Customer Reviews

SHINE is a powerfully illuminating Classic. A must read!

Larry Thompson exuded so much down to earth warmth and attentiveness on the Dr. Phil Show! I was so intrigued immediately by the title of his book SHINE: A Powerful 4-Step Plan for Becoming a Star in Anything You Do. I had to buy the book. I keep the dated receipt of my purchase to remind me of my goals for "stardom". My new mantra is "find and fulfill your destiny!" I ended up rereading SHINE before writing what you're reading now, and was able to pick up even more information. I highly recommend reading the book at least twice so as not to miss out on any gems of insight, and the book contains many. As a consummate reader of many motivational, self help/healing, and how-to books, I consider SHINE a classic. Creatively and expertly crafted with the humor and vivid illustrations of a natural storyteller the book is an elaborate roadmap to stardom, celebration of life, career workbook, bio/motivational career and success/spiritual life guide, and entertaining story full of gems and quotable comments and illustrating tools like 100 points of starlight marked. SHINE is an analytical distillation of the star-making process, of both material success and spiritual success. I especially like how Larry reminds us that we must be selfish (in a positive way) and make time to act on our goals; that greatness begins with humility, and that God is our Team Captain. Amen. I was excited to read in SHINE that there was actually a support forum on the Project Rise and Shine website, and excitedly joined the Good Luck Club. I read in Larry's book SHINE about the importance of balancing truthfulness and compassion in assessing contestants, and he really projects these qualities he writes about: sensitivity and kindness.

Life-Changing Experience

I was very fortunate to attend one of Larry Thompson's Project Rise & Shine Workshops in Los Angeles. It was a life-changing experience for me. Larry Thompson's heartfelt and engaging book, SHINE, reveals how Talent, Rage, Team, and Luck are the keys to ultimate success. Personal and exclusive celebrity stories accompanied by easy-to-follow exercises make the book and his workshops entertaining as well as instructive. No matter what your profession or desire, Larry shows you how to be the best - how to be a STAR - at anything you do. I know that I'm on my way!

Real Life Application With A Celebrity Spin

So many of the self-help books I read don't provide the tools that I can apply TODAY to make a substantial improvement in my career and life. When I finished reading SHINE, not only did I have a solid direction and road map for how I am going to achieve my goals, I had a whole new perspective for how I perceive today's celebrities and their successes. This was a terrific read from start to finish. I'm looking forward for ways to learn more from Larry and his clients.
