Summary: Easy Read, Good teaching points
Review: This is a very good read. If you do not often read books concerning personal development (aka self-help), this book is a good place to start. In brief, I think it is helpful to list some of the most intriguing/valuable portions of this book:1) Most people spend more time planning their vacations each year than they do their lives (says the author). In other words, everything that is worth anything happens because of good planning. A billion dollar business doesn't just happen by luck or happenstance does it? Well neither does the life of your dreams. It takes dedicated, practical planning in the major areas of one's life to get to the ideal state--in health, wealth, peace of mind, love/relationships and true expression (i.e. doing exactly what you want to do). 2) The way you use your mind determines whether or not you succeed-know the functions of the conscious and subconscious mind and how to use them effectively. One's mind is the most precious resource one has. It's like a computer; when you learn how to work it more efficiently, you extract more value from it. 3) Learn the laws of life. Life can be strain-free, happy and very orderly if you know the rules--some call these rules natural law (as the author does), some call them universal law. Once you know the rules and how to apply them, the sky (or higher) is the limit. 4) Take advantage of both your physical and nonphysical (i.e. spiritual and mental) resources and you will assuredly "have it all". In fact, it appears that every study of those who have achieved successful living in all areas of one's life points to the fact that the physical/nonphysical combined elements is the only way to achieve maximum success. It seems clear that all those who have been able to achieve all they desire in all the major areas of their life realized that the nonphysical component is the key. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars because I feel that the author's work could have been more impactful had he spent more time on the most critical element in his equation for success--the mind, particularly one's subconscious, and how to use it. Perhaps in later works he shall do so. I would probably buy his next work if it included real stories of people who used is particular method for success achievement and were able to "have it all". I like the fact that he also demonstrates that money and happiness/good character, etc. are not an either/or trade-off. We can all have great relationships, wonderful friends, careers love and good character, WITH all the money we can ever use and then some. I am also impressed that he gives of his money and time to nonprofits and charities. I wish the author continued success and am happy that he does indeed appear to "Have It All". I would recommend reading this book along with Joseph Murphy's book "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" for maximum impact.

Summary: Learn from the best!
Review: When someone has had not just one HUGE success, but multiple HUGE successes, you want to listen to them and learn how they did it. Well, John Assaraf has had numerous HUGE successes and I'm certainly listening. I recommend that you listen too. The other thing I love about this book is that it focuses on achievement *and* quality of life -- getting the results but enjoying your life and lifestyle too. Great work John! I recommend this book highly.
