5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reading, August 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mission: Success! (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a book you won't want to put down. I was visiting a friend, and they had to step out and run an errand. This book was on the table and I picked it up and started reading. Needless to say, I ended up taking the book home and finishing it. The story line takes place in England during World War 2. An American bombadier is asked to do an impossible mission during the height of the war. The story of him, and the people that he takes the time to get close to are an imspiratation to us all. This book will touch your heart.

Teachers of writing will tell you to write what you know. This book, centered around a bombadier's experiences in WWII, was written by a man who served as a bombadier in WWII, Og Mandino. It is designed to help you to learn from the experiences of people "in high places" who have gone before...some of the greatest philosophers, self-help teachers, and religious leaders. It is written in an unassuming method that will demand your attention, and can be read by almost anyone in just a few hours' time, but will deliver information and ideas that will take you a lifetime to fully realize how important they are.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favourite author because of his messages., December 22, 2001

This review is from: Mission: Success! (Hardcover)

My most favourite author is Og Mandino. I read only non-fiction books. I have read all of Og's books(12). I have read over 500 books since 1986(thanks to Brian Tracy). In my opinion anybody who has had a setback should read "A Better Way of Life."

Og went from riches to poverty to riches. Read: A Better Way of Life. His story - how he went from a successful salesman to an alcoholic and "lost" his wife and daughter and lost his job. He was going to kill himself and a book that accidentally "fell in his hands" turned his life completely around. He later became editor of Success Magazine in the U.S. and wrote many books.
I suggest you read "A Better Way of Life" on how he went from success to failure and then back to even greater success.

However the best chapter in any all the books I have read is: Chapter XVIII in Mission Success. It is so good that I committed the whole chapter to my mind and I now recite it from time to time.
