An inspirational plan for success!, June 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Successology: The Science of Success (Paperback)
Successoloy, is by far the most powerful and comprehensive plan for success I have ever encountered. Scott Rogers has managed to create a book that addresses both the personal and business side of an individual's life. With humor and an easy style of writing, Successology, teaches one to evaluate who you really are, what one projects to others, and then how one is perceived. The book is filled with tips, as well as, interactive worksheets in the form of questions and quizzes. He concludes the book with a "Success Formula" that is truly brilliant! As a side note, after reading this book, I had an opportunity to attend one of Mr. Roger's seminars. The book can only be surpassed by his live presentation of "The Science of Success". He truly personifies all the lessons he so cleverly teaches. His wit and wisdom are inspirational. This is a must read!

Amazing, June 24, 2002
This review is from: Successology: The Science of Success (Paperback)
I was amazed when I read Successology. Firstly the style of writing was narrative and I felt like I was listening to someone chat to me - it was so user friendly. The contents of the book were so insightful, useful, and easily applicable. I realized quickly that this book held the secrets to my own success. By applying the ideas contained within its pages I have already seen a dramatic improvement in my life, in my attitude, and in my outlook. I am treating myself differently and in turn I am being treated much better by colleagues, and by friends and family. I am so surprised that this book has not made it on to the likes of Oprah or the news shows (Successology is a MUST read for any sales person, manager, or just someone looking to be successful)...it really is innovative, thought provoking and in addition, it changes ones outlook on other self help books. Successology does not ask you to spend any money (so that's a plus to begin with), it does not make wild promises, it just delivers what it says - a scientific approach to success which can be gained by anyone. The book is crammed packed with quotes, self tests, stories, ideas, theoretical analysis, and even has a website dedicated to it. I would reccomend this book to everyone and indeed, I am going to be buying this book for all my colleagues. Simply, this book is unbelievable until you actually read it. I think it will eventually rank as one of the all time greats in self help guides.

...reasonably good ideas to help readers identify & achieve success, but it has very bad editing & poor design!, May 20, 2007
This review is from: Successology: The Science of Success (Paperback)
Successology: The Science of Success by Scott Rogers In principle, this book has reasonably good ideas to help readers identify & achieve personal success, but it has very bad editing & poor design. As a result, & with due respect, I find that the command of the English language is weak & the balancing of text & graphic symbols, which supposedly had been deliberately provided to guide your reading pursuit, is somewhat horrendous. I find it rather difficult to follow the train of thoughts in the book. Although the author has provided capsule summaries at the end of vital sections of the book, plus useful tips in bold print, I find them inadequate to compensate for the poor editing. I can see that the author has the intention to create some sort of work-book format to go with his ideas, but the resultant attempt invariably gets lost in the mess. Frankly, I don't find the so-called fantastic 3Y Theory revolutionary or amazing, but they do make some sense in the context of perceptual filters. To make matters worst, the web-sites mentioned at the end of the book do not correspond at all. In fact, they belong to someone else. Probably, they are now out of date considering the fact that the book was published in 2001. Seriously, I wanted to read this book very much. I really don't know: The author may be a great speaker, but when it comes down to writing a book, he definitely needs substantive guidance. If the book is revamped, I will definitely come back to review it again.
