Summary: Old teaching in a new style, good !
Review: Basic concepts of the book are among old teachings such as Jung, Budda and Zao-zhu etc. I wonder why every great teacher repeatedly teach a same teaching in concept.
Perhaps, there is One Truth in the universe.

Summary: What Kind of Movie Are You Making Out of Your Life?
Review: I have bookshelves [literally] full of self-help and motivational books, esoterica and New Age books, books on shamanism and psychic skills....enough volumes to open my own bookstore. All of these books [well, almost all] have been great helps, and comfort in times of spiritual and emotional turmoil. I must say I thought I had read it all by now, but this book was a wonderful surprise. As an amateur actor [community drama and one low budget film] I have savored the thought that the art of acting, and the production of good comedy and drama, is a great metaphor for what we are doing when we choose to be born. The author's phrase "total immersion movie" is a good one. [That's exactly what separates a good actor from a mediocre one, a good play or movie from those not so good: how much "total immersion" has been achieved. The same "faith" and "risk" that an actor takes in assuming another persona, in front of all those people (!), is the same faith and risk that we must take to enjoy our lives, or to achieve transformation, or so it seems to me.] And so Mr. Scheinfeld says, but much better than I am saying it here. Imagine my delight to discover a WHOLE BOOK devoted to the metaphor of life as "movie-making"! Reading The Invisible Path to Success brought great peace of mind and confirmation.

Summary: Oh, I love this book.
Review: I ordereed this book on Internet when the author is going to release his book. So the book I have bought is the trial paperback version, with a blue cover, not the beautiful one you have. His idea helped me a lot. What I think if you are interested in this book is that, you want to be successful, but you find yourself weak, and thus you want to make yourself stronger. His method helps quite well, although there is something I do not agree. Namely, the part I do not agree is that, I hate what he said, we shall forget about the rules. May be I am an Asian, that I see rules important. But forgeting about this, other rules helps as well. You will think about if you are walking on the right track or not? I highly recommend this book.

Summary: A unique outlook on what life is, and one that makes sense.
Review: I was expecting a motivational style book, but found that Scheinfeld delivers more than expected; A unique philosophy on how and why we accomplish what we do. If you are willing to accept his strange and beautiful concept of how we succeed, and are willing to follow him on the path of directing your own life story, he offers a way to write the script as you live it. His vision of what life actually is, and why things are the way they are, has given me a new perspective on "what it's all about". Like any great idea, it is fascinating and discomforting and irresistable.

Summary: The movie of life
Review: I was lucky enough to stumble upon the author's website first, and after feeling like I'd stumbled upon something I'd been seeking for a long time, I quickly bought the book. I then read it from cover to cover - twice! The author's view about life being like a movie, and you're the director in charge, certainly creates a different perspective to your own life, and about how you can take control and bring into your life those things you really want. It's a personal development book with a difference. It's incredible, and definitely worth reading, if only to see what the fuss is all about. You never know, it might be something you need in your own movie, in order to continue to the next scene.

Summary: One of the best books ever written on manifesting your dream
Review: If you are willing to look into the larger Way of how Things Work, this book will serve you well. I know it did me. I was just struggling through life on all levels, when this book was recommended by a new friend. What a life changer! Since I now understand How It Works, I am infinitely more peaceful, more centered, and more successful in all ways in my life. I am eternally grateful for having the tools and understanding this book offers and I would recommend it to anyone seeking clarity, vision, and support on their path.

Summary: An old concept made very new
Review: Is the universe planned and ordered or is it random and directionless? Is there a Force in charge or do we create our own reality--or is it both? It seems to me that a lot of people are confused about these questions. I certainly was. I've believed in a Plan for my life since I was quite young. Later in life I began to explore my role in the process. I became interested in doing visualizations and affirmations (in additions to prayers) to bring about the goals I set. Sometimes they worked. Sometimes they didn't. Sometimes I got a yes answer to prayer. Sometimes a no. Robert (Bob) Scheinfeld has written a book that reflects many of the conclusions I've reached in my own journey. What I like most about the book is that it's written simply and clearly. Bob presents seven steps for us to take to navigate the "path to success" anywhere we really want to go. I was especially glad to find an author who agrees with me that a lot of what's being said about "creating your own reality" doesn't work. He says that much of it doesn't even make sense. "People say what you focus on you create. But take a close look again. Think about all the things you focus on every day--the things you want, the things you don't want, the things you're afraid of, the things you expect. Do they all show up in your life? Again, if you're like me and most of the people I've worked with, you'll see that only a small percentage of what you focus on actually shows up in your life." He questions why sometimes we do reach our goals and not others; why techniques work sometimes and not other times and for some people and not other people; and why some of our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings show up and others don't. Bob says he knows that there may be a conflict between what we have believed all our lives and what he is talking about. It's true that his viewpoint is different from much of what's being written out there, but in the very first paragraph of Chapter One he says, "Let go of opinions and use what works for you." What he means by "works for you" is that it produces the results you want. You won't find the kind of spiritual language in this book that you do in many other self help books. It is implied, but, again, you are free to substitute whatever language works for you. The concepts transcend any tradition. The most affirming part of the book for me is his view of why certain things happen to us that feel "bad" at the time they're happening. We need to back off and look at the larger picture. If life is random, then we're always a victim. Bob reached his conclusions after struggling for years with unresolved emotional issues, and he frankly shares personal situations in which he operated from old anger, old beliefs, old pain, and old confusion. The examples he gives are similar to a number of like circumstances in my own life so I could easily relate. Bob is clearly bucking the tide with this first book in a series that he has planned, but his arguments are compelling, and for me, more convincing than a great deal of other books on the subject. "It's time to remember who you really are--beneath all the layers of programming and conditioning--beneath all the layers of what other people told you about who you should be, how you should act, and what you should feel and do."--Amen to that, Bob.

Summary: Invisible Path to Success deserves an Oscar!
Review: Okay, so that was a corny title, but I thought it would be fun to continue with the "your life as a movie" theme from the book. I definitely enjoyed this book, and I devoured it in a day. The best thing is that the concepts are SO EASY to apply to your life! And Scheinfeld does a great job of teaching you the important points so that you remember them. Okay, you say, so it's easy to apply and you can remember the important points....but does it work? The answer is YES! I've put a number of "ads into the network" and so far, almost everything that I've asked for has manifested in my life. The book also left me with a sense of peace, happiness and more control as far as what happens in the next scenes of my "total immersion movie"--my life. I'm looking forward to the next volume in the Invisible Path Series!

Summary: O God why am I so stupid?
Review: Reading through book, I hade a strange filling that I already know author idea from somewhere. Then at chapter "nine" I finally got the revelation from a template latter for my movie director (idea from the book). Ha. This is the same idea us in "The 11th element" and yes also author is the same. Only big difference is that in this book there is no grandfather who give him the system us it is in "The 11 element". He just changed his idea from CEO to Movie director, which lives in clouds above your head, waiting on you letter. Shame on me! My advice: When you are deciding to by a self help books from reviews please read how many people have really made something from it.
Just believe in what you want, do what your intuition tells you, respect your body and breathe, clear your mind of negative chat and you are on the path to the VISIBLE success. Yes, I do not recommend this book.
