Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

If there's anyone qualified to write a self-help book on success, it's Jack Canfield, who's worked his way from scraping by as a teacher to holding a Guinness world record for having seven books simultaneously on The New York Times® Best Sellers list.

As a coauthor of the Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, he's sold more than 80 million books, and now lives "in a beautiful California estate" with his days of dining on spaghetti and tomato paste long behind him. "All you have to do is decide what it is you want, believe you deserve it, and practice the principles in this book," he says, and success is yours.

His advice is straightforward (examples: "reject rejection" and "surround yourself with successful people"), but rather derivative, with quotes from the likes of JFK, Colin Powell, Aldous Huxley, and fellow motivation author Napoleon Hill.Canfield's definition of success is primarily monetary, and he includes plenty of anecdotes depicting average folks who saved themselves from the brink of bankruptcy after following his principles. He could tone down the braggadocio; readers don't need to know that he's stayed in resorts in Hawaii, Italy, Australia, and Morocco. Despite those gripes, his cheerleader-caliber enthusiasm should benefit anyone looking to improve their lot in life. --Erica Jorgensen

From Publishers Weekly

When it comes to success, Canfield knows of what he speaks: he is co-creator, with Mark Victor Hansen, of the seemingly endless Chicken Soup for the Soul series. He presents 64 success principles that he claims "always work"—and draws on his own experience and that of others to illustrate them. Sixty-four principles may seem like a lot, but each receives a concise, easy-to-digest chapter that challenges readers to risk creating their lives exactly as they want them. Many of the principles are familiar—e.g., "Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life"—but Canfield has a nifty way of summarizing them ("Reject rejection"), and some are inventive: "Become an Inverse Paranoid" means see the world as out to help you instead of out to get you. He also offers specific techniques, such as positive-thinking exercises and visualizations. A section on transformation provides even more on how to overcome self-defeating beliefs, fears and habits. Further sections offer principles on building good teams and better relationships at the office. Canfield acknowledges his predecessors in the success advice field, such as Napoleon Hill, and is also clear that while he gives information, motivation, and inspiration, readers must contribute their own hard work. Canfield's energy and enthusiasm bounce off the page; many will flock to this inspiring (and very rich) teacher. And those starting off in business or in need of a refresher course may consider this title required reading.

Good book with caveats

ByAhmed Elsharifon June 27, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is lengthy but full of so many life-changing ideas. You can find many of the principles listed here on other books and online resources. The author compiled all these into one book and that makes it worth reading and keeping on your bookshelf.

As much as I liked this book I find the money investment sections to be lacking at best. The author's school of thought is to stick to the 10% long term saving - investment strategy that can take you 50+ years to reach your 1st six figure if ever. For some that might be ok but for high achievers they should look else where for any investment ideas that can propel you to greater achievements while you can enjoy it. The author seems to be out of touch with the current situation of the market and the technology that can speed and the process for any one who has the ideas, and willingness to act and on them.

I didn’t have too much time to read all that I wanted to but I chose some interesting chapters that seems like I could learn for

ByAmazon Customeron October 13, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The book, “The Success Principles” by Jack Canfield was an interesting read. I didn’t have too much time to read all that I wanted to but I chose some interesting chapters that seems like I could learn form and read them. Even though I didn’t read all 500 pages, I learned so much by picking out what I wanted to know more about. This book does a good job of helping you understand what is needed to become successful. A large part of it is just work. My favorite part of this book would be the quotes that are added to the beginning of each chapter. Then it goes on to tell who each of the people are, which is really cool. I made the parallelism between the law and attraction very fast because I think a lot of success derives from that. This book is written in simple English that makes it easy to understand and it has a lot for connections that allows you to see that you can be successful also. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone serious in trying to understand how to be successful.

What a helper!!!

ByAlicia Rangel de Ocanaon December 1, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I really love this book, not only because the content is very helpful when it comes to needing some good tips on being succesful but also because I'm using it with my students (I'm an ESL teacher in Mexico) for their reading comprehension class and it has turned out to be a wonderful tool because of how well written it is. The vocabulary used in it is easy to understand by my intermediate level students, obviously providing them with new words and expressions and a good chance to see how the structures that they have been studying are used outside of a traditional "text book", which I'm no longer using by the way. Now, the principles have also helped us a lot (my students as well as myself). As soon as the students understand the meaning of the "new vocabulary" and idiomatic expressions, we discuss them, express out our own opinions about them and then start putting them into practice. To make a long story short, WE love it!!!
PS. A couple of my students have already gotten a promotion and they tell me that they are sure they got it because they can now communicate in English and they are practicing the Success Principles day after day.

Excellent book but Kindle version FULL of typos!

ByAmazon Fanon July 10, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is an excellent book, content-wise. I would give it a 5-star rating except that the Kindle version has an INCREDIBLE NUMBER of typos! I've never seen such a poorly typed book on Kindle. There are some sentences so bad that I can't even figure out what they mean. I hope the hard copy is not as bad.
