I absolutely love this book. I think if anyone had to read one book and actually understood and apply everything in the book, this would be it. I can say actually that this is the best book I have ever read and will probably read for a while. Infact it's not a book I will just read. I will MASTER IT and be able to think, talk, act, and live life in accordance to Truth, Love and Power. The intention behind the book was to find the high level principles that underlie all personal development activities. The criteria for creating these principles were: universality, completeness, irreducibility, congruency and practicality. I would like to also add that there is another criteria that you may not have intended but is true and that is your principles are also mutually exclusive. That is, Truth, Love and Power don't really overlap. Although this seems to go hand in hand with irreducibility. I swear you totally blitzed those criterions. The way you wrote it out and explained it all was so good. I swear if anyone gives the book less than five stars they haven't understood the book. The book is very profound. It is explained so well that it is easy to comprehend. To understand the concepts and internalize them take way longer. I have three months holidays so that is ample time to FULLY UNDERSTAND them as much as I can with my current maturity. I am going to connect and immerse myself in the concepts. I haven't finished internalizing most of the knowledge yet but I have been reading and pondering while I am going through it. However it is slowly becoming internalized into my vocabulary and thought processes. Coupled with Franz Bardon, the Kybalion, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn and Orin concepts I have built a decent framework of Truth - the Truth about how reality works and how you can be successful and live your highest excitement. I really don't see how you can top this with another book Steve. Unless you make PDSP 2.0 |

Yeah - the book is awesome. I just started reading it. I think it's affected me more than anything I've read for the past 3 months. That's a quarter of a year! The main benefit I notice is clarity. Clarity and elegance. It gets me clear. That's why I love it - it really is the handbook to conscious growth! |

I really love the book and I can see how Steve is one of the only people in the world who would be able to write such a book. He's got so much history behind him that he has the credibility to produce such a framework on personal growth. | |

I don't really think so. The book is interesting and readable enough, but most of the impact lessons have been taught for decades. I hadn't realised this before as I usually only buy recently published books, but having bought a few older books from as far back as the 1950's I was surprised how well they read today and how much of the same stuff is being spouted by today's personal development gurus. Don't get me wrong, it's a decent book but for me the Truth, Love, Power equations are just unnecessary gimmicks which confuse the message. |
