THE SUCCESS PRINCIPLES: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be. Jack Canfield with Janet Switzer Paperback – 3 Jan. 2005

My favourite chapter would be ' Act as if.." I put it to action and miracles followed.. This chapter inspired me to run a workshop based on its principles. Today marks exactly five years since and I am thrilled to say that it worked!! I am now not only an athlete but also an author

I am relatively new to the world of personal development, having 'discovered' it a couple of years ago. For reasons I won't go into here, the last few years have been a challenge for me. I have had to face up to some elements about my character that have been difficult to deal with. This book is one of a number from a variety of well-known authors in this field.I have read it once, and I am now slowly working through it again, starting to apply the principles suggested. The book is laid out in a clear fashion, and contains a great deal of useful techniques. It invites you to really challenge your views of the world and your place within it. It goes on to suggest ways to get yourself 'unstuck'.It isn't for the faint-hearted, as it does require some application to read and digest what it is saying. I have found it really useful as a sort of textbook, and I will be referring to it frequently. I found it eminently readable, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Time will tell as to how the content will affect the way I live life, but at the end of the day, any effect and the extent of that effect is ultimately down to me. This book provides the pointers.

Hey everyone you have to read this one if you have not already done so. Fantastic. Yup, we all know that we are responsible for everything that happens and that we create our world, but even I who have been in this sort of business for years had not fully taken charge of myself and realised that I was responsible for everything and that I was not a victim of anyone. By my silence on various issues I gave full consent for the treatment meted out. This book will hit you between the eyes on not only your power but also what you have been allowing to be done. It is full of exercises and plain old commonsense. An eye opener if ever I have read one. You literally will not be the same after reading this. You will monitor yourself and not be afraid to speak up for yourself. Brilliant, mind blowing stuff. As you do the exercises you will wonder why you have done the things you have done and you will see your world in a completely different way. If they had a higher star rating I would have given it more.

This is the first book that I have read by co-author Jack Cranfield and I must say that I was impressed. I'm really into personal development and success story books and I thought this particular book was quite indepth with detail all outlined in the 64 principles of success. It was a sheer joy to read and I always had the urge to carry on reading and not stopping because it really does have a feel good factor to it.The success principles is a book which is well written, easy to understand and digest and very practical. I have taken on many of the principles within my own life, as my purpose was, and I have seen major differences. I will have a second read and really implement the principles of success and see what the real outcome is, fingers crossed.The book has a tendency of over indulgence in respect to the co-author Jack Canfield who constantly mentions the success of his other works which I have not read and how he has managed to get where he is. I guess in some way as they say , if you've got it flaunt it!Overall, the book is an inspirational read with motivational quotes and in my opinion the right principles to succeed in life, although it can feel sometimes that your reading an autobiography.

The book is great! Not only on the subject of success but also on different other areas touched by the author.The principles are structured very well in an organized and following order and Jack recommends starting to work one principle a time from 1 to 64. Principles are not really anything new or magical, they are simply the right ways of doing things in our lives put in a concise way plus tips and very good examples added. The readers could use the principles to remind themselves of the importance of some actions that have to be taken on a daily basis and in a such way to make the necessary adjustments in their way of live.Jack is a great writer and speaker and by reading you can tell that he knows what he writes about. Adding successful stories to the principles helps a lot by inspiring and entertaining the reader and thus making the book really easy and pleasant to read.I definitely recommend that book. It's a very good investment.

Exactly what I was looking for

I have been a fan of self improvement for some time. I found so much informatin in Jack's book that it will serve as a reference book for a long time.The book is well structured and presents considerable anacdotes that allows the reader to relate to te principle being explained. Some of the principles will offer challenge to readers and it is not a simple "do this" and you are cured but rather an explanation of the principle and encouraging the reader to explore and discover how it best works for them.There is much to take in here and the reader intent in uncovering knowledge will gain the greatest reward. Perhaps it is similar to life after all.

I bought this book and has changed my thinking and actions in life, having read the book over 31 days (2-3 principles a day) along with the workbook and online free tools provided by the author, immensely raising your productivity in all areas of your life.
