Summary: How to Ask the (W)right Question
Review: (1/5)
When I was 20, I copied by hand Dale Carnegie, How to Win Friends and Influence People. By doing this I experienced a simple side effect, I made 7 million Deutschmarks. A lot of money in those days.
When I heard of Kurt and Patricia Wright's book, I copied/extracted the essence and sent my questions to the White House. You'll see, what's going to happen.
My only question to Kurt and Patricia is, why don't you change the title to the most effective How to Ask the (W)right Question and Succeed in Life. http://EnergyChallenge.de/091105.htm

Summary: This book continues to change my life
Review: Breaking the is truly a life-changing book for me. Just another self-help book, I thought. It turned out to be unlike any other self-help book that I've ever read.How is this book different? This is not a book that made me feel good, but never managed to change anything about me, leaving me feel more powerless than before. The authors, Kurt and Patricia Wright, actually manage to engage into a relationship with me, never leaving me off the hook. On the contrary, sometimes I found them to be so inquisitive and personal I put the book down or feel uncomfortable with their questions. It is indeed the questions that are life changing. I never really new how to ask questions of myself and others that actually improve things. You know how in our conversations and thoughts we so often focus on what's wrong and trying to fix that? And how it never really gets us anywhere? Breaking the Rules is about that, about asking right, empowering questions. About learning to recognize your already existing strength and to build on those so we can all reach a state of effortless high performance. After reading this book I can never look at myself the same way again. It's like that image where you could at first only see the old lady, unable to see that there was also a young lady in there. Once you see the young lady you can never "unsee" her. If you are ready for looking at what's right in your own life and the lives of those around you, whether in your personal relationships or in business, you've found your book.

Summary: A remarkable, wise, soul searching book
Review: I didn't expect this book to be so good. It's remarkable, wise, and soul awakening. Concepts such as all stress is self-induced, that all criticism is self-revealing, that every moment has total perfection, are mind stretching, liberating, and empowering. This is a classic book. I'm going to get copies for people I care about. Read it.

Summary: A working manual for driving through life on maximum revs
Review: This is a brilliant, provocative, intriguing, challenging, energising (literally!) book!
What was the best thing for me?
His concept of the Detached Control Achievement patterns (That's me!)
Other great things?
Clarity around how to GET my Life Purpose (two years of Landmark Forum training did not get me to GET that!).
We get more of what we measure (so measure what you want improved)
That I have a "powerful drive to learn" and all the behaviour/thoughts which go with that.
I look at the world through my own eyes, not those of others. No wonder when I ask people about me, what they see is so different from what I see myself! Powerful insights for me here.
And that I need to envision at least 10 years ahead (last year I created a goal of being "Alive, Alert and Active on my 100th birthday" so I've been thinking along the Right lines.)
It's amazing how my perspective changed when I thought in terms of having another 45 years of life to map out and plan!
This is not just a book - it is a working manual for driving through life on maximum revs!

Summary: Increase productivity by adopting positive thought patterns
Review: This is a great book! It's definitely a "sunny" book, though, so if optimism makes you puke you probably won't like it. Kurt Wright examines how the brain handles different types of information and he outlines methods that use your brain's inherent abilities to improve your performance. The book can be used either as a self-improvment tool or as a guide to increase an organization's productivity.

Summary: How to get on a roll and never stop
Review: This is one of the most remarkable books I have ever read about effortless high performance. Wright provides practical, achievable techniques that can take you beyond your wildest dreams, then backs them up with anecdotes. My colleagues and I have used these techniques and achieved remarkable success.
