I don’t know why this book is as highly regarded as it is. The first part of it starts off slow telling you in cryptic allusions of all the things it plans to tech you in the chapters to come. Then it gives some pretty solid advice about the power of positive thinking before diving headfirst into pseudoscience. I’m walking away from it with a piqued curiosity for what retraining my subconscious mind could do for me in attaining success, but also with some disappointment. The book’s, shall we just say, unique terminology comes off as a basket full of made up words. The concepts behind these words aren’t well Enough explained before being overused. And, sorry, but when you don’t allow your book speak in concrete terms, you don’t get a free pass to merely suggest that everyone simply needs to reread it periodically to fully grasp its concepts.

The goals are lofty but ultimately his process makes sense. However, the last chapter is the one that may stay with me for years to come.

This book belongs in every executive's library. In it one can find some great nuggets of wisdom; its timelessly relevant thrust, i.e. determination, is key in any career and should ring especially poignant to millennials. That being said, this book shows its octogenarian age, with long sections devoted to what most executives I know would consider ridiculous spiritualism.

Read it, by all means, but do so with the intent of separating the wheat from the chaff. Suffice it to say, this is not the end-all be-all that it was to my baby boomer dad in the sixties. Great book, maybe skim the last quarter.
