5.0 out of 5 stars
creating changes within you and first of all transforming your life, February 8, 2010
This review is from: Supercoach (Paperback)
This book is amazing and the third I read from Michael. Again it is a great mixture of stories, tips, experiments to explore for yourself and the really joyful experience of reading this book and enjoying the smiles this book will inevitable bring to your face. If you are looking for an oh-so-serious-and-you-have-to-work-on-yourself-very-hard-book you might be disappointed for this book is simply fun! You'll be transformed and will have fun while doing so. It is effortless! In session one you are asked to write down some of your beliefs around life, yourself, people, money and happiness. I am still amazed about how profoundly these beliefs were changed after reading this book and it simply didn't feel like working but like having fun!
For me each of the ten sessions had the right length so I could read them easily and follow along with the experiments. I loved doing them and share them with friends. The style of writing is wonderful! It's just as if you were sitting in opposite chairs and had a long meaningful conversation. I love it and keep coming back to it to re-read certain pages or re-do certain experiments and find renewed inspiration or/and feeling as if I understand sessions more deeply. I am glad it transformed my life and I can already see the infectious way happiness is spreading within the circle of my friends! And that's great to see! Thanks for this amazing book!

This is way beyond a book on coaching, January 31, 2010
This review is from: Supercoach (Paperback)
Every once in a while you come across a book that can transform your life - every once in a loooooong while. This is one such book. On the face of it, this seems unlikely since the production quality is bad and the layout is not very appealing. But please do go beyond getting hung up on this because what is inside is pure gold.
On a superficial level this is a book by a successful coach who will help you become successful yourself by giving you a set of tools that really work. On this level it delivers well. But there is a deeper level. At this level, it changes how you view the world and actually becomes a vehicle for profound personal transformation. For example, in one of the chapters he talks about how you should strive to have an average day. There is method behind his madness. If you always strive to be exceptional and have a super day and every one tries to do the same then what is exceptional and super today quickly becomes commonplace and the level of stress goes up exponentially. If, on the other hand, you define what you would consider an average day in terms of what you want to accomplish in reaching your goals and actually do what that entails, you will quickly realize that you are producing 6 sigma results with little stress and much joy. On a deeper level, which he does not explicitly mention but the discerning reader can pick up, trying for an average day is a tool for subjugating the ego which is a necessity for spiritual progress and proclaimed so in many traditions.
This is true of every chapter. There are multiple layers, like an onion, and you gt to decide how many layers you will peel. I suspect that if you read it again, you will discover more layers on your own. Like Alice, you get to decide how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole.
This is not a book to be read. It is a work to be experienced. If you get it and do the exercises and follow the tips, you will not be the same person who started on the journey and will be much more at peace with yourself.
I know how effective what he prescribes is because I have been using similar exercises in my programs for decades. Check out my syllabus at [...]

Supercoach superbook..I have two., March 15, 2010
I have most of Michael's books and audio. Many years ago I had a session with Michael that helped me a lot and so I know he is 'for real'. I really do have two copies of this book. One I keep for myself and fill with highlighter, and the other I lend out. It's gentle and almost meditative. It is practical in that if you do the exercises and work the changes you will change your allignment, inside and begin to get more creative and rewarding results outside. I thoroughly recommend this book!
