Brief review: It's a short and crisp book on time management. Most people struggle with time and this book can help. The message is simple, clear and workable. The key message is to focus most of your time on the most important work. I would strongly recommend this book to everyone.

Brief review: The singular message in the book is about the 'law of attraction' which means that our thoughts drive actions which produces results. Therefore, we should harness positive feelings and thoughts inside us which will help us improve the quality of our lives and achieve success. The message in the book is carried through several leading personalities of the world and their own personal experiences. The book has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. When I first read it several years ago, I dumped it as I did not like the format of the book (not user friendly). When I read it again after a few years, I still could not resonate with the book fully, though I could finish reading it. Somehow, the book could not establish a connect with me. I guess there are better books and better ways to understand the law of attraction.

Brief review: James suggests that the mind is the key to unlock all your dreams and achieve them. Truth can eventually free us from our limitations and irrespective of our sex, age, race, education and beliefs; we can make our lives worthwhile by applying the universal principals. It reminds us that our thoughts have tremendous power and what we achieve in life is a direct result of our thinking. A very small book that could be read in one hour. Do read this one.

Brief review: Edward De Bono is one of the best thinking minds on the planet. In this book, he wants us to have 'a free mind' by observing the world around, questioning our own perceptions and to have an open mind. Each time I read Edward De Bono, I feel enriched a little more. A short book but a powerful one.
