Great book, useful advice and relevant to present.

I loved this book. I have listened to it at least five times and learn something new each time. A timeless classic.

I believe

This book has changed my way of thinking! The strategies that were laid out are achievable . I'm excited about starting.

Seems to Cover Topics Ok

I feel this audio-book was average when compared to others I purchased. But this is just a opinion.

Excellent book highly recommended reading!

I liked the whole book. it was interesting and filled with great accounts of how the general idea of the book has been used practically and can be applied by those who read it. I plan to read it multiple times .

No direction

The author talks concepts but doesn’t actually give steps on how to implement in one’s life. The book is more stories of people and accomplishments with it leading up to last chapter with anticipation and still no true direction of what and how to implement.

Great book, but the narration is awefull

What disappointed you about The Magic of Believing?

I loved the book, but the Narration made it imposible for me to finish. It seems like the old days when the mac read outlout. This is the worst narration i have ever heard.
The narrator reads like a 10 year old who reads in a hurry to finish fast.

The old is now new.

Although some of the examples sited are a bit outdated, I really enjoyed this book. It's not necessarily new information but in a way it's refreshing. It solidifies that there really are laws to this universe and that once understood can open up an entirely different way of viewing life.

Narration was horrific!

Would you try another book from Claude M. Bristol and/or Jason McCoy?

I would buy another book by Bristol. I would never buy another book narrated by Jason McCoy.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Update it.

How could the performance have been better?

Where do I begin? Don't say "concealed when the word is "conceded" don't pronounce "conspicuous" "conspishus", don't pronounce Knute Rockne's name "K-nute", don't pronounce Horatio Alger's name with a hard G. Don't narrate in a sing song voice as if you had no idea what you are reading. There are many other examples too numerous to note here.

What character would you cut from The Magic of Believing?

Jason McCoy

Any additional comments?

I could not finish this book due to the poor narration.

Don't waste good 6 hours of time

Would you try another book from Claude M. Bristol and/or Jason McCoy?

No

Has The Magic of Believing turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Just ok

Any additional comments?

This might be the worst book about Law of Attraction. Completely Drab and drag. There are plenty of books cover all you need to know and only finish in an hour. The long stories after stories just throw audience off-track.

hard to follow

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I am very interested in this topic, but the author kept referring to things he's done before that I had no information about. Also it got way to heady. I would not reccomentd this book
