This book is filled with life enhancing ~ contents ~ growth experiences ~ developmental chapters. These meaningful chapters can be utilized in incremental stages. The way we utilize the book is to read it all first in its entirety. Then taking a principle one at a time and utilizing the information on how you can enhance your life as well as those around you, we use and practice one principle a week with a small focus group. You can gain immeasurably by putting into practice the principles, while increasing the effectiveness of the group. This book has been a tremendous growth experience for us, and we would highly recommend it for anyone truly interested in self improvement.

This book is the most complete book from A to Z covering the topic of personal development. Dr. Rubino explains the different steps in a detailed, yet simple process. It gets you thinking about who you are and who you want to become through"change". His use of quotations of many famous people through the years, share with you that personal development has been around for many years and that it is highly under utilized. In todays society where its use is becoming more prevalent, Dr. Rubino's book is an easy to read text. If one is up to it, and I highly recommend this, one should do all of the suggested exercises at the end of the chapters. If you're into personal development and "change" then this is the book for you.

Through a series of about 55 personal development principles, Dr. Rubino takes the reader through a powerful course in being the best you can be. If someone takes on the different exercises as I and many I work with did, their lives will surely be enhanced. I highly recommend it for anyone open to exploring how they can be effective in their lives and improve all their relationships. The value in the success principle explanations he offers is in their direct, insight-producing breakthroughs. The exercises suggested are also very powerful in supporting anyone to really encorporate these principles in their lives. It's a great two book series!

I found this little book a delightful read, and skimmed through it in an afternoon. Dr Rubino covers many of the fundamental principles common to most "self-help" and motivational books, often with a creative twist. At the same time, he moves through the chapters so quickly and briefly, that there is very little substance here. The typical chapter is about 3 pages long, including a brief quote, a statement of the principle being covered, and then a page or so of the author's personal notes and commentary. A strong point of the book is that each chapter includes an action section with several questions designed to help the reader take immediate action in their own lives. Two weaknesses of the book are that Dr Rubino extensively uses language unique to the personal development "movement", and the book seems designed to promote both his own books, and the programs of his partners, with numerous references throughout the book and in the endnotes.

Over-all, a pleasant book, with many positive reminders to take personal responsibility for my life and use the resources available to me, but not a very meaty book, and certainly not a profound one.

What a great book! Dr. Joe Rubino once again shares his mastery of success principles with a readership who is likely to devour every morsel of information he has so willingly shared. Not only is he an excellent teacher, but he's achieved in his own life the type of success he teaches. The two don't necessarily go together :-) With Joe they do.

This book is Dr. Joe's masterpiece! A brilliant system for reaching great heights. A road map to the principles of life that spell super-success for anyone who is willing to apply them. This book should be read -- no, it should be devoured! -- by everyone.

From the luxury of a cozy chair you can tap into a comprehensive program for self study in personal effectiveness- these power principles are worthy of a $20,000 course! Connie Dugan, Certified Business Coach for The Heart of Business.

This is the book to read if you want to make lasting changes in your life.I have been able to follow these effective principles and am able to see the difference in my life for the better. I highly recommend this book.
