Review

"This is easily one of the most practical life-changing books that I have ever read." -- Harold McFarland, The Midwest Book Review, February 2003

From the Inside Flap

With so many books about self-realization and success on the racks, why aren’t more people self-realized and successful?

Huge numbers of people pursuing this type of information prove that many want more from life. They are even willing to invest time and money to learn how to achieve more. So why don’t more people actually succeed? Scott Jeffrey realizes what many well-meaning motivators and educators miss:

This information must be consistently usable in everyday life.

It must be accessible to men and women with impossible work schedules, families, and other time consuming responsibilities. Before writing the first page of Journey to the Impossible, Scott focused on strategies and tactics that "tune" what is already within the individual rather than complicating the task with new, often confusing information. Through a series of thought-provoking strategies and exercises, Scott Jeffrey helps you organize your thoughts, tap existing power and claim the success you already own. Scott’s proven methods will quickly help you become a self-contained success in all areas of life and positively affect all you touch.

This review is from: Journey to the Impossible: Designing an Extraordinary Life (Hardcover)

I review many, many books each year and each year I find two or three that are so powerful that I find myself taking notes. "Journey to the Impossible" is one of these books. Read it, reread it, highlight it, take notes, do whatever you need to do to keep this information at hand while you use it to transform your life.

A lot of things are impossible only because we perceive them to be impossible. And yet others who don't see them that way achieve those same goals. Scott Jeffrey takes us on a wonderful journey to achieving the impossible every day. With short, easy to read chapters the book lends itself to reading a chapter whenever you get a few minutes. This is easily one of the most practical life-changing books that I have ever read. Bravo, Scott Jeffrey, I could not recommend the book more highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something for EVERYbody!, March 19, 2002

By 

"zsmith928" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Journey to the Impossible: Designing an Extraordinary Life (Hardcover)

The title got me excited -- and the rest of the book changed me. 'Journey to the Impossible' is full of useful, easy and practical ways to change your life and create something extraordinary.

The chapters are broken into bite-sized pieces, some only 2-3 pages long. This technique allowed me to easily take Scott's recommendations and apply them - instantly. I didn't need to learn a philosophy to begin practicing what Scott preaches, as I was able to digest every chapter quickly and see the effects of the excercise, thought process, etc. right away. This is a powerful difference between 'Journey' and many other books on the market right now. With the busy lives we lead, we need something that we can take in and integrate quickly and effectively. Scott Jeffrey's 'Journey' accomplishes this admirably.

Read and recommend this book to all you care about. This book brings home a strong message for those who want to lead the best life they possibly can...it is amazing how the power of a few words can change so much.

In all, a true pleasure to read and recommend!

Got dreams you haven't begun to put wings on? Got goals you have not yet achieved? Got plans for the future? Well, Scott Jeffrey's book has been a genuine inspiration to me, and I believe it will help you too. He gives you short, easy tips to implement, fun ways to motivate yourself, and a whole toolbox of ideas that will help you put wings on those dreams and reach those goals.
I have 4-5 favorite chapters that offered advice that has become part of my daily life, and even if those chapters are not your own favorites, I know every reader will find something that will speak to him or her personally. This is easily the best motivational book I've read in several years.
