5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting and helpful new understanding!, February 23, 2004

By	Ann Reeves (Ojai, California) - See all my reviews

Even though I was a huge fan of Blakeslee�s two earlier books, THE RIGHT BRAIN and BEYOND THE CONSCIOUS MIND, I was so excited by THE ATTITUDE FACTOR, I read it in two sittings. This is the most fascinating, readable, and helpful book I�ve encountered in the past five years at least. In my case, this is saying a lot, since I read dozens of self-empowerment books every year as part of my "Time On Your Side" coaching and consulting business (www.AnnTime.com).

I got so excited about one of the techniques the author discusses calls "karate chop will-power" life, with immediate great results. I went on to incorporate it into my seminars and write an article about it that appeared Working World magazine. I've also given a couple dozen copies away to my family, friends, and best clients.

Read this book and apply a fraction of its suggestions and your life will definitely benefit by quantum leaps. THE ATTITUDE FACTOR approach can even help you live and longer, healthier life. (If you�re skeptical about that, you won't be after you read all the scientific evidence Blakeslee presents to back it up.) You'll learn amazing, cutting-edge information on how our brains really work; and this is not information you�ve seen in other books.

THE ATTITUDE FACTOR should be required reading for every active, thinking adult trying to cope in our dysfunctional, hyperspeed society you (like me) have hit midlife and want to make the most of the rest of your time on this planet. I can�t recommend it highly enough or often enough. (If you do read it, I'd be glad to hear how you liked it.)

5.0 out of 5 stars It changed my life!, February 11, 2004

By A Customer

An amazing new understanding of aging that you can apply to your life to keep your youthful attitudes. The "use it or lose it" principle applies not only to your body but also to your mental attitudes. Blakeslee teaches you how to recognize critical moments in your life where using self-control for one second can have a profound effect on your future health and happiness.
Scientifically-proven attitude tests have been found to predict your future health prospects to an amazing degree. These attitudes relate to happiness and having pleasure in your life. Feelings of pleasure and well being energize your immune system and make you live a longer and healthier life. Blakeslees web site www.attitudefactor.com has the tests in a format where the scores are calculated automatically and your health prospects are calculated based on a massive 5000 person 20 year experiment. Graphs of the correlation between attitude test scores and health status 21 years later show an amazing correlation. The highest scorers were 30 times more likely to be alive and well 21 years later!!
I am amazed that this book is now out of print, but would strongly reccomend you pick up a used one if you can.
