Summary: A Great Book Which You Should Not Miss. Read It!
Review: First, I want to say, I wish to give this book one hundred stars, but the highest choice here is 5 stars.

This book (Chinese-English edition) sits in a small bookstore near my house. I have at least saw it for two times but it did not attract me then. For it has a bad Chinese name: A Lesson of [money]. The third time, I picked it, read half of it, then I found it is a GREAT one. So I bought it with great surprise. I recommended it to a waitress one hour later, to two or three friends the next day. I said, "that is a book regarding you can make you dreams true, no matter what dream, and you can practice it." They smiled and, must thought me as crazy. They even did not ask to browse the book. I feel really pity for them. They missed such a great book, and the great wisdom within there! I am also surprised that this book is not a New York Bestseller. It should absolutely be. Too many people ignored it. It should be taught in every primary school or middle school.

I am fortunetely the translator of The Four Agreements ( Chinese edition). When compared with T4A, this book is like a kind of skill, while T4A is a science which requires quite some skills. This is a single skill, so it is more practical. T4A is also good, but it is really hard to realize. Many people just read it and leave it aside. To use T4A, you'd better take a 9-month course of Toltec Warrior. But to use this book, you just need to practice it by yourself. Who said that it is a tale? I blieve it is true. I am seriously planing to practice it. If it is proved by me to be real, I would like to go out and teach it.

I also have read Castaneta's books. That, together with T4A's knowledge, let me guess the master in this books is also a nagual ( shamman ). Who have the same guess?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun and Motivating
Review: I love old books brought back to life, and I really did like this one. The mysterious 'Master' is a good character, and he makes goal setting and achievement sound fun and exciting.

It seems, after reading it a few times, that a good arena for applying this method would be the stock market. The narrator's foil character, a man who was broke and sickly before meeting 'The Master', sprang to life and began working passionately toward building a fortune in the stock market after he learned the lessons.

One thing you should note, however, is the date of the first printing: 1929. Beware that this book was written at the time of maximum irrational exuberance for wealth-building.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Read it!
Review: I've had positive changes in my life from applying "A Course in Miracles" and "The Nature of Personal Reality", but I wasn't seeing something. This book helped me to see. Remarkable in its simplicity, it distills many of the ideas in the two aforementioned books in just a few pages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: J-YO
Review: If I could give it more stars, I would. I truly enjoyed this gem. I read it several times. In addition, for those of you who have read it, for fun, go first to page five and read paragraph one. Then, go to page 1 and read the italicized sentence at the top of the page. Mix in a portion of faith and therein lies the secrets of the ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LOVED this inspiring book!
Review: Rather than a set of trademarked self-help techniques from ,chuckle, Ph.Ds, this book reveals THE secret without the usual frills.

You've been looking for your favourite pair of Gucci shades. You looked in the drawers, in the car, downtown. Eventually you find yourself at improbable shores, and then Mars, still looking for the pair of shades.

Then the Master in this book turns up, only to point at the top of your head.....

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE ONLY SUCCESS BOOK YOU'LL EVER NEED!
Review: Read this book and THINK, really think and what you need to do to change your life will be as plain as the nose on your face! It is just plain old common sense, but it forces us to do that which most people run away from,it forces us to THINK.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A live changing expirience
Review: This book litterally made a huge change in my live, it came to me in a very strange way, from a long lost friend, in a moment I was going trough a great depression. It made me get up, and recover with extraordinary power.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: LOVED this inspiring book!
Review: This book truly will give you the understanding to create your own success, however you define it. I plan to read it many times, right along with Wattles' Financial Success--which you should read if you feel that having riches is somehow ungodly, or if you think one must be competitive to be successful. In short, buy this book--don't borrow it! The world will be a better place if everyone read and understood the principles behind these two books!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Power and beauty in one little book
Review: This little book has been with me several years and its simplicity and beauty had turn it in to my favorite. What it amazes me more is that I am reading by now great books by U.S. Andersen(TMW) and R. Collier (TSOTA) and they include in detail what this little book already said. Read it, it works.
