    Well known how good this is !

    The book itself and NVP are great !
    I want to download this to itunes so I can get it on my ipad and ipod.
    Audible books says I need to re-download itunes.
    this is silly, as i use itunes almost every day, to get more music, audio books, podcasts.
    I don't underst why they say to do this ??

    Everyone should read/listen to this book!

    So glad I took a chance a purchased this book. I took so many notes and it’s like a breath of fresh air. It’s more than just about positivity it’s about your faith and attitude in the life we live. I’m going to listen to again and I definitely recommend this to anyone who feels down and as if a good life cannot be yours.

    Interesting.. But..

    As a Christian, I'm concerned that this book leans toward the prosperity Gospel. So be cautious.. God should be our 'very great reward' nothing else
