Customer Reviews

Out of Stock!

My local book store will continue to be out of stock of this book and other books by AC Ping because I buy them all! Awesome, easy reading with a clear cut message. If this aint' workin' for ya then I don't know what will! Excellent gift, too.

Be inspired!

This is a great inspirational book to get you thinking about your life and where you want it to go. It makes you peer into your life and think about the type of person you are--and if that is who you really want to be. A.C. Ping (the author) definitely "keeps it real" by writing in slang...it makes you feel like he's a friend of yours. It is an easy-to-read book with a few workbook pages in it for you to write your own thoughts. A great book that shouldn't be passed up!

Be ready for "Be" to change your life

If you want to change your life, "Be" will help you do it. If you don't want to change your life, then you probably wouldn't be attracted to this book in the first place. I like "Be" because it is to the point, non-preachy, written in an almost conversational style, and easy to follow. It provides the basic steps necessary for lasting and permanant change. One must simply do the exercises and implement what one has learned...Great book!

Good Book

This is a good book with a lot of advice. It is only intended to make you think. Be does not offer easy answers. Most readers will complete this book in a couple of hours, however you actually have to do the exercises (which will be more than 4 hours).

Fasten your SeatBelt!!

This is about as in-your-face as it gets. Lots of Buddist and other basic life teachings are put into a "get off your ass and do it now" plan for realizing who you are, your purpose and passion in life and what you want for a eulogy when you die. If you are in the frame of mind to change your life, this book won't help you do it, it will make you do it. It changed mine. It took less than 4 hours to read. So, there's really no excuse.
