Rating: Summary: My favorite kind of book Review: Cynthia's book is my favorite kind; one I can pick up when I have a spare moment, and read a short article that really fulfills me and recharges me. It's full of humor and heart, provokes thought, and is good medicine for a mind tired after a long day or needing a boost to start a new one. I'm always thinking of a friend or family member with whom I want to share certain insights, and pass along some wisdom. And I know what's on my gift list for all my favorite people! Kudos to Cynthia for putting together such a treasure.

Rating: Summary: great choice Review: I cerainly can see why all of those famous authors give this book the sendoff it has received. If the reader could develop the marvelous attitude that ms.Brian extolls, Life would be lived to the Max.

Rating: Summary: Can't put it down!! Review: I enjoyed all the personal stories. It is a very inspirational book, all the exercises are fun and helpful. It is easy to read and really get into. This book is a great way to really get to know yourself.
Rating: Summary: Cynthia Brian inspires the courage to dream! Review: I enjoyed Cynthia's book from cover to cover, although it could also be enjoyed a chapter at a time read in any order. The point Cynthia makes through the telling of her own personal stories is that we all are unique, having special gifts and talents--that with courage and perseverance--can be developed to their fullest potential so that we can truly become the "star" we are. Each story embodies a "gift", such as abundance or patience, that when recognized/applied in our lives, together become the building blocks upon which we create our dreams. At the end of each story (of which there are 99)she has a simple but effective exercise that can "awaken" the qualities of that gift within us. Through these down-to-Earth, real-life stories Cynthia inspires us to feel confident that our dreams are attainable if we only dare to dream and believe in our dream. As a teenager actively pursuing my dreams I turn to Cynthia Brian's book often for inspiration.

Rating: Summary: The Good Life Review: There are three types of 'Self-Help' authors.The Wanna-be Greats who tell you what to do and have no idea about how you should accomplish these goals. The Imitate Great who tell you what to do and promise that if you simply imitate them you will achieve success. And The Great who show you how to discover who you are, define what success means to you, and give you action items to help you achieve this greatness for yourself on your own terms. Cynthia, with this book you have reached the level of a GREAT author. Thanks for a wonderful and useful tool that anyone could use to achieve his or her own success.
