4.0 out of 5 stars Becoming More Effective, September 3, 2003

By	Dr. W. G. Covington, Jr. (Edinboro, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Behavior modification is the goal of this book. Changing actions so the quality of life is improved is the bottom line of this book. He tells readers to identify the actions that will lead to the desired results and follow through. Behavior is influenced by words. Putting the right thoughts in one's mind leads to a person taking proper actions. Doing a succession of small things is a more workable goal than aiming at a large change he wisely instructs. Readers are given an interactive plan of action to make the changes easier to do. He goes on to talk about the related nature of success principles, how that success in one area bleeds over for a multiplied effect. William James' often quoted observation about thought following action is included. As a person acts a certain way the feelings follow. To be successful act the part and the feelings will come later. The medicinal value of laughter is presented along with documentation to verify the claim. Readers are reminded that success is a never-ending process. It is a lifestyle that Mandino and others sell in a convincing way. It can become a pleasant, healthy addiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars PRACTICAL, EFFECTIVE, September 3, 2000

By	Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

An easy-to-use practical manual to kick-start yourself towards achievement and life improvement. The wisdom is presented in the form of "scrolls," each of which one reads 3X a day for a month or so while recording your progress in the "success recorder" a little daily diary. My life certainly improved during the course of this programme but I also used other methods at the same time. This one seemed to come to my aid whenever I felt like faltering. Highly recommended, especially for those who need to "do" something besides just reading motivational literature.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Like How This Book Is Changing My Life, March 19, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Greatest Secret in the World (Hardcover)

Og Mandino has been one of my favorite authors for a long time. Last month I decided to "get with the program" and order The Greatest Secret from Amazon.com and apply the principles to my life. Just started to read the second scroll on Monday this week and have already experienced results from the auto-conditioning. If anyone wishes to explode their human potential, I fully recommend this treatment! Of course, please read The Greatest Salesman In The World before using the Greatest Secrets success recorder. Also I recommend The Greatest Miracle In The World to reinforce the potency of Og's work. If you are interested in discussing self-improvement literature and works of similar authors, feel free to drop me a e-mail. So Long, Shawn Guin
