I am a huge fan of personal growth, my library is full of how-to books, and "Turn Passions Into Profits: Three Steps to Wealth and Power" by Christopher Howard is the cream de la cream.

Chris has taken what other people have presented for years, dating back to Napoleon Hill's famous book "Think & Grow Rich", and presented it clearly and with the latest innovative strategies. Chris uses powerful tools for seizing control of your own attitudes and behaviors to produce wealth on every level. In the book Chris uses a fairly new science, a study of the mind known as NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), which is the psychology of achievement thru interpersonal communication.

Chris has an amazing ability to inspire people to think differently about themselves and the world around them, enabling them to pursue dreams and ambitions that they previously never thought possible.

In "Turn Passions Into Profits" he reveals in detail of how the rich and famous build massive wealth. Chris shows mind maps for people like Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffett, Donald Trump and Richard Branson. Mind mapping is a brilliant tool to create and deepen new neurological connections and crystallize your new found knowledge in both your conscious and unconscious mind. Chris then teaches you how to create your Mind Map in a way that is so clear and simple to understand.

This is not another course in positive thinking; it is a secret road map to abundance, both financial and personal. You can easily, with the tools in this book, seize control of your own attitudes and behaviors to produce wealth on every level of your life.

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs - ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." Harold Thurman Whitman, Philosopher and Theologian

This book is the perfect means to find out what makes you come alive and then gives you the tools to go do it.

Turning Passions Into Profits was a great read, informative and substantive. Step 1 and Step 2 are great! The exercises and application to successful people was a plus. A drawback is the too much detail and somehow complicated categorization and "proprietary" processes that would take quite a few years for a 'creative type'non logical brain to master. Overall, the book was enlightenning, motivational and was worth the read.

This is a fantastic book. I would especially recommend it for those who might not be the happiest with their jobs. Christopher thinks straight, talks straight, and offers a lot of new and constructive ideas to improve your life and prioritize your goals.

It is easy to read and tough to put down. I highly recommend.

Christopher Howard's passion for his work and his depth of knowledge of the psychology of wealth and leadership creates a truly insightful book . He skillfully highlights keys to successfully navigate how we view and filter the world around us and how we can communicate and negotiate effectively. These tools are invaluable in a business setting . Reading Chris' book is akin to being given a map of a hidden treasure .You simply have to follow the steps and the only thing you will find is SUCCESS!

The only problem that I have with this book is that there wasn't enough information on installing the mindset. I would have liked to have more on this. I could see that in it of itself could fill another book but I would have liked more.

Once again, Chris Howard pulls out all stops and creates a book that anyone can understand. He writes the same way we hear, see, or feel. His style is great and the application seems so effortless. The princicples in this book are so great that it feels like the lost key has been handed to you. This book goes where none have gone before.
I have recommended this book to my students and my clients. This book should be the must have for anyone who wants more than they have right now.
This book is sure to be a best-seller. YOU WILL NEVER REGRET INVESTING IN YOURSELF BY BUYING THIS BOOK.

The Chapter on Focus alone is worth a million bucks!!! It CHANGED MY LIFE, written in a way that I 'got' the information I'd heard a 100 other places but never really sunk in on a visceral, tangible level. Want to be your magnificence? Then this book is A MUST. So impressive of a generous spirit as well that Christopher literally gives you in this book what turned his life from being thousands in debt to being a multi-millionaire - invest in your dreams and buy this book - now. Live the life you have imagined!

I have never seen a book like this. It the first few chapters Chris maps out the mind of Oprah, Trump andd others. Its so cool to see how their brains and their succes can be drawn and illustrated right in front of you. There are so many ahh hahs( at least for me) in this book- I can't mention them all. If you are searching for a book that will show you a path through to success( with new thinking) this one is for you. I love it.

An amazing book on how to change your life, easy to understand,
great steps that literally walk you through how to get there. Invaluable information that you can apply immediately for anyone who wants focus in their life, and to reap the rewards. Once I began reading i couldn't put it down, I live by this book every day!!

This book reads like it is transcribed and edited
from a seminar. It's not hard to read and it is
certainly inspiring.

On stage Howard has a blinding charisma that no doubt
sells a lot of books. My girlfriend bought this book
at a seminar and I read it.

Don't get me wrong - I have been through is Breakthrough
To Success seminar twice and it is very worthwhile
and somewhat deep.

This is basically Howard's story of how he rose from
failure to success by borrowing 30,000 and investing
it in NLP training, building his executive coaching
business through aggressive cold-calling, and finally
breaking out in a big way as a superstar NLP guru.

I don't know enough about NLP to assess whether
Howard's thinking is original or better than Tony
Robbins or Bandler and Grinder. I do know that he
is a master salesman and in his marketing he has
positioned himself as a developer of "cutting edge
inner technologies" - which is an attractive
jargon.

I really like his workshop.

He is friendly with Richard Branson and talks about
the man frequently. While I think he is genuinely
interested in what makes Branson tick - he's also
catching a wave by basking in Branson's reflected
glory.

Catch the seminar. The book is ok. His CD courses
are engaging... the ones I have heard.
