I am so glad that I was able to read this one. The mind is such a powerful thing. The short stories keep you wanting to read more. Reading the author's own personal story put a lot in perspective for me.

This is a great book! Points you to the important things in life and gives you an easy step by step guide to easily make significant changes to your life and to increase your happiness.

I really enjoyed this book. It was not a lengthy read, and it went relatively quickly once I started. It is not the easiest read at times, since it presents some very in depth information on the brain and how it works. I am fascinated with brain studies and the process of how things work, including the mechanics of the mind and its effect on our long term thinking and feelings. It is truly amazing to me how much of our behavior, beliefs, and more are influenced by our mind. And the author did a great job of explaining it to the reader.

I found the author’s personal story to be touching and I am impressed that he was able to overcome as much as he did. But on top of all of that, it was very inspiring to me to see how he took everything he learned and let it influence his entire life. He made a comment early in the book when telling his story about how he was always pushing himself to do more, achieve more, and succeed in everything and he neglected his personal health. It wasn’t until he was diagnosed with an advance stage of cancer that he rethought his entire life and his actions and thoughts changed. Talk about a testimony! And it is one of great power, truly amazing and inspiring to read.

This is a great self-help book for anyone needing to slow down and take some time to reflect on life and what is going on around them. So many of us live a life that is fast paced, hectic, and go go go, and we forget to stop and enjoy life and just be in the moment. We live in a fast-food mentality
