    I had the pleasure of seeing author Mike Robbins at his recent appearance at the Learning Annex in NYC. I left the event impressed by the power of his message and the manner in which he delivers it. I then read this book and felt so good about the message the author is conveying.

    So many new authors and speakers have jumped on the bandwagon of the "Secret" and/or the "Law of Attraction." It is refreshing to see a new star emerging with a unique, basic, implementable message that could change the world if implemented. And, refreshing to see someone who seems so committed to walking the talk!

    Recent terrific books by Deborah Norville ("Thank You Power") and Robert Emmons ("Thanks") have similarly sounded the trumpet for the importance of gratitude, the cousin to appreciation. Mike's book is equally terrific with his strong point being the specificity of his wisdom on how to express appreciation in a manner such that it penetrates the thick skins hardened by a world of negativity.

    I highly recommend the book and I equally recommend that you partake in one of the author's workshops or speeches. As excellent as the book is, in person the author's message resonates even more strongly.

    I have to admit, that I got this book because of my warm and wonderous memories of one of my all time favorite authors of Blessed Memory Richard Carlson. I was reaching for this book becuase of the name that wrote the forward. Hoping to get at least a taste of my favorite author.

    I started reading the book, and was immediately put off a bit. It starts off speaking about sports. Now don't get me wrong, I like sports, but my reading material for "growth" needs to be deeper than sports.

    As the book goes on, I realize that this was not some former athlete writing a few mushy stuff, but a mushy person who happened to have been athletic, this book is a terrific work of inspiration and warmth. You can feel the personality of an author in their work. The book gets better and better with each chapter. I read the entire book slowly and enjoyed it very much.

    It definately was written by a person similar in character to Richard Carlson.

    In today's world where civility, kindness, and generosity have often been replaced by rudeness, cynicism, conflict, and self-absorption, Mike Robbins offers us a delicious and refreshing reminder of the power of appreciation. This book is both beautifully written, and easy to read. It reminds us that happiness is difficult to come by in a "culture of complaint." But the simple act of consciously focusing on what is good, noticing what we have to be grateful for, and offering appreciation to others can magically transform our lives and our hearts. The Power of Appreciation offers a much-needed reminder of the spiritually uplifting experience gained by simply cultivating an enduring sense of gratitude. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

    This relatively short and fast read is a quick shot of goodness that may be just what you need to help you refocus on what is good. Clearly there are many things to complain about but Mr Robbins spells out some specific advice on how to recenter yourself and look at all the great things in life. I recommend this book to any one who needs a little lift and the author did a great job.

    "Focus On The Good Stuff" stopped me right in my tracks.

    The book caused me to have several revelations several weeks after reading it.

    Those are: 1) That how arrogant it is for any of us to complain about our lives!! The unseen forces are constantly working for all of us to sustain and rise the vibrations of our lives and LIFE that is all around us.

    2) And that by taking the focus off what is wrong and focusing instead on all the beauty that exists everywhere, we become enlightened beings--infused with the Power of Appreciation for Everything!!

    This book took me to the next level of my spiritual growth.

    Please read, in-joy and let the feel good vibes infuse your entire body, mind and soul!!

    Mike Robbins is a former professional baseball player. In 1997, he blew out his arm, thus ending his career. A minister's locker room sermon about staying positive inspired Robbins, who now is a busy motivational speaker. Robbins' basic message: People should appreciate what they have and not dwell on the negative. Though Robbins' proclamation that it is better to concentrate on the good rather than the bad makes sense, many of his concepts are just that obvious. This fluffy book is a compilation of feel-good reminders of reliable verities, like the need for gratitude. getAbstract recommends it as a warm, comfortable overview for newcomers to this upbeat self-help genre.
