Where to begin? Any vanity company, such as CWP, that puts itself on a pedestal feeling they have so much knowledge and expertise to impart that they home produce books on a variety of topics they aren't qualified to speak on makes me wonder. Is this a cult? What makes their "positive" outlook on life, or their views on how people should live, any different than that of a Jim Jones?

The 2 "authors" of "ABC's," who also authored all of CWP's other books (see, they're experts on everything apparently!), come across as being ignorant, self-righteous and self-important. Anyone with a high school diploma has greater insight into life than these two "authors." And, from the way the book fell apart after opening it, it appears as if this book was printed on a very bad inkjet printer in their home.

There's a reason companies like Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, Crown and others don't release 15 books a month - because they have quality control. They know authors with vanity publishers are lucky if they sell 25 books. Vanity "publishers" like CWP merely pander to people's conceit that THEY have something of value to say and everyone should know about it. The truth is they don't. Books like this merely feed the ego of the "author" to say, "I'm a published author."

I'm waiting for someone to start the Walter Mitty/Rupert Pupkin Publishing Company.

I purchased ABCs To Positive Living last fall. I began to use it every morning and night and have noticed a huge difference in my outlook on life. The affirmations are simple, yet fitting for everyday situations. There are three affirmations for each letter of the alphabet, which helps me to memorize them with ease. Also, the binding on my copy has stayed together quite well over the past several months.

The authors also have written other materials, but Creative Works Publishing's web site shows a variety of authors, not just these two. I plan to purchase more of their titles through Amazon.com.

I recommend this book to those who need a daily boost!
