 Proven self-actualization techniques July 16, 2008
Rolf Dobelli (Luzern Switzerland)
One day, a student of Socrates asked his venerable teacher how to become wise. Socrates led the student to a nearby lake and the two entered the water. Then, he held the student's head under the surface as the frantic young man fought wildly. Finally, Socrates freed him. The young man gasped and gulped. Socrates watched calmly and said, "When you desire wisdom with the same intensity that you desire to breathe, then nothing will stop you from getting it." Brian Tracy uses this graphic anecdote to discuss the intensity of thought and feeling that should accompany the work of setting your goals, a potentially life-changing exercise. Every chapter of Tracy's well-written book contains counsel about achieving your dreams as well as practical advice on perfecting your life. Tracy uses plenty of illustrative examples, such as the Socrates story. He reviews many classic motivational tools and techniques. Some self-help authors lure people into wasting hard-earned time and money on books that don't motivate or inspire. However, getAbstract recommends Tracy as a genuine teacher with much to convey about using the power of your mind for personal growth. And if the message here echoes his other books, it is no less valuable for that.
 Buy an A4 notepad & pen FIRST - Then GET this book!! October 5, 2007
Terry Tozer (Reading, UK)

Once you discover a really good book that works well & easy for you, all you want to do is RAVE about it!! With this outstanding book from one of America's greats - Brian's Tracy, why not? It really "does exactly as it says on the label" (or front cover in this case.)
You only have to briefly scan all of the reviews below to see that this is a powerful book that works. His message in simple & obvious, but with this book Brian shows you why & how so many of us don't or can't succeed in our ambitions to be happy & successful, when it is the right of everyone to enjoy life to the full.
If you've read his other book "GOALS!" first, then don't despair. This book has exactly the same message but goes much deeper into the workings of how health, wealth, happiness & peace of mind can all be achieved, providing you with a dearth of inspiration & motivation to try it out instantly & get going straight way.
This book is a little larger & a little harder going than "Goals!", only in that the chapters aren't broken down into convenient sections where you can pause & take a breath/ Nonetheless, it is written in such an enthusiastic way that keeps you interested all the way.
This ought to be the very last book you buy on the subject, but before you read (& more importantly re-read) it, please make sure you have a fresh note-book (preferably A4) & pen to hand. The book is jam packed with all the essential information to kick you off in the right direction the minute you start reading.
If you've got this far already then you need this book, look no further, your intuition was right in looking here. You won't be disappointed. It's quite a long book but with a little perseverance, you too will be glad you bought & read it. Check out the Amazon sales ranking to see how high this book is valued by thousands of likeminded customers.
The Life Manual June 27, 2007

3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I couldn't agree more with an earlier reviewer - Safe-Trade - I also own and have read countless Self Help titles on achievement, success and self-Development, and I can honestly say that this is the one book that covers all that you need to know in how to achieve what you want in life. No other book seems to come close - not even Tony Robbins. This book covers a lot of metaphysical stuff, of which I have found difficult to understand in other books, but this one explains the laws very clearly, and gives examples of them in use.
This is a quite a long book, but it covers pretty much everything that you need to know in getting and achieveing what you want in life - you could call it "The Life Manual"
I would strongly recommend this book, if you feel stuck in a rut in your life, whether at work or in your personal relationships and don't know what to do, this book will give you the clarity to move forward and achieve what you really want - as he rightly says -"You are responsible" for everything that happens to you!
I intend to read this book over and over again, until every little detail is ingrained in my mind. Enjoy!
all of brian's books in one January 27, 2007

I've now read about 12 of Brian Tracy's books, and this is one of the best and most substantial.
Most of the material here is repeated in his later books, and this earlier work covers his strange ideas about metaphysics a bit more than the others.
However the three hundred or so pages are bursting with good ideas, mainly about taking responsibility, setting goals and making plans.
I've read this two or three times now, and it's up there with two other Brian Tracy favourites of mine, Goals and Create Your Own Future.
British readers should not let Brian's cheesy appearance put them off! These are the best self-help books ever in my opinion, far more concise than Anthony Robbins, and much less wishy-washy than Susan Jeffers.
This book is exceptional. November 7, 2006

This book is exceptional. Anyone who asks me to refer a good book to them, this book comes top of the list. I was reading reviews before I bought this book and found the reviews to be quite mixed, therefore I want this review to be clear and too the point. For me this book gave me results and the thought processes to push myself further then I had before. The most important sections in my opinion are those on goal setting, making decisions quickly & stretching yourself.
