1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless book - these 5 star reviews are suspicious, October 5, 2005

By

This review is from: The Power of Positive Habits (Paperback)

I have never, repeat never, posted a bad review for anything on Amazon but I'll make a special exception for this so-called book.

Firstly, to save yourself the time and trouble of buying it, here's the one line summary...it takes 21 days to set up a new habit so, to create a new habit, do it for 21 days. Got it? That's it. Was that really such a revelation?

The author doesn't even try to deal with the situations where you don't want to do something every day...for example, he talks about setting up a habit of weighing yourself once a week...so how do we set up a habit like that then...weigh ourselves daily for 21 days, but once a week?!

Secondly, the author has then padded out the rest of this book with filler articles that you could find in magazines or from the internet.

Thirdly, and most annoyingly, it seems very doubtful that the rave reviews here are genuine. Read the one-star reviews carefully and trust your gut instinct on who is being honest about this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars WARNING!!, October 14, 2005

By 

WARNING!!! - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Power of Positive Habits (Paperback)

This book is solely making it from the false reviews/ advertisments from other books. Click on 'See all my reviews' from these following people, and you'll notice a common aspect:

serene thomas
Ren "Ren"
I'm sure there are more names, but they advertise the same message on nearly every other health/image book.


also, isn't it curious that many on the 5-starers have only written one review?? Look at the April 17-20, Jan 25-27 crowd... hmmm a little suspicious... especially since they occur in 2-3 day BLOCKS!

This book should be banned due to the author's wangling!

I'd advise you to read all the 1-star comments.

1.0 out of 5 stars Someone is at it again, November 18, 2005

This review is from: The Power of Positive Habits (Paperback)

I'm re-alerting people to what "Warning" reviewer on october 14 wrote. Look at the October 20th reviews. Looks fishy. Most of them have only one review and that's of this book. Why the sudden flurry of reviews on that day? Gee...I think it's because it's the same person. Amazon should remove those reviews.

There are also reviews from "serene thomas" in 90 other nonrelated book reviews from on the Amazon site which is how I ended up at this book. And all 90 were submitted on october 20th. It's like spam on Amazon! Grrrrrr!!!
