"This Will Do Us Nicely"

This book and tape are honestly fabulous. Although, as a reviewer states below, it doesn't have recommendations on "how to be a Bond girl" -- that's not the point. The point is that this book has tips that are fantastic for men, but also apply to women. By using James Bond as an example, Paul Kyriazi has found an example that we can easily relate to (or, if we don't remember a specific example he uses, it's as easy as your closest video store to check it out!). I have recommended this book now to clients who want to make a change in their life or business, to friends, and anyone looking for a book and tape packed with really useful "self-help" information. They are usually a little surprised by the title -- until they hear the tape and are impressed by the concise, clear steps that are readily accessible to anyone. Then, of course, I suggest the book -- it has the same content as the tapes, but expanded. The tape is great to listen to in the car for reminders (and to loan out to friends) -- the book is fun to just pick up and "refresh your memory" later. Really just a fantastic, fantastic buy.

Sage Advice for 'Would be' Heros

Having long been a fan of the James Bond movies, I was intrigued by the title of this book. After reading it I was impressed by the sage advice and insight the author provides. Kyriazi isn't saying you should pretend to be a super spy. Instead, he aptly points out the ways in which you can adopt the characteristics that make up a super confident well put together Man. In an unfortunate age of young men being raised by well meaning single moms, we need as a society, role models for men to follow. Kyriazi points us in the right direction, demonstrating that a man needs to be poised, confident, suave, courageous and on the right side of the law. I learned a lot from this book. Bravo!

The Man With the Golden Pen

When I'd first reviewed the "How To Live the James Bond Lifestyle" seminar tape, my one regret was that Mr. Kyriazi hadn't turned that entertaining and informative ninety minute tape into a series of lectures. Well, with "The Complete James Bond Lifestyle Seminar," he has, and it is between the covers of one volume. Unlike most of the 'Think Positive and Grow Rich' genre, Kyriazi is very forthcoming in telling colorfully unrestrained "war stories" from his own experience, which in itself is rich and varied. He was the only movie producer to create a black and white Techniscope film; a costly blunder from which he learned much about moviemaking and marketing his products and himself. Ultimately, he found himself in the cockpit of a Boeing 727, as the sole passenger on a charter flight, being treated like the Very Important Person he truly is. Just like the rest of us. And that, of course, is the secret: To live the James Bond Lifestyle is to have a rich and varied life, to learn from the mistakes you make, learn from the good experiences as well, and ultimately to live the good life. Kyriazi is convinced (and therefore convincing) that anyone can "be" James Bond by adopting some rational thinking, planning, a committment to action, and ultimately action itself, into his (or her) life. Kyriazi throws out the cliches of "self-improvement" books and gives the reader truly practical and empirical advice for day to day living.The central idea of "How would Bond do it?" is easily answered. He'd start by reading Paul Kyriazi's book.

The Complete James Bond Lifestyle Seminar

This book creatively revitalizes motivational literature. Just like the song Nobody Does it Better (theme from the movie The Spy Who Loved Me), the author has achieved the ultimate self-improvement book. The book stands apart from others in this genre because it doesn't saturate the sophisticated reader with unimaginative clichés. Instead, you are instructed to ask yourself, "What would Bond do in this situation?" But sorry ladies, this is a man's book. Although wives and girlfriends will want to put this book on they're gift list for their couch-potato husband, or tee shirt wearing boyfriend. After all, what woman would object if her man learns the ultimate secret of women and makes her feel like a Bond-Girl? The book guides a man of any age into his own unique experience of the James Bond lifestyle, and tools to acquire the cash to pay for it. The author guides the reader to higher levels of health and prosperity and draws from his own experience, Sinatra and even his old mind science teacher to get you there. What makes this book significant is the serious wisdom interwoven amidst all the fun stuff. Every moviegoer knows that Bond dresses well, dines well and does well with women, but what makes Bond so cool under pressure? Chapter 18 guides the reader to clear the subconscious mind. Is it possible to imagine Bond doing this sort of thing? The author adds depth to the two-dimensional image on the silver screen. The reader may learn the secret of how Bond can remain so unflappable in all those scenes -- you know, like when he jokes in the face of danger. You won't get a 00 number simply by reading this book for it's entertainment value. But if you can make yourself believe that you're a cool 007 type of guy, then you can certainly believe in the potency of all your other dreams as well. The encouraging theme of this book is explicitly stated in the movie title: You Only Live Twice!
