Default Is this original

I haven't read the book, but the "rules of purpose" sounded awful familiar. Sure enough I pulled out my copy of "The Portable Coach" by Thomas Leonard (founder of Coachville). The three rules posted are chapters in out that book - with the exact same numbering. I don't know about the rest of the book but that's not original. In doing a search inside on Amazon.com I found two references to Thomas Leonard's Attraction Principles - but none to "The Portable Coach".

Those references are buried almost 200 pages into the book. If he is relying as heavily on Thomas Leonard as it appears, seems like he should have referenced him right up front. But maybe there's a lot more to the book than those 28 principles of attraction (as Leonard calls them.)

Thomas Leonard died a couple of years ago. It would be a shame if this author was taking advantage of that fact.
