This book, along with many of Mandino's books, will help anyone with low self-esteem, high dreams and expectations, or simple questions about the things that are going on in your life. My grandmother introduced me to Og Mandino with the book "Greatest Salesman in the World" and I read and reread that book. If you are looking for motivation, his books have lots of "advice" that could put you into gear, and go for the goal. Mr. Mandino is a genius. I would love to meet him one day. "The Choice" helped my brother to come to terms with lots of complications in his life. You come to realize that life is how you choose to make it. Other people cannot bring you happiness, you must choose to live a happy life, by your own means.

This powerful little book is chock-full of great concepts and teachings that really have the ability to change your life for the better. Really one of the best inspirational books around!!!

The last book before Mr. Og's passing treats us to new wisdom of his long-time friend Simon Potter. I looked forward to each new book by Mandino and will greatly miss him. I will cherish his wisdom that he shared with us and the great stories

This is a terrific book, I like how Mr. Og returns to the classics to help maintain your fire--"the Creed of the Conquering Chief", "Pushing to the Front", Elbert Hubbards Scrapbook, and "As a Man Thinketh are all distilled within this book.

I think this is Og's best book--no offense to the "Greatest Salesman in the World'

Great Book from a Man with a Big Heart

I've been a big fan of Og Mandino for more than a decade, and have read *everything* he wrote. Unfortunately, this book--his last before his death in Fall 1996--isn't quite up to snuff. A second sequel to his terrific GREATEST MIRACLE IN THE WORLD, this book's first half is really a story recap of MIRACLE and the first sequel, RETURN OF THE RAGPICKER. This material is then followed by the book's most valuable offering--reprints of some hard-to-find success literature, much of it more than a century old. But even then, a part of that is wasted on a reprinting of portions from James Allen's classic AS A MAN THINKETH, which you can find just about anywhere. Ah well... Mediocre Og is better than no Og at all, I suppose. It is sad that this book is his last hurrah--and a half-hearted one

Can Og Mandino write anything that is not worth reading? NO - he cannot. He is simply marvelous in all his books. I read one, then another and another. I couldn't stop. He is simply inspirational. Please read all his books. You will not regret it.
