Get on the Path to Success

This is the book that changed the way I look at my success. I purchased the book and read it from cover to cover, then re-read it tagging my favorite chapters. After reading and applying the principles of Jack's book, my business and success soared!

The BEST Ever Book ON Creating Abundance!

Hi,
I am a life coach and therapist. Many of my clients seek help with creating abundance and love in their lives. I refer them to this new book by Jack Canfield. It is well put together, well researched, and it gives my clients something to study when we are not in session. Many of 'The Secret' forerunners are caught up in greed. Jack Canfield is not one of these. He sincerely wants to help others to have a better life. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to create more abundance in their lives.

It works.

This is a good self-help book on goal achievement. It contains many case studies of people who have applied certain principles to overcome extreme odds. The first chapter starts off with taking full responsibility for your life. What you have is mostly what you created. Jack Canfield talks about handling rejection, taking risks, asking for what you want, clarity in your goals and how to move on when something is not working. Throughout the book, there are several websites to visit to assist the reader. Some of the websites are promotional pieces. I have to admit that I was not impressed with Janet Switzer's coaching program. I got called up during my honeymoon to hear a pressure sales pitch that would have cost several thousand dollars for long-distance coaching. Not my idea of a good time.

The book itself is like the Chicken Soup for the Soul series in that wherever you open the book, there are inspirational stories to give you that extra boost to keep on going. I like Canfield's blunt approach to his principles, especially because he is a walking example of them.

But the photo...!

I am not sure why this bothers me so much, but it really does: Jack, could you not have found a photo of yourself that shows you looking HEALTHY instead of SUNBURNT? What is even more perplexing about this bothering me so much is that my "criticism" of the book is that the examples are rather "materialistic". I know that that is how most people start to "design" their lives, but then SAY that! Explain that the first "layer" is to be like a kid in a candy store with unlimited funds and indulgent parents, THEN go on to the next 2 steps of Stephen Covey's Have-Do-Be. I find it interesting that the creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series should have stayed so much on the meterial plane, so to speak. When I read the book for the first time, I thought that my "resistance" must be my "fault"; that I was just angry with the principles. But I have read the book again-twice, in fact-and I realized that the principles are brilliant (I have even started implementing most of them in earnest), my "imaptience" and "irritation" would come when Canfield would manage to soundboth slick and sanctimonious in the same paragraph, if not the same sentence!

To those who complain that ther is "nothing new" in this book, I say, true, AND CANFIELD NEVER PROMISED OTHERWISE. As a matter of fact, he explains several times that this book came from the distillation ofseveral years's worth of reading the success literature. Good for him! Why should such an undertaking be limited to the PH.d candidate? For those who complain that no book can change you, that YOU have to do the work, again I say, TRUE, and SO DOES CANFIELD!

In short, I would say that this is a good overview, but, as a few of the reviewrs have said, in so many words, you can't beat the classics and, to be fair to Canfield, he includes an extensive bibliography and "further reading" list in this volume. So, by all means, start with this but do remember that this is not the be all and end all either.
