I have to disagree with the previous reviewer who gave this book only one star. While self-help books are not for everyone (I'm not usually the sort that would read one either) this one I did find particularly inspiring. You can take what you like from it - believe it all, or take away a few good techniques to take control of you thoughts. The mind is a very powerful thing, and highly open to suggestion, and if you can learn to control your negative thoughts, you can make a difference in your life. This book, while perhaps more on the side of pop-psychology, nevertheless has some sound psychological techniques in it, even if it does go about them in a more unusual way than you may expect. In fact, these techniques may be easier for many people to work with than the dry and clinical way one would be told by a psychologist at an appointment, even though they'd have the same end result no doubt. I found it quite inspiring, although I am not "evangelical" about it as the previous reviewer implies I must be. I would recommend this to anyone feeling a bit down, or under motivated, or perhaps just needing a boost in life and some inspiration. It helped me, anyway, and I am not particularly suggestible, being a research scientist.
