I was so impressed by this book that I tracked down the author to tell him so. It is a book that assists people in focusing on problem solving in relationships. The authors use of stories and metaphors is very relevant to the reader. The book is one that you will want to read and re-read. I am now buying copies for my closest friends who I know will benefit from the book. 20/20 is a winner!

Randys insights into making lasting changes are among the best I have ever read or tried. He delivers real everyday "How To's" and it's obvious that he teaches what he has done himself. This is one of the best books I have read and used.

Don't waste your time on this book and don't waste any more of your time considering purchasing this book. I've never read a book which is so confusing and pointless. 20/20 Insight is the wrong title - they should call it "Read this book and you won't be able to see a thing" or "Turn off the lights and begin to not understand anything about business." This guy must be blind when it comes to the world of consulting. I've never been so confused after reading a book. I kept reading hoping things would get better, but I just become more and more confused. His examples are silly and don't really apply. Again, don't read this book!!!!!

I think there are a lot of great books with useful information, but which just aren't very accessable or enjoyable to read. 20/20 Insight is completely enjoyable, always clear and also immensely useful. I find myself using Randy's ideas all the time at home and at work.

My college business club has long had the practice of selecting one book as the "must read" book of the semester to develop our skill set and promote our careers. We all look for books (besides the national best sellers everyone has read) to share with the group. One of our members stumbled onto 20/20 Insight and brought it to the rest of us, not because it was a candidate, but because it was so bad. I borrowed his copy to see if it was as bad as he made it out to be. I tried to read it, but it was too bad. It only got worse as I went. I tried to skim it just to get through it, but it is so poorly done and makes no point that I had to quit and get back to my studies. It has earned a spot on a newly created shelf in our library as the first initiation into our "holy crap someone published this!" shelf. I don't know where these five star, generic reviews came from, but they either didn't read the book, are trying to sell their copy, or are related to the sucker who wrote it.

I could not believe that this book oculd get worse as it went on. I admit, towards the end, with less than 1/5 to go, I quit. It was hopeless. There is nothing redeeming about this book. This is a true waste of paper. I feel for the tree that gave its life for this wasted effort for everyone involved.

I found this book to be excellent!! Anyone that wants to transform their life, finances and business should read this book. Randy Gibbs puts everything into perspective and very manageable so that anyone can make the proper changes. I highly recommend this book to anyone!!
