Well worth reading, acting upon, and sharing

'This Is Your Life, Not a Dress Rehearsal' inspires the reader to become pro-active about his life and then provides the techniques and tools to change the course of his life. For years I had allowed myself to drift down the river of life allowing the current to control my course. Jim Donovan has shown me how I can take control and change the course of my life. This book provided and provides me with many insights into discovering who I am and the means to become who I would like to be. For instance, after reading Chapter 2, I discovered how I limited myself by beliefs I had acquired as a child. Beliefs that were not true. From Donovan I learned how to challenge those beliefs, those false limits, and remove them. Is this book worth it? Absolutely. In fact, I have given away at least a half dozen to friends. Many read it the same day and called me to tell me how much it meant to them. I have used this book as a study guide for an adult Sunday School class. And I continue to use it on a daily basis.

Direct approach.

I have read enough books on the subject of personal success through positive thinking and introspection, from other authors in the field such as Richard Tosti, Tom Peters, Dr. Denis Waitley, Dr. Robert Schuller, and Wayne Dyer to know what works. Jim Donovan's This Is Your Life, Not A Dress Rehearsal, works. It puts you at ease from the first page. Jim's direct approach and no nonsense style, takes the mystery out of realizing your full potential. If you only read one self-help motivational type book in your life, make it This Is Your Life, Not A Dress Rehearsal, by Jim Donovan you will not be disappointed.
