Editorial Review:




Customer Reviews Average Rating:  out of 5 stars
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - if your gonna read a book, read this one

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - C'mon, GROW UP, KIDS!!!

His ideas seem simplistic and shallow (e.g., Personal Legend), while the repetetiveness of certain words like "omen" and phrases (e.g., Language of the World)are laughable. Worse, he seems to believe that "when a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help him get it." What nonsense! On the plus ... Read More
