The best success book I’ve read

I’ve read many self help success books but this is by far the best book I’ve read on this subject. Other books feel as though they are lecturing you and there are so many things you need to do, which always caused me stress. However, Jack Canfield gives you hope and makes you want to succeed. What he asks you to do is simple and does not take too much thought or figuring out. You can tell in his voice and how he writes that he is sincere and truly wants the best for you. Super grateful for this book!

Loooong and boring

The author is VERY confident (read: arrogant). There’s little bits of useful info here and there, but nothing you can’t find on Pinterest or by asking AI to give you some tips. Certainly not worth the almost 21 hours I just spent.

Mostly just Psychobabble

Sure, there were a few good points that Jack made. The problem is that you have to wade through hours of mindless drivel to get the good stuff. There's not enough meat in this book to justify all the bones that you have to spit out.

He talks about new-age psychic connections, manifesting your desires to the universe so that they come true… on and on… This stuff is a complete waste of time. He claims that there is “science” to back up his mystic psychic claims, but I find that hard to believe.

Do not waste your time on this book!
