    <body><![CDATA[Wow.  I read this book on one Sunday.  It's so deep - I loved it.  I think it's one of a few books in my life I can name that have taught me something that will (hopefully) forever change my way of thinking.  Others are &quot;The Hiding Place&quot;, &quot;Love Languages&quot;, &quot;People Code&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64120338">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A happy tryst or introspection, that like all self-help books proposes only that which is 'beneficial' while never registering if the ideas promoted are as shallow as their mediations. Allen again and again, when not dealing in dichotomy, delves no deeper than to address perceptions that are dichoti...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60002773">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Written originally at the turn of the 20th century by British philosopher and writer. Allen wasn't always a writer he worked in industry for most of his life until he decided to move out of the city to 'contemplate' and write. <br/><br/>Although many famous authors, particularly philosophers, were...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/35625839">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This author was recommended to me by a friend. It was short but awesome, very thought-provoking (no pun intended ;) People truly do underestimate the power of their minds, which the author spells out in his book. This book is full of gems of wisdom, here is one of my favorite quotes from it: &quot;t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78266806">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is more of a short booklet than a book, but I believe an excellent read.  I believe the book contains truth.<br/><br/>It very well covers the power of positive thinking and discusses in great detail how much effect good and constructive thoughts will have on a person.  It also discusses how m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16312346">more...</a>]]></body>
