This is an excellent-excellent book. I can't say how much this book really summarizes a lot of what I have read in a number of other books.

Surprisingly, I finished this 435 page monster in one week. I still have the receipt as a bookmark. It is one of the best books I have ever read, but more from an encouragement and support standpoint.

Amazon has had 215 people review the book. 200 of them gave it 5 stars! the other 15 four stars! It was compelling enough for m More...

Jack Canfield has positivity in his hands and molds it to help him through all of his goals. He has not only made millions of peoples dreams come true by helping to motivate them, but has now put his knowledge of success in one book. The other inspiring part of this book is how he has managed to paraphrase other important and standard self-help and motivational books and condensed the most important parts in his own. He keeps you going with every page. I would stay up to 3am reading, and recentl More...

saya sangat menyukai buku ini. Gak perlu disangsikan lagi kiprah Jack Canfield dalam menyusun buku ini. Buku ini bahkan pernah saya hadiahkan kepada seseorang yang sangat saya sayangi, sepupu saya. Harapan saya, dia membaca buku itu, mendapatkan nilai darinya dan bener-bener jadi orang sukses di kemudian hari.

Ada banyak hal dan tips yang diberikan oleh Jack Canfield. Salah satunya yang paling saya suka adalah menuliskan tujuan dan target kita, baik itu jangka panjang dan jangka pende More...

I picked up Jack Canfield's Sucess Principles book since I was having such success with his Dream Big System, and didn't want to miss out on any nuggets of information that would help me get to where I am so excited to go. I am so glad I bought this book. There is nowhere else you need to go to figure out your life purpose, and begin to work your dream plan. He covers EVERYTHING you need to know about conceptualizing your goal from the thought stage, to buidling your team, to dealing with obstac More...

Read it--

Frankly, there are too many principles even in the abridged audio version of the book, but it draws from no less of authors than Tim Ferriss, Anthony Robbins, et al. and offers the condensed version of all the motivational and inspirations techniques and anecdotes.

As the author exhorts toward the end of the audiobook, I will be listening to it again and again to let my mind really absorb the principles.

Highly recommended.

Listened to this on audio. It was good. I wish that it hadn't been an abridged version though. I also have the book and DVD, which I hope to get through someday. This is definately a book you need to read over and over again to be able to apply the principles to your life. So I am on to the book. I may have to just suck it up and buy this one.

I can't stand the Chicken Soup series (I can't believe I actually picked up this book to begin with), but if you like Canfield's style then you'll like this book. This book is packed with a ton of info about business success (and by extension personal "success," as he defines it). The downside here is that nothing here is original and is actually just a retread of many other self-help "gurus." The only saving grace of this book is it's readability, it's A-Z track to run on an More...

Canfield's advice is solid here, and I find myself returning often to the book when I feel I'm veering off track. I give the book three stars because the number of times Canfield mentions how successful he is and how much money he's made becomes tiresome and detracts from his message. He mentions different goals readers may have when approaching his book, which is good. But the constant reminders of how much money he has makes the goal of the book seem like it targets only one sort of person. At More...

I'm a great fan of self-help books. I read lots of them, enthusiastically, hoping for even one insight that will make me a better person. Canfield's (The Chicken Soup author) offering in the genre is the dumbest self-help book I've ever read. There are 65 principles for success in it, an absurd number that virtually guarantees that you'll never be able to follow any of them. And every single one is a cliche. To write this book, he must have gone to the bookstore, bought every self-help book More...

A fabulous book on techniques used by the world's wealthiest and most successful people on productivity, motivation, relationships, finance, and other aspects of their lives. Jack Canfield's writing style is accessible and empowering. The book is filled with anecdotes and the success stories of many people, including folks like Sylvester Stalone and Debbie Macomber. I highlighted quite a few techniques, and already started implementing some of them. I noticed a swift change in the way I think a More...

I did not become a big fan of Jack Canfield until I listened to this book on CD. I now want to buy the unabridged version. He very passionately describes all of the steps that he went through to become as successful as of a writer and businessman as he is today. Quotes like "feel the fear and do it anyway" are daily mantras for me now. This is a book that I will listen to for motivation and guidance over and over again as I continue my journey to financial freedom and success.

