I was in a seminar with Kevin Carroll. His program is an embodiment of this book, which made me run out to purchase a copy. It could be used with any age group to encourage contemplation of what's most important to each person. I recommend it for business groups, church groups, school groups, book discussion groups, and individuals. The format is very creative, and one must be willing to step outside the 'normal' conventions of a book, but the rewards are great! Go get it!

The author spoke at our college and was thoughtful, inspirational and fun. The book is colorful and interesting. I thought it would be fun to do a "study group" with the self-reflection exercises, but it will have to wait for a better time.

Pretty cool book. I liked the multi-media format, and the activities at the end. I think the vocab was pretty hard for my rising 6th graders, but I would really enjoy doing this book a little later in the year, or with 7th or 8th graders.

This is the "workbook" of the original "Rules..." book. I LOVE it!!

Entertaining, inspirational, although it doesn't give yield any new eureka-type of ideas. Finished the book in one sitting. The design of the book is delicious, though!

Amazing book. Wonderful activity to do: making your box of magic.
