Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
"Benchmark of classic self help! Received it from dear ex-flatmate Flora in 1994 when i was only 22. I'd never read non-fiction but she convinced me. So i started and couldn't put it down. Superb, simple, successful and most importantly it works. I've lost touch with Flora. Thx to her for a wonderful gift and she's deemed an angel in my life. I've since happily nurtured/ing a rich life from the fertile seeds of this book, and obsessed myself over many more books of the genre. Life/thought changing!"
"Do I have to give this a star? This is a self help book that has some good ideas, most of which people already know they should be doing to be successful. He takes on such controversial issues as "never giving up," "planning ahead," and the ever progressive and edgy idea "talk with smart people to get good ideas." The only real problem with the book is he studied hundreds of successful people and that is his research. All of the people had their own individual ways of becoming successful, and yet he boils down everything to one specific plan on how to be successful. So even though everyone he studied didn't do everything in his book, he makes the logical leap that to be successful you need to do everything in the book. Oh, and if there is something you don't like (talking to yourself in the mirror for example) you're just not ready for it yet.
Bottom line, he has good yet not novel ideas that he got from successful people along with inspiring stories of success but he takes too much liberty with his research drawing definite conclusions for the secret formula for success without sufficient data. If you like this book I can point you to a thousand other self help books along these lines, but it wasn't for me."
"I seem to remember not being particularly moved by this book. It had some motivational ideas and some interesting facts of famous (rich) people. When I read it, I was 16 and I didn't have any motivation to be rich. All I wanted to be is happy so there was something missing in the grand scheme of this book. I haven't changed so I never read it again.
Once more, it was a book on my mother's bookshelf."
