5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic perspective shift, February 6, 2006

This review is from: The Power of Appreciation (Audio CD)

I really enjoyed this audio program and the author's authentic and engaging voice.

I was in the trap (that happens to so many of us) of being busy, charging ahead, and trying to keep up with so many tasks and to-dos coming at me each day.

Listening to Mike's perspectives and using the tools to focus on the good stuff was calming, eye opening and...I'm happy to say...heart opening.

If you'd like to enjoy the journey some more, live the "life is good" philosophy, and just feel better day by day and hour by hour you'll definitely love this program. Great stuff Mike. Thanks. Highly recommended.
