Summary: A cold shower in self help!
Review: As a devotee of self help books, this was a natural choice for a read. But the humour and plot! A natural defuser for serious contemplation, making this the one self help - oops, sorry, self hope - book to read this year.

Summary: The hype was too much, it comes across as self satire.
Review: This self serving book is about making money for the authors. I felt suckered in but did enjoy a few laughs, if you feel like paying a buck per guffaw, then this is for you. Brother Ty does make some very valid points in regards to the preachers of self help. Common sense is something most people have and Buckley proves that conclusively here but wait for the paperback or borrow the thing...

Summary: kindergarden level, boring, save your money
Review: I really felt as though I was suckered in, all the hype etc. I fell for it..It was a very simple book that I was very disappointed in. Boring and certainly did'nt say anything new. I probably read 4-5 books a week and usually keep them all,but this one I passed on with no regrets.

Summary: Becomes boring after first few chapters.
Review: I found this book to be rather dull and repetitive after the first few chapters. The satire was very humorous at the beginning but then I found myself flipping to the last chapters.

Summary: "The Millionaire Next Door": NOT!
Review: You'll never get rich following the financial advise offered in this funny little book but you won't go broke spending 14 bucks for it either. While I won't be buying a copy for everyone I've ever known, as suggested at the end of the book, I will lend a few people the copy I borrowed from a friend. It's definitely a worthwhile read.Buy it. Borrow it. Whatever it. But in the end, give it a go.

Summary: Thank God!
Review: The managers at my company have all signed on to the Covey thing. I'm so glad this book came along: it's excellent satire,and a great antidote to the self-improvement psychobabble currently in vogue. I was reading this book while waiting for a flight and my guffaws had people around me asking what I was reading.

Summary: An extreemly funny book revealing the road to true "success"
Review: This is an extreemly humorous book detailing the path to success in life. I laughed aloud at the well written genuinely "true-to-life" situations Brother Ty narrates in this personal tale of his journey to "Spiritual AND Financial Growth." There is a very tender and heart touching element found in the development of the characters introduced in this story which makes it a delight to read. Also, as a minister myself, (protestant & Presbyterian...so pray for me, my Catholic friends!) I appreciated the accurate use of theology and Scripture found throughout the story, an element missing in many popular "self-help" books. Overall a great book about the insanity (and cure) found in our "growth" oriented modern society. I couldn't help visualizing how this will appear as a screen play. (Now that Robert Downey Jr. is "out and about," he has my vote for "Bro.Ty"!) A fun read that will leave you feeling good about life.

Summary: I MUST TELL YOU ALL...
Review: I must tell you all that this book is outstanding. I read it over and over again, and whenever I read it, I think of Howard Stern and Bababooey! I love it!
Rating:
Summary: Even better than "Thank You For Smoking" !!!
Review: When I saw Buckley's shameless promotion of this book on cable, I KNEW that I HAD to read it. I read it and wasn't disappointed. Send a copy to your favorite PBS station during its next pledge marathon. (It's much better than any of the 'self-help' gurus that THEY flood the airwaves with.)

Summary: Things that make you go hmmmmmm!
Review: I enjoyed this book and on several occassions found myself laughing out loud! The plot was interesting and it was witty! But, what it really made me do is think about every self-help book either I or someone I know has bought and read without any success. Yes, law number seven has truth in it! I would recommend this book to my friends who would like to take a look at how sometimes opportunities stare us right in the face...and yet, we walk around them! Brother Ty's account of the happenings at the monastary made for real page turners, and I finished this book in two days. This book gets a thumbs up from me!
