throughout 12 Factors that "You become your behavior not your
intentions and by doing so become not only a better human being but a higher achiever."

I have read this book 4 times in the last 8 months and each time it just grows better and better - more at [...]

I absolutely love the success principles and have actually gone through the coaching program as well.  If you are motivated to make a change in your life this book will help to catapult your way to the success you desire.
