This is a unique book that helps one take an honest look at their developmental pathways. Yes, the novel could appear somewhat "cheesy" to some, but one may need to get rid of the self-righteous attitudes that afflict so many people in this world to be able to synthesize this material into practical application. It is a great story that keeps you reading until the end...not unlike many "cheesy" Hollywood stories that people pay many dollars to watch at the movie theaters. It is just as entertaining, but with much more there for those who wish to see it. When is the movie coming out? Thanks Dr. Hill!

Living At the Summit is a tremendously thought-provoking, well-written self-help book which offers solid, concrete, and simple principles for living a life of excellence and reaching one's human potential. Unlike any other self-help book I have read thus far, these principles are taught in the midst of a riveting, fast-paced, and fast-reading fiction story that grips your attention from the very first page to the last. I read this book in one sitting and could not put it down! A real nail-biter! Appropriate and entertaining for teens to seniors. Everyone can identify themselves in at least one, if not several, of the characters in the story, so it teaches in a personal way. Definitely to be read - and studied - more than once, with a bibliography included for further study, if one desires. This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in breaking out of a life of mediocrity. Kudos to Dr. Tom Hill!

I have read many many self-help and personal development books. After reading "Living at the Summit" I would have to say this book ranks in the top five books I have read, based on its ability to help me change my life. This is a book that you do not read just once. You read it over and over and gain more insight every time that you do. It propelled me to take action in my life in a way other books could not. The "novel" format was offbeat and had me wondering for a long time when the story was going to "getting around to helping me". Needless to say, it did. You find yourself associating some of your personal traits with those of each of the characters in the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is searching for a better life, a better path to follow. In addition, your study is not complete until you follow this up with the "Living at the Summit--a Life Plan" which is your workbook for putting your life in order, just as the characters in the story did. If after reading this review, you have more questions, I would be happy to hear from you. My e-mail address is: jackiemj00@aol.com. For the first time since my "life search" began, I have written goals for my life that I am excited about, thanks to Dr. Tom Hill and Associates!

Living at the Summit is a beautiful book. I could not put it down

I have read many books on the subject of personal growth but "Living at The Summit" is the most Powerful! The story, which is filled with mystery and suspense is well worth reading, even if it didn't contain the personal growth component.

When the reader has finished the book a Great Story has been told but more importantly, they will be on a path to make their life more meaningful. The reader will set and achieve goals that in the past have eluded them. They will finally be able to make their dreams come true.

I have given this book to my wife and we are jointly working on our 18 and 36 month goals. If you would like to make positive changes in your life and to accomplish things that you have given up on, this book is a must read.

Dr. Tom Hill has written a book that everyone should be able to use for a guide to living a better life. I especially liked the fiction format in which he skillfully brought all the aspects of a Positive Mental Attitude book together to form an exciting, useful and thought provocing text. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has the desire to reach for more in their life.

Dr. Hill uses the story format is a unique vehicle to present his encompassing model for reaching fulfillment; it places his lofty concepts into a simple and practical perspective, even as one is engrossed in the storyline. It is somehow less threatening to initially explore new ideas in regard to fictional characters' lives, as opposed to jumping into weighty analyses of ourselves before we can appreciate the benefits of how all the parts of the plan fit together. This book overcomes your natural xenophobia and leaves you with a "can do" feeling and excitement about getting started on the rest of your life.

Few books can demand my attention cover to cover in one sitting, this one did! Written in novel style, it follows a brief period in five peoples lives that experience a "significant emotional event" that brings out weaknesses in their character and then through a mentor helps them define the weaknesses in all aspects of their lives and then develops a guide on how to make life changes. Some books simply "hit home", this one did for me. I bought 10 of them for my friends.

Living at the Summit offers a two-fold benefit for the reader. First and foremost, it is easy to read and hard to put down. From the first page, I was hooked. The story immediately captured my attention so much that I forgot I was reading a self-help book. But when I finished the last page, I knew there were long-term benefits that would stay with me long after I closed the book. For creatively woven into the structure of the story and within each of the main characters' lives is page after page of life-changing information, thus offering me ways to improve all areas of my life. Dr. Tom Hill did his homework and selflessly presents the answers so his reader can have the tools necessary to create a better life. Living at the Summit is a life-changing book, one I will come back to again and again.

Living at the Summit is immediately engaging and compels you to read on. I was sure that the good guys would win and even then, I needed to follow the ominous twists and turns. The Five Life Priorities are appropriately depicted by the main characters. They gave me a new perspective of the changes that I am now able to seriously look at in my life. Thanks for the insight on how to forge past our greatest challenges and live life to the fullest .
