Success At Life is the best motivational business/life book I have come across. As a follower of Tony Robbins personal power dictums, I found Rubin and Gold's philosophies and experiences to be more real world and authentic. This is a book for realists that does away with the usual self-help babble presenting instead a hip, witty style that provides you with a want to and will do attitude for success. The book's underlying message is that we all need to learn how to enjoy the journey-Success At Life it is a great ride.

As a graduate business student it is refreshing to read a book which focuses not only on making money, but also on enjoying life. I found the book to be both practical and motivating. It makes you ask yourself the question, "Why aren't I doing that?" The advice on finding a mentor is invaluable. A great read!

I must have read over 300 books on success having been a Dale Carnegie Instuctor and a Tony Robbins trainer. This book by Ron Rubin and Stuart Gold is a truly outstanding guide for any person committed to the duel task of being financially successful and making a difference. The advice is profound. And the writing style is really a treat....funny, clever lines, and well-chosen quotations pepper this book for the reader's enjoyment. They even do a great job of downplaying the Zen-spiritual part which can be a turn-off to business-minded people who are skeptical of the New Age approach to success. This is one of those unique books that blends the New Age with the nitty-gritty of making big bucks and living your dream.

Tony Robbins says, "live with passion" and this book shows you how.

This is simply a great book!...

This is a book about business, about life, about you and about me. With humor, intelligence, wit and wisdom, Rubin and Gold offer the type of teachings that will make a difference in how you approach work and life. Become a Zentrepreneur and see your place in the world as you were meant to experience it. Learn how to rediscover your passion, set goals, take risks, confront failure, enjoy success. I have only one bad thing to say about Success At Life, I wish it were 100 pages longer!

Ron Rubin and Stuart Avery Gold fill the pages of Success@Life with personal antecdotes of success usefull to any person looking to find and follow his passion. Some of the topics lack detail, but the antecdotes allow the reader to relate to the topics on a more personal level. Some of the references to tea and The Republic of Tea seem forced, but, ovrall, the books is a great general guide to a successful life as a zentrepreneur.

Success@Life, a fast, easy, humorous read, explains how to catch and live your dreams by finding your passion in life. Ron Rubin and Stuart Avery Gold describe something more than an entrepreneur. They have cleverly renamed the term "zentrepreneur" which is defined as one who creates a business AND a life. It is a motivating book that stresses finding your passion, taking risks, finding a mentor, and how to live a life of balance. If you are looking for the answer to "how to start your own business", don't look here. The most important message in Success@Life is to follow your dream and you will never work a day in your life. A truly refreshing new look at life.

Although I had a difficult time relating to some of the themes in this book, I found it to have an original angle in the "self help" market. The authors were successful at displaying and explaining their points of view, and I understood them well. However, I found some of the themes to be a bit broad, and some of the opinions to be closed minded. Overall, the book gives good insight into the lives and experiences of the authors, and offers potentially useful solutions to relationship and business problems.

The book "Success@Life - How to Catch and Live Your Dream" is a great book for any aspiring entrepreneur. Stuart Avery Gold and Ron Rubin help the reader find both his dream and the courage to try to make it come true. That, combined with lots of helpful hints on how to be successful, make this book a must read for any aspiring entreprenuer.

The authors are quick to admit it is not easy to be an entrepreneur - it involves a LOT of hard work and the path will be filled with failures and mistakes. The book does a great job of helping an entrepreneur avoid many of those mistakes, and more importantly how to get the most out of your talents and realize your dream.

The book does not cover the traditional areas of business (marketing, finance, accounting) but rather deals with what it is that seperates successful people from the rest. Whether it be desire, talent, advice from a mentor or your attitude; the authors will show you what it takes to be successful

Success@Life is a fantastic motivational tool, with a "matter-of-fact" style of writing makes it a pleasure to read. It is a concise, well written instruction manual on how to lead a fulfilling life. Each chapter of the book is devoted to a different element necessary to acheiving your dreams. I would recommend this book to anyone that has a passion and a desire to succeed, but feels that their dream is out of reach. This book will give you that needed boost to overcome the mental and physical obstacles standing in your way.

I had almost gotten complacent. Almost felt like a few of my dreams might be too far out of reach. That's a sad and troubling state of mind and I was feeling the weight of regret.

But... I said, almost.

I bought "Success@Life..."

I read it.

I re-read it.

I'm better now.

This small volume is one of the largest books that I've ever put into my mind. It's a jumpstart and an accelerant for a stalled psyche.

Starting to doubt yourself is one of the worst feelings in the world. You'll rekindle the fire of desire after reading this totally worthwhile life's guide.

Ron Rubin and Stuart Avery Gold should be applauded loudly for their inspirational and motivational guide. Gold's ultra-streetwise gameplan makes pursuing and capturing your dreams not only possible, but probable. I believe, Brother, I believe!!!!
