Best self help/personal development cd-set ever!, February 26, 2008
This review is from: Effortless Success: How to Get What You Want and Have a Great Time Doing It (Audio CD)
I just spent two years of my life recovering from a burn out by listening every possible self help/self development tape I could get my hands into. Brian Tracy, Wayne Dyer, Paul McKenna, Doreen Virtue, The Secret -- you name it. Yes, even some Anthony Robbins.
I knew Michael Neill from the Hayhouse Radio (http://www.hayhouseradio.com) and have always loved his very practical, funny and smart advice. I bought his first book You Can Have What You Want right after it was published, but was too exhausted to read it (or anything else) at the time, so I gave it away to someone else who needed it more -- he loved it and got amazing results from it.
Back to this recording. When I heard Michael Neill had finally recorded an audio program about the same principles he talks about in his radio show and books, I ran (ok, drove) to the nearest bookstore and bought it.
It's amazing! No-nonsense, down to earth, yet exceptionally inspiring, thought provoking and touching. Even my husband, who dislikes almost every other author whose tapes I listen, loves this one. When we listen to Effortless Success together, we have to pause the recording basically every other minute to talk about all the ideas that Michael's simple truths provoke on us. How do we know they are true? Because they make us go "but of course!" "that is so true!" "I've always known that but somehow forgot it!"
Since we started to listen this recording couple of weeks ago (yes, we take our time to savor his wisdom), our energy levels have got higher than for years (or maybe ever) and we've both got very inspired, excited and productive. Most importantly, I was finally able to redefine my personal goals after my burn out and I'm happy to follow my inner bliss again.
I wish I would have been able to listen this already two years ago. I would have saved so much money and time and would be so much closer to my WOW-goals. Oh well. Better a little later than never.
Buy this! Listen to it! You won't regret!

UPDATE 4 MONTHS LATER:
OK, I can't give all the credit only to this audiobook, but I feel that it definitely helped us to get on the right track. Here's what has happened since listening this audiobook:
1. My husband sold his first screenplay and is now shooting the movie based on it. In the process he got a great new friend.
2. I quit my day job, went back to my old profession which I had quit after my burn out, visited my native country for the first time for 20 months and got THREE new super-exciting and inspiring projects (that's a lot in my profession!). I wake up happy every morning and am very excited about the future. Plus my finances seem to be finally back on the right track. Yay!
Thank you Michael for such an amazing audio book!

Truly Phenomenal, April 7, 2008
This review is from: Effortless Success: How to Get What You Want and Have a Great Time Doing It (Audio CD)
In "Effortless Success", success coach Michael Neill invites the listener to address two fundamental questions: 1) What do you want? and 2) What is stopping you from getting it?
The first half of the program is spent guiding you through a path of self-discovery to help you answer the first question. The second half helps you answer the second question. Filled with lots of exercises and hands-on activities, this 6-CD set is worth much more than its paltry price indicates.
In his easy-going, non-confrontational way, Michael can help you--and you don't have to spend thousands of dollars for a one-on-one session! Stop spending $ on coffees for one week, save the money, and BUY THIS NOW! You will reap the benefits for the rest of your life.

Let your learning be EFFORTLESS! Just relax and listen...., March 6, 2008
This review is from: Effortless Success: How to Get What You Want and Have a Great Time Doing It (Audio CD)
I highly recommend the CDs to be your companion wherever you go. If you want to have what you want in your life, buy these CDs NOW for yourself. After you finish with them, you will want to share them with family members, and even send them to others as gifts.
In one week, I listened to all 6 CDs, and as soon as I would finish one, I would be like a child on Christmas Eve waiting for tomorrow to discover what the next CD had to offer. The most amazing thing is that I continually found something new from the text and stories even in areas I was already familiar with and thought I had a good grasp on. I am curious to see what new nuggets of gold will be uncovered the next time I hear them. I have read two of his published books, (see my Amazon reviews), taken Coaching Mastery seminar by him, and received my NLP practitioner license from London (He was one of three trainers.) As a life coach, not only I, myself, practice his teachings, but also, I share them with my clients. So, before I listened to the CDs, I thought, "Well, I really understand what he is talking about..." WOW! I could not have been more surprised as I learned something deeper, beyond his words this time.
Michael Neill's trained actor's voice sets the tempo, and his enthusiasm and compassion lift up the language, and conveys a much deeper understanding than his talent alone. When you read a book, you read with our own voice, often thinking of the meaning in your own context of what you think is right, so you miss what's beyond the meaning and content, and in the process, what he was trying to convey. His ideas and stories are uniquely his own, and his own delivery lends a totality to his intended communication that creates an aliveness that can only be experienced. Visceral, emotional, and the sensuality of the communication, which is normally not fully present in a written form, in this medium, is amplified to the highest effect.
Another luxurious benefit is this: as he speaks, we can sit back in our most comfortable chair, close our eyes (which I actual did), and go into a quiet state of mind where we turn off our monkey mind that bounces from thought to thought. This way, you can be receptive and more open to what he is actually saying, and you can be present as he takes you to a special place in your mind, that will allow you to be in touch with your true inner voice.
