Summary: Practical and Revealing
Review: As with other reviews I've read, I wish to commend WishCraft for its practical and effective approach to strategy planning and development.

I first read WishCraft in 1990. I was homeless and emotionally destitute, in the worst part of my mid-life crisis, and clutching at straws to find ways to rebuild my life. A friend whose couch I was sleeping on suggested I give it a read, and I did.

I have since rebuilt my life. I have the wife of my dreams, a home overlooking Victoria Harbor in Hong Kong and a brand-new, bright and shining son, all of which I treasure.

This is two "five year plans" down the road, and I still use the book's tools as an outline for planning and shaping my life. It is not the only tool I use, but it is invaluable. It provides a reference for me to determine and adjust my life's goals.

Like any such book, I don't believe you should marry it. It is not a bible. Rather, it is a guidebook, and especially suited for those of us who have not had any training is creating life strategies.

Summary: A good value
Review: How do you get what you really want? This simple tape can help start that process of identifying worthwhile desires in writing and plugging those desires into a good plan on a definite calendar timetable. Starting backwards with the desired end result first and then moving backwards to the beginning stages can help. A good value.

Summary: The most valuable book in my library!
Review: I can't thank Barbara Sher enough for this book. It is made for procrastinators like me who know we're made for greater things, but can't for the life of us figure out what. It is split into two parts. The first section puts you back in touch with your childhood genius (we were ALL geniuses) and helps you figure out what you love and what you want. The second section shows you exactly how to get it. It's simple, brilliant, and if I can do it, anyone can. I read this book two years ago (after putting it off for 4, of course) and have realised my dream of being a cartoon voice! Buy it, but more importantly, don't put off reading it.

Summary: A positively exciting experience!
Review: I don't tend to think of self-help books as "exciting"... but, unlike any of the others I've read, this is one I turn to again and again whenever I need some inspiration. I got it out of the public library originally, then bought my own and have given it to more than one friend since. The second time I read this book, it got me to sit down and actually sketch out the characters, plot, and scenes for the novel idea I'd been kicking around. (Now I have to read it again to make myself get back in gear!) It's worth reading just for the exercises in the first half: creative takes on the usual 'brainstorming' sort of activities, which actually yield useful insights into what makes life satisfying to you on a day-to-day level. Altogether excellent for reorganizing your priorities and your direction in life -- in big ways or small ways.

Summary: Wishcraft Helps Wishes Come True
Review: I found this book about 7 years ago on the recommendation of a friend. Since then I've shared it with several other friends. This book sets you free to find out who you really are, what you really want, where your passions are and how you can get there.

Why should we spend most of our working lives in jobs we don't like? This book really helped me see I could make a living at what I loved.

I used to be a Legal Assistant. Now I'm now a working singer and actress, with a computer consultancy on the side. I am very happy and doing work I love.

Summary: Success Teams even work over email: [e-mail]!!!
Review: I have run FREE WishCraft Success Teams for 10 years. My team found me the best jobs in the hardest times: I went from $40k/yr to $180k/yr!! 99% won't join: the 1% joiners are often millionaires and executives. The surprising byproducts are: credibility, awareness, intimacy, networking, positive thinking habits, changing bad habits, focus, I even use my detailed "Success To Do List" to prove I am too busy to get volunteered! Over email it can be almost all automated, making this the most efficient support technique possible!
