This a an incredible book about improving your life and attitude. It is a must for anyone wanting to know what it takes to be successful. This is what sets the Wealthy apart from the other 90% of america.

You all know times when you've thought of a great idea that you abandoned after you allowed negative thoughts to tear it to shreds. Or perhaps you began an important task but didn't complete it because you just couldn't keep focused. Maybe you've found it difficult succeeding in business or advancing in your career because of indecision, timidity, or lack of mental poise.

Dumont writes that the three reasons you cannot concentrate are 1) Deficiency of the motor centers; 2) An impulsive and emotional mind; and 3) An untrained mind. He teaches why concentration is so important and provides several exercises in improving concentration and will power.

"Success is assured when you are able to concentrate for you are then able to utilize for your good all constructive thoughts and shut out all destructive ones. It is of the greatest value to be able to think only that which will be beneficial."

Good content, however, the whole book was photocopied and there are blotches that make reading a page very difficult. Whole lines are missing, like they are trying to delete certain info. All and all, it is a very good book on concentrating, and exercises on concentrating.

Although the book is good, I agree with one of the other reviewers, the print is really bad. It looks like somebody has printed the book at home with a printer that has an empty ink cartridge.

The print is so poor I have not been able to read it. I felt inmensely cheated

This is one of the best books I have ever read
on personal development. Ever page has amazing
insights. You will not be disapointed
