    Positive and uplifting

    This book is simple and direct with helpful summary of each concept at the end of each chapter. Although it is toned with Christian faith it’s overall positive uplifting advise can be applied universally.

    An awesome book by an amazing person!

    Loved the audio recording. There’s something about Norman’s voice that calms down an uneasy brain. Shout out to Simon and Schuster for this audio presentation! Loved it all the way!!!

    Incredibly powerful book

    I am not a religious but highly spiritual; the advice in the book is at the core of what 90% of the self help topics nowadays point to.

    This book will change your life

    I got a hold of this book when I was 19. I've reread it every few years, the principals written within these pages really work.

    The source!

    Indispensable practical & life changing. Though the recording sounds like it's off a record, this just underscores the fact that most modern personal improvement gurus simply reworded the contents of this book as their own.
