Summary: Concentrated truth
Review: Let's say you spent a decade or two poring over self-help literature from the likes of Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Brian Tracy, and even the venerable Napolean Hill (as I have done). You've studied eastern traditions and mystical western writings. You've pondered the big questions, but what you want most is to find moment-to-moment meaning in your daily routine. And by the way, it wouldn't hurt if you made a million bucks, mastered the piano, climbed K2 -- or achieved whatever that goal is, that is your own "ultimate intrinsic desire."If so, then you might want to take a look at this little book. Read through it once and you may discern (as I did) that you don't need Robbins' 3-day, $1200 seminar. (Sorry, Tony). You don't need a nine-day zen meditation retreat. You don't even need to read another self-help book. You can go on to other pursuits, feeling confident that you are stringing together a succession of days that will add up to a glorious life lived. I keep "Strategies" on my desk and refer to it often. The daily list of 11 points at the back, which I reread with each morning's coffee, has helped me to achieve far more than I ever dreamed. I am confident it will do the same for anyone else who reads and understands, as it already has done for hundreds of thousands of others since 1973. Thank you, Dr. Kiev.

Summary: You Have To Read This!
Review: Long before we were informed about our "inner children" or "creeping codependence", Dr. Ari Kiev wrote this small, yet powerful masterpiece. What so many authors of this type of book take hundreds of pages to say, Kiev does succinctly and with great depth. Topics covered include goal setting, self-reliance, and relationships with self and others. This book is one you will come back to again and again. It's message is timeless, unpretentious, and relevant to everyday life. It deserves to be on the bookshelves of every thinking man and woman. Once you get a few pages into it, you will find you can't put it down, but more than that, the investment you will have made in absorbing the wonderful content will pay dividends many times over.

Summary: The best self-help book around!
Review: This book cuts right to the chase of accomplishing your goals! Each page is full of stunning insights into life, and he writes it with such clarity, he doesn't need to ramble. No nonsense self help - don't waste your life reading self-help books, get out there and work! Accomplishing your goals will make you feel better, not endless navel-gazing, and journal writing. But, don't think Kiev's writing style is flat, dry, or downbeat. Not at all. He's practical, yet optimistic, uplifting. You can open any page and find terrific insights. I carry this book in my pocketbook at all times, for a daily reminder that is grounded in reality, and inspirational.
