I'd give this 10 stars if I could. I've read the book(s) (the old one and the updated 10 year edition) but listening to it while I'm driving is SOOOOO much more powerful. Once you read principles, listen to the principles, then APPLY the principles, your life will change. Cheers!

This CD set parallels the book and in its verbal form makes you think, which helps it achieve its purpose. It certainly has to help me, and I can listen to as many times as needed- pause, rewind, fast-forward and otherwise dive deep into the content. Highly recommended.A must for those who are Serious about getting from where you are to where you want to be

January has always been a dreary month for me, but this last one was downright DISMAL. The Holiday sales boom was over, and I could feel that familiar 'funk' settling over me as I arrived (late, of course) at the conference and settled in for a long day. My attitude was in the toilet, and I didn't much care what our speakers had to share. But sometime before the first break I got the sense that everyone around me knew something I didn't - and I was right! They all kept using these phrases that were totally foreign to me. This was baffling - how could I be THAT far out of the loop? So I asked, "What on earth is a 'BHAG' (pronounced bee-hag)? Can you fill me in on E + R = O? What do you mean I AM 100% responsible for everything that happens to me?" At this point I was feeling like a complete moron, but I stuck it out and learned a few things despite my obvious ignorance. The next day as I made the long journey home, I wondered what everyone was so excited about. "Feel the fear, and do it anyway," they had said. HUH??? Ok, since sales is one of those jobs where a "slight edge" is necessary, I have to at least READ this book so I can carry on a half-way intelligent conversation with pretty much anyone in my company. When I got about half-way through the first chapter, I had some difficulty digesting the 'bite-size' truths and had to put it down for several weeks! But when I finally picked it back up, the first chapter had settled and I was ready for, shall I say, a "Second Serving..." (Chicken Soup?) THIS TIME I couldn't STOP reading!! It was like I had been living inside an egg, not wanting to 'hatch', so to speak. Reading that first chapter of The Success Principles for the first time had CRACKED MY SHELL! Ouch - I don't wanna come out! But a ray of light was shining in now, and a draft, as well. I was uncomfortable - so things had to CHANGE. I doubt if there is anyone who really ENJOYS the process of being transformed. This excruciating process can take several months or even years... Take just a moment... Do you know WHAT you want? WHERE you are going? What are your DREAMS? Your VISION? Now the tough one... Do you have a PLAN that will get you there? Let me ask again... R U READY?? THIS BOOK IS YOUR ROADMAP to Success, as traveled by Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. What you do with it and where you let it lead from here... well, I suppose that's something you must TAKE 100% RESPONSIBILITY FOR... And you CAN! Once I began to LIVE these principles, my life began to change. With Jack's roadmap and my firm belief that "I can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens me," I CREATED FOR MYSELF the opportunity to attend a conference where JACK CANFIELD was the KEYNOTE SPEAKER! I had the distinct honor of meeting him in person, and I was able to personally thank him for cracking my egg! And yes, I have pictures... as well his autograph inside the front cover of MY COPY of The Success Principles! If I may offer one suggestion: DON'T HAVE THIS BOOK?? Please get up from your computer right away, and run to the nearest bookstore! Get a copy of this book - your ROADMAP to SUCCESS - and read all the way through it like it's a novel. Wait until the SECOND reading to work through the exercises in each chapter. Just my 2 cents, but... I can promise you this: If you follow these principles, begin to LIVE them, Your LIFE will begin to change, and YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!! Go for it! I'll be here believing in you!Read full review
I have only made it through the first CD in the set, but have listened to each chapter several times and have pulled out several key principles to begin to apply to my new business venture and my life. I have been a fan of Jack Canfield's for years, and had watched his input into The Secret with great interest. He is right about when you have an idea or when you are approached with an idea, you need to be confident enough to follow it through. My current job will end in about 2 years - which is a year longer than it had been predicted to last when I was hired. So last summer when we had a family conference in Reno and one of my brothers presented a business idea that I was fully able to connect with, I knew immediately that this was my next step. I have been working on building it ever since, but had been waiting for my brother's lead. Now that I've started in on The Success Principles, I realize that waiting for my brother is what has been holding me back from getting my own business launched. I have ideas for arenas for this business that my brother hadn't even thought of, so I'm heading in a new, bigger direction. My brother wants to take this business global within 5 years, and I have a feeling that I'm going to be in on that expansion because of my ideas. We'll be taking it global on multiple fronts at the same time. Which will be totally AWESOME!Read full review
Jack Canfield lays it out very concisely. Even if you already know what he says, it is always good to hear it again and have good information reinforced.
