A manual for the Brain and Steps to Use It

I read "the Secret", and to be honest- I didn't get it.
For that reason, I didn't expect much of "the Answer". After reading this book, "The Answer" was all I was looking for, and really needed.

The book is clearly in two parts from two authors. It goes a little into each authors background and footnotes, and clearly offers direction to their joint venture company which is dedicated to helping business owners with the concepts in this very book. Warning to those without businesses, the second half is designed for business owners.

The first half goes from research data about the brain to the realm of quantum physics. (Don't worry- there are no math problems) It was pretty easy to understand. I have to tell you, it made an awful lot of sense. It answered why people meditate, the benefits of positve thought, and the destruction of negative thoughts. More importantly- it is clear to the reader.

I would best describe it as an operating manual for the brain.

So once you are all charged up with your daily mental excercises, the book rewinds and starts talking about building successful businesses. The back half of the book starts with the footnotes of the second author and some of his accomplishments. Then it whips through all the keys models he used on everyone of his successful businesses. I have been in marketing for years and the concepts are not new, but they are solid.

I think the first half of this book would be great for everyone. It improves your mind, alters perception, and is generally a good read. The second half is for those people who can truly believe they can do great things and chart a course to their success. It's a study book, not a read. You'll want to keep it on your shelf for future reference.

Resources referenced no longer available

I really enjoyed this book overall. I can see how it will help my business. However I was disappointed to discover that one coach no longer exist and many of the references to the online material is no longer available. It would be beneficial if this be revised either on a landing page or recommendations of Alternatives be provided.

Right on target!

The Answer walks you through a thorough self assessment that will help you maximize your business by asking you to look through your ideal client's eyes.

love it

awesome inspirational book to help convert the law of attraction into action. I is practical help to get you motivated to take your business out of a mediocre state and up to the next level.

Just one comment...

No one ever not gives "Shakespeare" his props when he is quoted so why is it that some folk have such an issue, at times, giving credit to the Word of GOD if that is where a quote comes from??!

james allen is NOT the originator of the quote, "...as a man thinks in his heart so is he..." Proverbs 23:7😕 Irregardless to the fact that this particular statement was not necessarily credited to --james-- still, no one ever does this kind of thing to Shakespeare! Give the credit where the credit is due...please.

Other than that, in my humble opinion, the book and its content is inspiring and I dare say beneficial if practiced as prescribed.

I am beginning to see results myself at long last. And yes, just as the author so honestly stated, the gestation period will vary as my own has been nearly five years since I began this journey of self development. I've come a long way but still have a ways to go. Your journey may not take as long but if it does, don't dispare. Instead be encouraged. Since each of us is so different and unique; we each come from varying backgrounds.

This causes me to believe that those differences is what determines our time frames when it comes to the actual fruition of each success story. My your journey be peaceful and full of harmony blessed by the MOST HIGH GOD in YESHUA! 😊
