I really like the words on the cards. A few of them feel trite, but most of them make me stop and think about hings with a new perspective. I also like how the text is broken up into phrases on the cards. It helps me to think through the words more thoroughly.

The images on the cards are an absolute throwaway. Whoever was in charge of the visuals for this deck should be fired.

I like the K.I.S.S. principle, so I really like this book. Too many books seem to have a lot more words than required to get the author's idea across.

The concepts are so simple but it is really insightful. I also love her book: If Love Is A Game, These Are The Rules.

When I first flipped through this book, I thought all of the stories were by famous people, because I saw one by Nelson Mandela. However, he ended up being the only person I recognized in the book. These were stories by "real" people. Which doesn't make the book bad; it's just not what I was expecting.

That having been said, this book was pretty schmaltzy and sappy. And I'm pretty sure at least one of the stories was total BS. But there were a few kernels of goodness here an...more

New-age mumbo jumbo (and pretty boring on top of that). This book was a waste of my time and money.

Uh, I don't like the English title. I think the Finnish translation of the title describes this book better even though the Finnish one is also a bit "crazy" for me ("Onnistumisen aakkoset: 10 ohjetta, joilla tehdä hulluista haaveista täyteläistä elämää" - how to turn crazy dreams into fulfilling life); I have a Finnish copy of this book. It may be a platitude that success is what makes you feel successful but this book encouraged me to turn a dream into a objective (and sub-...more

I came across this as I wandered through a book store at lunch. I think I've chosen badly, as I've just started this book, and it really seems to be beyond simplistic and lacking any insightful information. time will tell. (that line alone is more insightful than anything I've read in the book so far.)Really didn't read any more--nothing compelling in the initial pages to keep me interested.

I have been slowly reading this book throughout the year. I have read a section at a time, and then ponder it for a day or two, then move to the next idea. The author is amazingly insightful, and I have found many of her thoughts and explanations have simplified my life. She is very positive, so reading her book has been thought provoking as well as empowering.

Good if you need a slap in the face.
Nancy Fuller
I love this book. This is a small easy to read book with very profound truths that make you really think. The rules also make you more aware of how you are living your life.
I highly recommend it to others

Tidak seperti buku keduanya, buku pertama ini lebih menitik beratkan hal-hal yg harus kita lakukan dalm kehidupan kita sehari-hari. Model2 buku Dale Carnegie gitu deh.

Cukup menarik untuk dibaca dan dipahami.

The core concept is good. Its a good night stand book HOWEVER I did not think it was worth the weight ( I carried it around europe a summer and was to heavy for the little it had to say).

This was a book club pick that I really didn't like. The messages were so basic. Maybe good for a struggling teenager but I think most adults wouldn't learn anything new.
Bethany
I re-read this book every few months or so. To me it is so practical that I sometimes feel a little dumb I didn't think of some of this stuff on my own.
