Truly a valuable tool

Boldt is articulate about the path to prioritzing and obtaining your goals, advocating focusing the mind, clear visualization of the goal, and excersises that uncover self-appreciation of one's gifts and talents, as well as one's resources. This book inspires and uplifts, and the excersises (which at first glace seemed rather simplistic), turned out to be avenues of deep insight. Stop making excuses about what is dissatisfactory in your life and do something about making changes! This book will really, really help. I would think it would be espcially valuable to young people trying to uncover a career path for themselves, but I don't know many people (of all ages) who wouldn't benefit from studying it.

How to know what you want from your life.

I have been a fan of Laurence G. Boldt since I read "Zen and the Art of Making a Living". Actually, I change my career path after reading that book. Based in that experience, I bought this new book. The approach is very methodological and based on down-to-earth exercises you can do. Reading the book, I felt like talking to a friend about my aspirations and dreams, and he helping me how to convert them in reality. Very recommendable.

How to Be, Do, or Have Anything

After a thorough review of Laurence Boldt's book, How to Be, Do, or Have Anything, I must say I wish I could make it required reading in our country's school system as well as throughout the offices of corporate America. Having worked as a counselor and teacher for the last 27 years, I can't honestly say I've ever come across any better resource to help people take control of their destiny. Boldt's book beautifully and powerfully inspires action, and then backs up the encouragement and inspiration with solid, grounding tools to use in actually getting on with those actions in our lives. This book can be used by "already successful" and "still struggling" people alike, unlike so many other self-coaching books that, without admitting it, require a fat wallet to implement all of their suggestions for a better life. How to Be, Do or Have Anything is a solid, undiluted, down-to-earth helping of fortitude and strength. I wish every man woman and child could get a copy into their hands and read it cover to cover. If they did, I'd probably have to find another line of work. Thank you, Laurence Boldt, for a job well done!
