Worth its weight in gold!

Rich seems to take the mystery out of success that enables anyone to succeed despite current or past setbacks. I've read quite a few other success books written by the likes Tony Robbins, NLP authors, etc., and they are all great, but Rich has found a way for you or me to take those small steps that eventually become giant strides without us even realizing it at first. By making sure that our lives are on their way being balanced Rich asks ourselves some tough questions (that are hard to answer sometimes) but really get the job done. Super salespeople ask the tough questions to their customers, Rich is no different. By being truthfull to yourself we enable the changes to take place that we want...not only on one level but on all levels. Much thanks to Rich for enabling me with the tools for Extreme Success!!!

Uncommonly down-to-earth advice that's easy to put to use

I REALLY enjoyed this book. In particular, I enjoyed its lighthearted, compassionate tone (in stark contrast to the "rah-rah, get-your-act-together, just-do-it" sort of theme that seems to be the norm for most self-help books). I also found it to be extremely reader-friendly, with many wonderful stories to illustrate how a new perspective, partnership, or strategy can be the catalyst for life-changing results. There's not one suggestion in this book that seems too unrealistic or difficult to implement. I understood and appreciated everything the author had to say and finished the book feeling like I could "leap tall buildings in a single bound!" It is really that good!

Do You Want To Struggle, or LIVE?

If working hard directly correlated to creating wealth, then West Virginia coal miners would be the wealthiest guys on the planet.Persistence, patience, finding your "flow" zone and staying in it . . . these are the methods Rich emphasizes to create the life you really want.Whenever I encounter someone who "brags" about not having time, or complains of having every minute of their day booked solid, I think "How sad for them."The purpose of life isn't to work. The purpose of life is to LIVE. I strongly believe that working about 4 hours per day is the ideal to reach for.Whatever your goals, Rich's friendly, warm, genuine approach will help you achieve them. Sometimes the tremendous selection of self-help titles seems overwhelming. But this is for sure . . . you just can't go wrong with this book.

It worked for me

This is a fun and very accessible book. I have purchase several dozen self improvement books and I have found that they are generally enjoyable and informative. My problem is that as soon as I read these books I return them to the bookshelf and rarely put the lessons into practice. This fast reading book was easily digestable on the first reading. However, I also found myself picking it up and rereading parts of the book. In fact, and this is rare for me, I even did most of the exercises. Something about this book inspired me to take action. I am not a exteme sport athlete by any means, but I came to understand that the author uses them as metaphors for many everyday struggles in my life. Yes, some of the ideas I have run across before but this unique format illuminated these ideas in ways I could understand.If you want to change your life, open up to new possibilities, and grow, this book will be very valuable.

Extremely Useful!

Wow! I have read a number of self help books and this is one of the best. To me self help and success are about being happy and fulfilled, not just about money (although money is a definite part of the equation). This book addresses most areas of my life that I am interested in making the best they can be.It has very pragmatic ideas and excercises. It's not just concepts, it's things you can actually put into action. The examples and anecdotes make it easy to understand and fun to read.Some well developed ideas I like included 'you create your own luck', 'if you seek struggle you will find it, if you seek ease you will find it', and 'FEAR Focus Explore Assess Respond'.
