I've had this book for at least 20 years and have picked it up and put it down several times with no results. I am now at a point in my life when I am receptive to the "message" of this book. There are four sections to this book and I have completed two, marking it heavily with different color highlighter markers. Most books jump right into the problem solving and tells you what you should do but not why or educating the reader about the obstacles that can prevent success. This book is different. It tells you how and why you feel the way that you do and explains why you've failed to make the breakthroughs in achieving your goals and accomplishments. This book dispels the myths and obstacles that stand in your way and gives you the tools to recognize the self imposed limits we place on ourselves. The second half of the book assists the reader in the implementation of stated dreams and goals. Even if I never finish the second half of the book, I now have the necessary tools that will assist me in accomplishing my dreams and goals. What a breakthrough! This is one of those books that you recognize as gold and even if you don't read it immediately, you realize that it is good to have in your possession just when you are the most coachable. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The writing works. It's not brilliant prose, but it doesn't set out to be. Sher's engaging voice reads like a wise, patient, and compassionate aunt who KNOWS you're brilliant and won't let you give up your dream for lack of good counsel.
Chapters 1 & 2 build the rapport and trust. Beyond that I kept nodding and smiling as she shared her experiences and examples from students in her classes to illustrate each step of the wishcraft process. Instead of banning fear or complaining, Sher honors them as important tools for realizing great goals. The chapter "Barn-raising" is a brilliant study of the value of social capital.
A few lines that reeled me in:
"What I'm interested in is what you love. ... You may have a case of amnesia about it. That amnesia can be so total that you're not even sure anymore what you love." I've spent plenty of time there.
"All the people we call "geniuses" are men and women who somehow escaped having to put that curious, wondering child in themselves to sleep. Instead, they devoted their lives to equipping that child with the tools and skills it needed to do its playing on an adult level."
"Before you can get what you need, you've got to take responsibility for knowing what you need."
"Love your life. ... Be really happy at what you're doing. That's when you're irresistible ... you're cheerful, enthusiastic, and loving."
Instead of purging references to typing or pocket calendars from the original text, Sher simply includes her website www.barbarasher.com and BlogTalkRadio.com credit in her brief bio.
