Reviews

Businessman and philanthropist Ellis admits that this workbook "sounds like a late-night television advertisement for an expensive self-help program." He'd like people who are already successful to become more so and shows how readers can create their ideal life. One will find ample material here, loosely organized into 12 "success strategies" (e.g., No. 3, "Move Toward Love," gives readers five reasons to celebrate mistakes). These strategies touch on many topics that are dealt with more clearly and completely in other books. Like Winnie the Pooh, Ellis loves to ponder rather than present concrete advice. He also encourages readers to keep a journal and complete fill-in-the-blank exercises. An optional purchase, especially for public libraries that own Ellis's similar Creating Your Future: 5 Steps to the Life of Your Dreams.
