Summary: A Great Start
Review: Being a psychiatrist I am exposed to man theories, publications, and other forms of communication regarding improving ones's life. As you can imagine I have become rather skeptical about this genre of "self help" titles. I began reading The Game by Mr. Kelley with a fairly high degree of doubt whether it would have any meaning or standout from other works of its ilk in any way. I must say I was pleasantly suprised and found Part I of to be an excellent outline for the one thing we all strive for... some degree of CONTROL in our lives. Mr. Kelley gives a clear and consise plan to begin this process, followed by more detail in Part II & III, on how to accomplish this life long task. Having been an athlete The Game strikes a cord prompting me to re-examine several aspects of my life and make some changes. This was no mean feat for a cynical physician. I am even going to offer The Game to the employees in my practice as a Holiday gift. One will not find the Holy Grail in any book of this nature, or anywhere else for that matter, but with The Game at least you can begin the search.

Summary: "The Joke", not "The Game"
Review: GIVE ME A BREAK!! Who needs to be told to "enjoy life more" and "laugh more"??? Someone who actually benefits from this book must be in a lot of pain.

Summary: GREAT GAME PLAN FOR THOSE WITH FORTITUDE TO SEE IT THROUGH!
Review: I marvel at the original concept of this "game" and the insightful manner which allows the reader to look deep inside their own self and do some serious soul-searching. Like life in the real world, this game covers a wide variety of topics: Balance, Body and Health, Money, Relationships, Spirituality, Tools, Environment, Education, Family, Work, Charities, Hobbies, etc. For the most part, these are areas that make up our everyday life and finding the time, energy and resources to pull all these aspects of our life together is not an easy task. Often the demands in our life seem too great and usually the last person we find time for is ourself. In addition, many couples do not make the time to strengthen the relationship they have with their partner. Strong lasting realtionships do not just happen; like a beautiful garden, they require constant nurturing if they are to grow and survive. The author's concepts and advice on how to find balance and harmony in all these areas, and strengthen relationships, causes one to seriously contemplate what is truly important in life's journey, and what is less important and really quite insignificant in the whole overall picture. The only commitment one must have for maximum benefit is the commitment of the full 90 days. As a counsellor, I can attest to the fact that for most people it will take at least that long, if not longer, to change old habits.This is a book, a game, and an adventure into self-discovery. Ideally the book works best if you have a partner, and is centred around that concept - definitely worth a five star rating.

Summary: Playing "The Game" was an incredible experience
Review: I played the game as a participant in the coaching program. It forever changed the way that I look at life. During the game I cleaned and reorganized closets, drawers and rooms. I built a zen garden in my backyard, painted a garden on my bedroom walls, reduced my body fat by 15% and increased my reading speed from 300 words per minute to 2600 words per minute. I recorded over 21,000 concious acts of will during the 90 days that I played the game. The value of choosing a partner for this game is immeasurable. It's good to have another person to be accountable to. This structure was very effective for me on those days that I was tempted to let a work-out slide or if I just didn't feel like completing on a committment. The book stresses the importance of structure, community and affinity in achieving goals. It guides the reader through exercises that help to put these in place. There are many real-life examples in the book from past "game" players. This clearly demonstrates that anyone can achieve their goals by putting the principles of The Game to work. The tone of the book is conversational, making it very easy to read. This is not just another self-help or motivational book. If you truly have the desire to realign your priorites and live your life with passion and purpose, you will enjoy this book.
