Success Is Just One Wish Away

Summary: Stop wishing and just read this great book![.]
Review: I read this entertaining book on Thanksgiving Day and am so thankful of the message the Author tries to deliver. Sure, the story can be edited down in some places, but maybe the wacky sense of humor keeps you read on. Well, some people like shortcuts while others prefer the scenic routes. Bottomline is you can finish this book in about 3 hours. And that's not a lot at all if that 3 hours spent will improve the quality of your life. At the end of my reading, I (a typical procastinator) actually took some action just exactly as the Author advised. And I'm confident that the future me will be more successful, more passionate and definitely happier (just like Mack, Monica and George in the story). Buy this book, read it, AND DO THE EXERCISE AT THE END. Your wish shall be granted!

Review: I thought Writers Group review was a little snotty. I read the book and I really loved the story and it jolted me into doing some new and terrific things. As for it being short, I liked that. I've lent the book out and people have read it in one sitting, got inspired and thanked me for it. My review isn't as a professional critic but one from somebody where a book made a real difference in my life.

Summary: I was impressed Again
Review: I'm a fan of Jon Spoelstra's work since I accidently picked up Marketing Outrageously. This is the second of his work, and again the author grabbed me in the first chapter. Three hours later, I finished the book. It was full of insight, similar to Who Moved the Cheese. I highly reccomend this.

Summary: Success Is Just One Wish Away
Review: This book may be only 149 pages long but at times you feel like you are reading War and Peace. I am in no way suggesting that this book is a classic nor is it my intention to disrespect the classic War and Peace. The fact is that a majority of this book is simply filler. This book should have been edited down to at least one half of its current length. Ironically, the long drawn out, choppy style of the book not only takes away from the message of the book, but also runs contrary to it. Again, the author's message is a worthy one. It is the idea that one should "wish for success in what they do for a living." The author's point is success in one's work leads to joy and happiness in all areas of life. In the last chapter and epilogue of the book the author does a good job in describing the steps involved in attaining success. Simply, you must get an "oil change, lube job, and tune-up" on a regular basis. I do not feel it is fair for me to give the rest away. Nevertheless, save yourself the time and money and just read the last chapter and epilogue in the bookstore.

If you really want to read small books of this genre that are packed with solid advice throughout it then I suggest you take a look at the masters in the field, Ken Blanchard and Spencer Johnson. I personally like One Minute for Myself, Who Stole my Cheese, the Precious Present and Big Bucks.
