Reading gives you access to the wisdom of the ages. If you want to be successful in life, then read books. Read books by many different authors. Above all, read books about successful people. You are not in search of "The Holy Grail" or a magic success formula. There isn't one.I live in South AmericaI Live In Chile. In this country, we have learned to see opportunity knocking, regardless of what form or shape it comes in. We even have a saying for this, in Castillian Spanish: "Lo que uno no quiere, a otro le viene bien." Allow me to translate the Spanish into English: "One man's trash is another man's treasure." It is up to you whether this book will be trash in your hands, or a golden treasure.Let me be clear: Just reading this book is not going to change your life, make you rich or make you happy.  Again, only you can do that. What you must have, however, is fresh, new ideas. You have to do all the rest for yourself, but this book definitely has the potential to help you begin to think differently, to see new possibilities where other people see only impossibility. By the way, that is the story line you will find in this book... Trash or treasure? The answer to the question is up to each individual reader...Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofHow to Coach A Debate Team*****Many thanks to the author for providing me with an electronic copy of this book in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.*****
