Rating: Summary: The journey ends before success Review: A devotee of Brian Tracey, I jumped at the opportunity to read this book on success. Unfortunately, the journey ends before he succeeds contrary to the title. After spending half the book getting on the journey and into Africa, Tracy then spends the other half of the book crossing the Sahara desert. The book ends abruptly! You do not finish the journey. I was left wondering about the "end game" of success. Maybe Brian will write another book describing the end of the journey.
Rating: Summary: An Excellent Journey Review: Brian Tracy continues to amaze us all with more timeless knowledge stemming from his own experiences as well as from those that have come before us. This is an excellent book for people of all ages, read it and reap the rewards of timeless ideas that have helped the most successful people thrive in a time when many are just trying to get by.
Rating: Summary: Extremely Interesting, very good "flow" Review: I have read all of Brian's books, I have listened to most of his tapes, and attended several of his seminars here in Seattle. I got less out of this book than I have his other material. This book might be better for those who are getting their first look at Brian's message. Overall, I think Brian is the greatest self-helper in the game. I credit Brian for so many of my accomplishments and personal growth, however at $30.00 for the hardback, this book came up short for me.
Rating: Summary: The Alchemist meets Lawrence of Arabia Review: I just finished reading The Alchemist and saw Lawrence of Arabia some time before.
It is clear to me now where Brian got his literary inspiration.
This book can be summed up as The Alchemist meets Lawrence of Arabia. Probably that's how he pitched this book to his publisher.
There is nothing profound or original in this book.
Rating: Summary: The journey ends before success Review: I truly enjoyed the challenges in this books. As I read, I visualized applying them to life. I have always wanted my life to go at a faster pace and this book (plus others) confirmed for me "life is one oil barrel at a time" or translated into my life "my journey in life is one challenge, one joy, one success at a time". I have not read other books by Brian Tracy (I will in the future) I thank him for telling his challenges in life for others to learn. I always appreciate an author who is human and a good writer.

Rating: Summary: Solid Advice and an Interesting Travel Tale Review: In Success is A Journey, Brian Tracy describes his travels from Europe to Gibralter on the way to South Africa. He and his two young friends boldly act on goal of seeing Africa and making the trip from England to South Africa with little money and lots of ingenuity. After each of the steps in the journey, Tracy shares a lesson drawn from the experience. As it turns out, most of the book is spent on crossing the Sahara. Once the crossing is made, there are only two paragraphs written about the rest of the journey to South Africa. The last sections of the book nicely summarize seven life lessons and the book closes with a good glossary of famous quotations on achievement. There really is not much that is new or revolutionary in the advice given in this book. Nonetheless, the story is well told and there are worthwile lessons for success confronting the smaller Saharas of everyday living.
