How to Get what You Want and Want what You Have

Rating:
Summary: Without question...another best seller!
Review: Very often when an author pens a best seller s/he just keeps rewriting it with new titles and bigger pictures of themselves - but John Gray has gone to a whole new plane with his latest book. He has found a way to go even deeper in his crusade to help the human heart find joy. He is, in the words of Paul Simon "A most amazing man!".

Summary: Great Book
Review: I thank Oprah for telling John to write this book, It is great. John Gray introduced many of these ideas on the Oprah Winfrey Show. She was so impressed that she asked him to write this book - an Oprah fan.

Summary: Learn personal success from the Mars-Venus man!
Review: This book lays out just how to find out what's keeping you from succeeding in your life. If you find your emotional blocks and follow the suggestions, you automatically will feel more love, confidence and joy in your life. And those love tanks. So simply laid out but such powerful information. The man who has so successfully helped millions of people with their relationships now tells us all how he did it and for under $20! I've read a lot of self-help books and this is the best.

Summary: Great insights given on how to break thru blocks to success.
Review: I enjoyed this book immensely and recommend it to everyone interested in making the most of their life. I've read a lot of self-help books on how to attain success through various steps, but this one truly addresses what it takes to get what you want. I learned that life's not about getting more and more -- it's about appreciating what you have and also making it okay to go for more. It tells how to break through emotional blocks, something that I saw John Gray do on his Oprah Personal Success series that aired in the Fall. If a person puts into practice what Dr. Gray suggests, good results will happen, I have no doubt. It's already happening in my life. This is no doubt the best investment in a book that I've ever made.

Summary: So informative and helpful. Gave the answers I was seeking.
Review: John Gray is now moving out of just helping people communicate with the opposite sex and is teaching what he knows about becoming successful. I truly appreciated his candor and easy-to-read book. I not only am inspired to begin meditating on a regular basis but I have now had my eyes open to the possiblity of getting what I want and being happy with what I already have. Thank you Dr. John Gray.

Summary: He did it again
Review: Seven years ago my marriage was in touble and through reading John's books I am still married to my wife and my family is intact. I am deeply grateful for the insights he has given me and my wife. I am amazed that John keeps growing and sharing his ideas in such easy to understand and practical ways. His approach to meditation has made it easy for me to practice each day. The stress level in my life decreased dramatically and my energy increased. I recommend this book as a great read with lots of practical, useful information.

Summary: how to fail at life in one easy lesson
Review: This is a very good advise book on how to live the life that has been so great for Mr. Gray. Personally, I do not strive to live as a monk or throw away my marrage. This book contained nothing new that I didn't learn in Jr. High Health and Relationships class.

Summary: John Gray has done it again.
Review: The man has a way with words, but how many cliches and self-evident messages can the market and the Oprah audience absorb? It's unfortunate that so many people want a quick fix and think they will get it from a two-hour read. When you are led to believe that, it is even more harmful upon discovering that it doesn't work that way. Serious books like Speaking of Sadness by David Karp or Undoing Depression by Richard O'Connor or Darkness Visible by William Styron do not show up on shows with the authors performing acrobatics or knocking over blocks labeled with tough problems by using a baseball bat or bowling ball. That might be entertainment, but in the dark times people need to be taken more seriously.

Rating:
Summary: This book is pure-tee drivel.
Review: Not only is Gray responsible for the most annoying titles in a best-seller list full of them, his books live up to what the titles promise. If a reader wants to believe that the cliches Gray shovels forth will indeed bring happiness, then they probably will. However, readers with a teensy bit of cynicism will only be turned off by his bromides.
