The problem with most self-help books is that they're either too simple - I breeze throught them, wonder why I didn't write that myself and forget the entire thing by morning - or they're so complex it takes a Ph.D. to muddle through them.

The Future Scrapbook hits the happy medium. It offers fun exercises I WANT to do, and doesn't talk down to me or over my head.

I have read many books on goal setting/attainment and this is one of the best. The author says that one day he sat down and made a list of goals, like most other books say to do. The problem was that the list didn't really motivate him -- so he invented a way to make his goals come alive by making them into future "memories" and thereby adding emotional "zing" to them. I think his approach is terrific and highly recommend this book.

The Future Scrapbook is an excellent motivational and training tool for potential leaders and managers. The Scrapbook clearly teaches the student the he/she is accountable for their own future and that any realistic future can be realized. The Scrapbook focuses the reader's attention and energies to those activities which are critical for their success. I recommend this for anyone who is mentoring or training potential managers.

In his book, The Future ScrapBook: Having the Design for Your Life, Nick Hall puts a new spin on the power of positive thinking by suggesting that if we can activate vivid and concrete thoughts about our wildest dreams they can come true. With a series of guided exercises the reader is taken through a step by step process of projecting and materializing the future rather than spending precious time collecting relics and reminders of the past.

The book is fresh and alive with enthusiasm derived from the author's own experiences!

This is an amazing book. Its well written, clear and descriptive. I'd reccomend it to anyone who needs inspiration or direction in life. The concept is innovative and unique. Everyone needs to get their hands on a copy of this book! You will learn so much about yourself, and help improve your futre!

Nicholas Hall has produced a unique landmark in our quest for positive thinking and designing our life coupled with simplicity! I have come across numerous ideas, concepts and guidelines to improve one's life for goals fulfilment. However, in my opinion, none approaches the concept of "The Future Scrap Book." In particular, I believe "Sharing your goals" is the most powerful tool to apply - you have no option but to persevere to attain your optimum potential! I have considered myself lucky all my life. Having discovered this book is yet another positive milestone to implement even at my age of 54. I simply recommend this book and its concepts to all who seek to reach for the STARS!
