Summary: Be Ready to Change, or Don't Bother...
Review: This is an excellent book for anyone who is ready to change. It is not written for closed minds or closed hearts. I found it a relief that the book did not constantly speak of religion. My beliefs are different from the majority of US beliefs and I am very private about my religion. I feel the book does an excellent job of not pushing religion of any sort. The excercises and ideas within the book are creative and interesting. More than that, they work. Peter McWilliams has inspired me to begin thinking in a whole new way and life has become so much more enjoyable for me. Open your heart, open your mind, and begin your own personal journey. However, as the author himself said in one of his books, self-help books only help those who are ready for them. If you are not, I'm sure this is not the book for you.

Summary: Perfect title for an excellant advice book
Review: When you first look at this book the size of it can be intimidating but Peter McWilliams has scattered motivational quotes throughout the book which are impressed upon the subconscious mind due to the formatting that was used. That and the well written and clear advice that he gives on how to overcome 'your comfort zone' holding you back from what you really want out of life combines to set you up for a new burst of energy and ambition for the next stage of your life. At least it worked that way for me.
The author doesn't preach at you but uses an informal and comfortable style to encourage you to achieve your best at whatever point you are in your life. The exercises in the book can be very enlightening on where you are and why you're there instead of where you want to be. I've done these exercises at different times and they are always useful in 'kicking' me in the pants to get me off my buts.
