Interesting book to read. You get to know more about the philosophy of Richard Bandler and his Student Owen Fitzpatrick. There is a little of NLP of course. But it not just NLP. Random conversations between Owen and Richard. Everyone is different. From how to change to spirituality. The whole message of the book is Freedom. It is the freedom to choose and live the way you want!
Do not expect something revolutionary here, but you can learn a thing or two

A few very strong points, but overall just a bunch of unnecessary chatter.

One of the top 3 books that I would recommend beside The 7 Habits and Awaken the Giant within

My father made a deal with me. I read this book, and he would read any book that I chose for him. So I read this book and here's what I think.

Pros: useful information about how your outlook of the world changes your experience of the world. Useful ideas on how to change your thinking.

Cons: This could be edited down to waaaaay shorter. As well, the whole "are you ready to change your life" questioning came off as pretentious. Also is very dismissive of psychology and background knowledge in dealing with issues - in my opinion, it's value might not be immediate, but it is important to understand root causes of problems to prevent them from happening in the future (and ironically, this book praises seeking knowledge just for the sake of knowing it). There are also broad generalizations made about a lot of things - political issues, disorders, people, etc - that I can't swallow all too easily.

Looking back on conversations that I've had with my father, I can see that this book has really influenced him. I just would not want this to be the only influence on his thinking and on his view of life.

Lots of stuff that is good, practical and catalytic but overpowered by fluff and strange formatting. The premise of the book is that it is conversations between the two teachers. However while that is a part there is too much unconnected input and restatement from one of the authors. The book could be half as long and be easier to read, more applicable and give a better overall presentation of both authors.

Awesome book with parables, stories of growth and the ability to help break through chains that bind us.
