From the Inside Flap

Success...the most sought after secret of the ages. For centuries science, religion, theology, psychology and sociology have tried to capture the true meaning of life and the path to its fulfillment. James Ray shows you that the most simple answers to your quest lie deep within you, like a lock, waiting to be opened by the right combination.

Illustrated with fun stories and powerful anecdotes, The Science of Success gives you the thoughts and actions necessary to achieve whatever you desire. Some of the things you will learn are:

* The 7 Universal Laws that guarantee success and how to utilize them in your physical, financial, intellectual, relational, and spiritual life; * Why you are capable of achieving anything you want in your life and exactly how to do it; * Your power to create and attract your desires and how to live a life of abundance; * How to let go past limitations; * The formula for financial freedom.

The Science of Success is your answer if:

* you have ever had the experience of reading a book, listening to a speaker, or attending a seminar and left feeling briefly motivated until you fell back into old habits; * you have experienced success but you were unable to hang on to it or to recreate it; or * you have ever wanted a proven and lasting formula for success.

You owe it to yourself to study, understand, and apply The Science of Success! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Success is a direction in life, not a destination..., December 21, 2006

This review is from: The Science of Success: How To Attract Prosperity and Create Harmonic Wealth Through Proven Principles (Paperback)

There is truly a science to achieving success and this awesome book illuminated a number of key principles which I have started using in every area of my life.

It doesn't read like a novel; you're not necessary going to be whisked away to far away lands with rich characters...but, you do learn how to use PROVEN principles and how to apply your passionate energy and imagination to define what success is for you and then how to go about achieving that experience in life. The bonus is that the author explains complex concepts in a very down-to-earth and practical way so the information is easy to understand and retain.

When I first started reading the book, I would take a chapter per week and read, re-read and re-read again all the rich information until I felt that I could teach it to someone else. I wouldn't read ahead until I was certain I understood the principles highlighted in each chapter and how I could use it in my life to experience success. Now, almost 2 years later, I use the book to refresh my memory and to keep me inspired as I continue to grow my business doing what I love to do...nurturing and guiding artists in unleashing their creative wisdom!

If you are serious about experiencing a life of bliss, filled with emotional, spiritual, and financial rewards this book will guide the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Science of Success, November 29, 2006

This review is from: The Science of Success: How To Attract Prosperity and Create Harmonic Wealth Through Proven Principles (Paperback)

This book has changed my life! For years I have been working on "changing my stories", but it wasn't until reading about the power of paradigms in The Science of Success that I finally understood this life changing concept. I had to learn that there is no such thing as competition. For a massage therapist in a small city saturated with massage therapists that is a very important paradigm to change. As soon as I did that and learned to be grateful for my gifts and my clients, my business began to grow by leaps and bounds! In just a few months of putting the concepts I learned in this amazing book to work, my fledgling massage business doubled!

It's been almost a year since I first read the book. I have now read it several times, and each time something new catches my eye or my understanding deepens. My husband has read it now, as well. As a result of putting these concepts we learned to practice, we have attracted new businesses, family vacations paid for by work, new home, new car, and new amazing friends into our lives!

The concepts in this book are tried and true. They are timeless and worth repeating over and over again; this could explain the reason you will see similar concepts taught by other success coaches in other books. The thing to remember, especially when learning about success is that there will always be someone offering the same or similar thing you offer, and what speaks to one person may not speak to the next. That is why this book is so amazing to me. Sure there are others who may say something similar, but this one spoke to me. It was a fun, easy & quick read which is important for a busy mom/wife/small business owner! Most importantly the principles taught in the book were easy to understand and then put into practice, thus rendering quick results! Quick ROI is exactly what every successful person needs!

This review is from: The Science of Success: How To Attract Prosperity and Create Harmonic Wealth Through Proven Principles (Paperback)

I received James Ray's book for Christmas, two years ago. Since that time it has become a trusted friend. It has changed my life. I have read self-help books for over 40 years. This one has done more for me than all the others put together. It is simple to understand but contains all the great truths in a systematic plan that anyone can understand. James has written it in a clear, concise, logical manner. His understanding and grasp of the success fundamentals gives you the ability to see and believe it will work for you. It will do wonders for you. Get the book and let it do its magic.
