Success Secrets: Letters to Matthew [Paperback]

Richard Webster (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2001

Rekindle Your Passion for Your Life's Work
Don't lead a half-life, Matthew. I'm trying to help you find your passion. When you find your passion you'll never work again. Of course, you'll probably work extremely hard, but it won't seem like work. Because it is your passion, your purpose, your reason for being here.
Matthew lacks vision and passion in his life. His marriage is on the rocks and his job status is precarious. Just as he is feeling the lowest he's felt in years, he finds in his mailbox an envelope addressed to him, with no return address and no stamp. He instantly recognizes the handwriting as that of his history teacher from high school. Matthew has not seen or talked to Mr. Nevin in thirty years. Why would Matthew get a letter from him now?
The first letter from Mr. Nevin arrives just as the problems in Matthew's personal and business life are reaching a crisis level. Each well-timed letter gives Matthew encouragement and new ways to deal with his life. After the seventh letter, Matthew sets out to find Mr. Nevin and thank him personally. As the story ends, Matthew discovers that the letters from Mr. Nevin truly are an extraordinary gift.
Success Secrets: Letters to Matthew is a touching story about following your dreams, overcoming obstacles, and rekindling your passion for life. This book is the perfect companion volume to Richard Webster's immensely popular Seven Secrets to Success: A Story of Hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, April 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Success Secrets: Letters to Matthew (Paperback)

I thought it would be really contrived, since it is obviously a motivational book, but I found myself reading it in one sitting, and really felt the message as I read it. Of course it is esy to figure out the origin of the letters, but on the whole even if you are not into New Age material, you will still find something to perk you up in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Mistake?, July 11, 2001

This review is from: Success Secrets: Letters to Matthew (Paperback)

I just received this book and had the intention of quickly glancing at it.

That was a mistake.

I got SO caught up in this story, that I literally breezed through it in one short sitting. I couldn't put it down.

I'm a fan of Richard Webster, and wondered if he could match his other book, Seven Secrets. Well he has. Webster has created a very engaging motivational story. Like it or not, by the time you put it down you'll have a positive outlook on things.

Success Secrets is a wonderful book!
