Ken Foster, Author - Ask and You Will Succeed

The Obstacle Course" is written as a novel, but to me, as a person who has been in therapy for clinical depression, it is more of a self-help/inspirational book.

The seemingly simple teaching method Dr. Acton uses enables his students to overcome obstacles they hadn't even thought of as being obstacles. By doing this and by using his unique teaching methods, Dr. Acton is able to instill in his students confidence and self-awareness that obstacles and the path to overcome them are truly possible. He also instills in his students a deep feeling of self-worth and compassion that is truly inspiring.

I highly recommend this book to anyone, young or old, simply because it makes you feel good - and that is a rare commodity in the times we live in.

I've read this book several times now and I enjoy it immensely each time I do. With each read I find myself learning something new, or gaining some new perspective on life that I didn't pick up the first time around. I expect this to be one of those books that sits in my personal development library for a very long time... Josh Hinds - GetMotivation.com

"The Obstacle Course" is in the same genre as "Who Moved My Cheese?", but has its own unique labyrinth of stories that not only entertain, but move and challenge the reader to think about larger issues.

The story has special applications to those in academia and especially those in business. "The Obstacle Course" touches the realm of spirituality without being overtly religious or sectarian. To that extent, it is a book for everyone.

Rather than being another `how-to' book, "The Obstacle Course" is lightly seasoned with humor that makes for an enjoyable read that touches the soul as well as the mind.

Read this book! Fast-paced, entertaining and most importantly, it'll get "under your skin" and transform your life. Great reading. Great fun. The principles are powerful, practical and timeless. There are thousands of "self-help" books, most of which are purchased with great intentions but end up becoming "shelf-help" books that sit on the shelf, unread. This is an exception. You'll read it, use it, and find yourself thinking about it over and over again. Once again - buy and read this book!

I have studied and published self-help information for many years, and rarely do I see something as unique and fresh as "The Obstacle Course".

Its story format is fun and entertaining to read, while making it easier to understand and remember the lessons... And these lessons are some of the most important things to know in life, things which aren't typically learned in school.

I believe anyone can take a course from "Dr. Acton", benefit from this book, and enjoy the story at the same time.
