Great Book

This is a unique book that helps one take an honest look at their developmental pathways. Yes, the novel could appear somewhat "cheesy" to some, but one may need to get rid of the self-righteous attitudes that afflict so many people in this world to be able to synthesize this material into practical application. It is a great story that keeps you reading until the end...not unlike many "cheesy" Hollywood stories that people pay many dollars to watch at the movie theaters. It is just as entertaining, but with much more there for those who wish to see it. When is the movie coming out? Thanks Dr. Hill!

Living at the Summit: A Life Plan

As a retiree from the Reader's Digest I thought I had my life in very good balance. Financially secure, sound relationships, and Spiritually aware.Wow, did I learn about myself! The personal mapping, evaluating of long held views, and making the time to see where I really stood, was profound. I cannot recommend more highly that you read and participate in this "adventure." I can only dream how sucessful I might have been had I discovered this in my primary working years.In the past 17 months since I purchased and devoured "A Life Plan," I have read more books than I totaled in my previous 56 years. My relationship with my wife has never been so complete. I look at my fellow man differently and in spite of the downturn in the stock market, I am more financially sound.The best part is that I have now learned ways to widen my path and I am just now starting to really live life. Through "Living at the Summit," I have found my bliss.

The most unique self-help book I have ever read

Living At the Summit is a tremendously thought-provoking, well-written self-help book which offers solid, concrete, and simple principles for living a life of excellence and reaching one's human potential. Unlike any other self-help book I have read thus far, these principles are taught in the midst of a riveting, fast-paced, and fast-reading fiction story that grips your attention from the very first page to the last. I read this book in one sitting and could not put it down! A real nail-biter! Appropriate and entertaining for teens to seniors. Everyone can identify themselves in at least one, if not several, of the characters in the story, so it teaches in a personal way. Definitely to be read - and studied - more than once, with a bibliography included for further study, if one desires. This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in breaking out of a life of mediocrity. Kudos to Dr. Tom Hill!

A Book That Will Change Your Life

I have read many many self-help and personal development books. After reading "Living at the Summit" I would have to say this book ranks in the top five books I have read, based on its ability to help me change my life. This is a book that you do not read just once. You read it over and over and gain more insight every time that you do. It propelled me to take action in my life in a way other books could not. The "novel" format was offbeat and had me wondering for a long time when the story was going to "getting around to helping me". Needless to say, it did. You find yourself associating some of your personal traits with those of each of the characters in the story. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is searching for a better life, a better path to follow. In addition, your study is not complete until you follow this up with the "Living at the Summit--a Life Plan" which is your workbook for putting your life in order, just as the characters in the story did. If after reading this review, you have more questions, I would be happy to hear from you. My e-mail address is: jackiemj00@aol.com. For the first time since my "life search" began, I have written goals for my life that I am excited about, thanks to Dr. Tom Hill and Associates!

Great Story-Great Wisdom

I have read many books on the subject of personal growth but "Living at The Summit" is the most Powerful! The story, which is filled with mystery and suspense is well worth reading, even if it didn't contain the personal growth component.When the reader has finished the book a Great Story has been told but more importantly, they will be on a path to make their life more meaningful. The reader will set and achieve goals that in the past have eluded them. They will finally be able to make their dreams come true.I have given this book to my wife and we are jointly working on our 18 and 36 month goals. If you would like to make positive changes in your life and to accomplish things that you have given up on, this book is a must read.