I listened to this book and plan to do a monitored program of the principles with a friend of mine, who recommended we read this and do it together. I look forward to the program though i found this book, read aloud into audio, less exciting to hear than the one of his i listened to immediately prior. In combination, there are many, many entertaining antidotes and inspirations to be had. Lots can be learned from his gentle manner.

This book is typical of Jack Canfield, which means it's good. I don't normally read self-help or motivational type works, but this one was recommended to me, so I caved. It really is appropriate for any reader and even better for those in business. He offers tip after tip, story after story, and quotes and tips from other experts and success stories. All around, it's a great read and is worth a reader's time.

I loved this book. I read many motivational books and this is my favorite to date. It has been the most inspiring for me. I love his simple, precise writing - not a word is wasted. This book is one of those books where you start referring to your life in terms of "before I read the book" and "after I read the book." I recommend everyone read this.

There are no earth shattering revelations in here, per se; what is great about this book is that the revelations c More...

This is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. I really admire Jack Canfield as an author. This book goes so far beyond his Chicken Soup series and gives you an outline for success in your life. For struggling entrepreneurs, this book helps you get unstuck and move forward in a positive way. I highly recommend it to anyone who needs help in their business or their life.

I think this is a really good book..... It's very positive and teaches a lot about how to succeed in business or personal goals. The biggest problem with it is that it focuses on the "Secret"....that the "self" can do anything. As a Christian, I believe that more focus needs to go toward honoring God and family and not so much on the "self". Other than that big thing, I enjoyed reading it and it was very positive.

This is really a great book....I discovered Jack canfield after watching the Secret which is rather lame but well intended. But this book is solid how-tos and where to go and what to do to get things done. Considering the mental and emotional rut I was in after my divorce it really jump started me to manifest and create my own future and then begin living it.

This book is full ideas how to have success in your life. It also has other sources that you can go to and get more depth in. He also has free downloads that go with his ideas. I read the Aladdin Factor a few years ago and decided to read his latest one. If you are looking for ways to get motivated and change the way you are doing things this is the book to read.

The book contains really helpful information. It really works, I've checked it, but IMHO it might have been much shorter, coz mr Canfield repeats many self obvious ideas many times. For me personally it would have been much more useful if it contained the main ideas only or the gist without so many quotes of his own financial success and detailed examples.

Buku yang menarik. Instead of explaining the principle, Jack focuses more on the practical aspect of applying the law of attraction. Subdivided into many small chapters so that reader will be able to finish any particular chapter within minutes. Lenggok bahasa pun simple dan best. Not recommended for those who are seeking the 'why' question.

In the first chapter Jack Canfield addresses taking 100% Responsibility for your life and from there this book continues to be inspiring and educational.

This book is an excellent road map to get from where you are to where you want to be. The principles are simple and easy to understand yet life altering in scope. I couldn’t put it down!

Even though the principles are not new, they are written in an inspirational way. I'll tell you my story 3 years down the road (2011) and we'll see how I get to where I want to be using these principles.

This is one of the best, most inspiring books I have ever read. If you ever thought your dreams couldn't come true or never knew your purpose in life this book will help you find it. If there is any aspect in your life that you wish to improve, Jack Canfield's priciples helps with it all.

Canfield's writing serves as a well-organized compendium of prinicples and action steps toward a life of greater fulfillment and purpose. Many of his ideas personally helped me reinforce some recent leadership training and personal development I just completed.

While I don't necessarily agree with all the conclusions that the author reaches with some of his principles (e.g. tithing), I did find ohers that resonated well and plan to integate those into my personal and professional grow More...

it;s Self Help Books, for those of you who wants to make betters life and better income, and make more friends.
Books also teach you how to find your purpose in everydays life, and how to work with passion and doing what you love to do instead of doing for the pay check. Great Book!

This is a good book. I often use some of its teachings in my business seminars. I was able to affirm my life purpose through a visualization exercise with Jack Canfield. Since then, I am learning to let go of all the other clutter in my life that is not in line with my purpose.

I've dog-eared at least 75 pages in this book and it's full of highlighter and notes in the margins! Jack's insights to his years of successful business practices are shared to the world for only about $20! He truely has the "magic formula" for happiness and prosperity.

Very motivating book! The first time I read it, I ended up making all kinds of lists of things I needed to do and goals for many different areas of my life. When I start to feel like I'm losing my steam, I pick it back up and skim it. Good to keep on the shelf next to your desk!
