Customer Reviews

If you have been tagged "conservative" buy this book..

As it goes I am often thought of as a conservative. This is one of those books where I keep one in my library and one to give away. The loaner goes mostly to conservative friends. I loan a book to these folks so that there mind can be open to another point of view. This books makes you laugh a lot. His reference to Bill O'Reilly as Pill O'Smilley is priceless. Indeed Mark Joyner is a genius and one of the great thinkers of our time. This work is like books from another Mark, Mark Twain. The pages have the power of one of the banned books of Twain: "Letters from the Earth". I am a Funeral Director and I approve this book. The title is true to the work, "The Simple Science of getting what you want". Being a Funeral Director I believe all of us should get what we want before we rest in peace. So go get what you want and this book before your time runs out.

Well Worth A Read

I thought this was a great book, and I really like Mark's style of writing. He shows himself to be a normal person with quirks and rants now and then. The book is formatted in an easy to read fashion,and even if you do not continue with the free course he offers (he does charge for more advanced courses if you decide to do them), the book will at least show you how easily we all can be manipulated and why we sometimes don't back down even when we know we are wrong. Considering the amount of tips in this book, and the humorous aspects of it, I think it is a great book. Does he try to sell you additional items after offering you the free course? Sure he does. Is that wrong? Not in my opinion. If you are interested you can buy it. If not, was it really a waste of your time to take 2 seconds to say "No Thanks..."? Just read the book and decide for yourself. That's my advice.

Actually Helps You Focus on and Reach Your Goals

The are a lot of books and "systems" on goals, focus, and productivity. I've tried most of them. In doing so, I got "more organized" and had longer to do lists, even got more done - but I wasn't reaching my goals - sometimes I reached goals I didn't even have. Of course, it wasn't the fault of the "systems", but probably that somehow I couldn't properly implement them. For whatever reason, in using Mark Joyner's Simpleology system I have been finally able to make daily progress toward my goals, at an outstanding speed. Once I started the "daily praxis", huge changes began in my life, like continual job leads and a partnership on a screenplay. These changes aren't magic - they are a result of focused attention, energy, and action on my clearly defined targets - which is the essence of Simpleology. I highly recommend Simpleology.

This book does what the self help industry has tried to do for 100 years

Simpleology is a book that will alternatively have you scratching your head and thinking and then blowing your mind with some of the most insightful ideas on success you'll ever hear. The author helps you draw a very clear path from where you are to what you want, not what you think you should want, but what you really want. He makes getting it simple, efficient and predictable. The chapters on defective mental hardware are some of the most sound thinking and well described examples of how we defeat ourselves. Those are followed by the final chapters which give you the programming language you need to easily and completely create your future and have all the things that you really want. At the end of the book you'll find yourself scratching your head again and wondering, how was I hoodwinked so easily for all those years. But the book explains that too. This is a must read if you are a seeker, entrepreneur, parent, thinker or skeptic. I wasn't able to put it down and I don't think you will either.

Upgrade your mental operating system...

First off, if you have not signed up for Mark's free Simpleology program, you really should do so. In my opinion, it is the best time management system ever invented, and with some of the great tools included such as WebCockpit, it is very easy to integrate into your life...just 15 minutes invested per day. Now, if you are under the impression that this book is just a long advertisement for the program, please set that myth to rest. You will find a lot of value in this book whether or not you're currently using the program. Mark has a keen understanding of psychology and has figured out how to break down the barriers that people have that prevent them from achieving their goals. While his program is quite effective in and of itself, the book really delves down much more deeply into the subject matter to illustrate scenarios that hold people back from reaching their dreams. The most powerful of these examples are language barriers. Whether you know it or not, other people in your life are influencing you through their use of language. Mark shows you how to dissect what people are really saying to you, so that you don't get caught up in the mental mind traps and drama that plague most people. This valuable information (that I've never seen or heard about anywhere else) is vitally essential to success. You must be able to clearly separate your own belief system from the belief systems imposed upon you by others to really get what you want out of life. Somehow, Mark is able to take this incredibly complicated subject matter and make it simple and in plain english to offer and incredibly clear view of how people interact with each other, and how you can protect yourself from these subtle manipulation tactics. Additionally, MJ goes into great detail about improving your belief system to be more in alignment with your goals. Most people live life trying to cater to other's expectations of them because they don't know any better. But if you really want to achieve in life, and make your own way, Mark shows you how to "re-program" your mind to live life on your own terms. The best part is that Mark has gone to great effort to develop a system based on his own scientific analysis and principles to create something unique and wholly beneficial. This is not a re-hash of NLP, thinking positive, law of attraction, etc. Mark cuts past the wishful thinking and new-age mumbo-jumbo to gives you real, scientific tools to genuinely pursue your goals from a fully realistic standpoint. Simply put, you should read this book.
