5 Important Things to APPLY not only READ

I have no doubt that any author of self help books, including Jim, will agree with me that regardless of the limitless amount of self help books out there, they are all useless unless APPLIED - including this one. You can get caught up with the character in this story-Eric Carlton- and learn how he progresses through learning the 5 important things: Continuing to Learn, Appreciating People, Attitude, Setting Goals, and Not Quitting (i.e. following through till completion). However, the story is not about Eric, it's about YOU. It's not about how he changes; it's about how YOU change. We at LifeApps! at Yahoogroups are constantly looking to how to apply the concepts that are brought up in these wonderful books. Are you ready to transform and APPLY the concepts that are in this book? If you are then welcome on the journey that millions have taken and have enjoyed, you will not regret it. Don't apply it and all you would have done is to have read another book. This can be either a ho-hum experience, or a major positive life changing experience. How do you want to use it? YOu have the tools with this book, use it wisely, but USE IT! DO IT NOW!

The gift of life is in this book.

Five Important Things is more than five important things. It is the most important five things that anyone needs to know to be a more effective and loved person. It's energizing to read and difficult to read slow. I found myself going back and re-reading just to absorb and bask in the thoughts several times as I raced through. I bought several copies to have on hand for gifts throughout the year.

A Masterpiece!

A fantastic novel that pulls the reader along with suspense and a unique storyline. A must-read for any young (or old) person preparing for a successful career!

A quick read but PACKED with information!

This is a well written book. It is a short novel but is PACKED with so much information. It speaks of the "5 Important Things" but intertwined throughout are themes of perseverance, family, commitment, and most important FOCUS!! This is a GREAT book for anyone who wants to make a DREAM reality!

A Good Read

This is a good entry into the world of self-improvement / self-help books. There is an interesting story line mingled with "dream-like" encounters with a mysterious "black book." The key points are presented well and are easily remembered. The "just-in-time" suspenseful conclusion really ties things together
