Helped me find a morning routine (ritual?)

The book was broken down into bite-sized pieces with easy-to-follow suggestions and habits to add slowly into your life. I now have a workable and buildable morning schedule as well as evening routine to help keep some of the rituals close.

Amazingggg!

This book is definitely top 5 reads and now something i will constantly recommend. I felt like Julian Mantle was speaking to me, he made me want to be better. So much wisdom, and actual guidelines. Highly recommended!

great read

I really enjoyed the book. its an easy read with a great message and outlook on life.

This could be the best advice you'll ever receive from one book.

Enormous amount of wisdom is covered here. I finished this thinking that this is one of the best books I've ever read on how to live in this world. I was shocked at the amount of principles covered in this story. I just wasn't expecting what I got from this. I initially refrained from underlining and marking up my book because I thought I might want to loan it out. So, I took notes. I've since decided that I'm gonna read it again and underline the great parts I want to revisit. Just when I thought this guy had covered most everything, he pulled out even more! This is an awesome book. Okay, the other nice thing about this is each chapter ends with an action summary. I liked how this wraps up each chapter. So, you get the chance to think about what happened in the story, the points being made, and the great thing is it gives you the techniques. I read a few reviews where people were criticizing the story. I thought the story was good, with a few weak spots. But the story isn't the main point, it was just the vehicle to deliver the goods. I loved this book! This is one that I think can definately make a difference in your life. The thing about books like this is, usually people read it once, decide that there is something to it and maybe even make a few changes in their life and a little while later they slide right back into living the way they always have. Reread it, absorb it, and make lasting changes.

Recommended book for everyone!

I read this spiritual amazing well written book. I recommend it for everyone to read. In a way, this book makes you value again all the little (but most significant)things we take for granted in our daily life.

Un Libro Diferente, Mágico
