Summary: A Keeper!
Review: My husband & I have taken turns reading the book and we each have marked pages and notes we find particularly insightful or helpful. Between the two of us, we have used a whole supply of those pop-up Post-it Flags and almost every page of JR's book has a colorful flag -- banners of wisdom to guide our way.

We are so enthusiastic about this book and recommend it highly. We are glad that we know now what we didn't know then!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A little something, the world needs more of!
Review: Parrish's book is brimming with powerful sayings that stay in the mind, just waiting to be conjured up at the right moment. I find myself reflecting on the words in this book on a daily basis. It is a particularly powerful tool if you want to improve your relationships and be a more likeable person. We all want to feel important and Parrish provides some real gems that will surely make you someone others want to be around. As I apply these principles to my life and share them with my family, I find our household harbors more peace and less conflict. We seem to be more focused on each other and as Parrish predicted, my children are seeing that, "All I give is given to myself."

I highly recommend this book to people of all ages. I was particularly inspired by his encouraging message about those who have found the success they desired after mid-life. Upon reading it I felt renewed and empowered about the possiblilties my future holds.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Read
Review: They say that the best way to learn to do anything is to learn at the feet of people who have done it before. This way you learn all the tips and tricks and all the mistakes that can be avoided. Author J. R. Parrish was raised in a house on a dirt street in Macon, Georgia. From these humble beginnings he watched successful people and applied the rules of life that he learned from them. Using these techniques he went from being a milkman to being a millionaire. Mr. Parrish did not have a college education or any other of the advantages we commonly think of as necessary for success. What he did have was this set of success secrets that he had garnered from other successful men. Mr. Parrish attributes his success to following these secrets of finance, business, investing, career, dating, marriage, school, and relationships.

The book is organized into five different age groups so the advice is appropriate for the priorities of that age. This is a highly recommended book for everyone. I will be sure to be giving copies away as appropriate graduation gifts for high school and college students.
