Overview

The Success Principles™ by Jack Canfield, cocreator of the phenomenal bestselling Chicken Soup for the Soul® series, will teach you how to increase your confidence, tackle daily challenges, live with passion and purpose, and realize all your ambitions. This audio spells out the timeless principles used by successful men and women throughout history. And the fundamentals are the same for all people and all professions -- even if you're currently unemployed.

From learning these basics, you can then tackle the important inner work needed to transform yourself. After this inner work, you can turn to building a "success team" and the important ways of transforming your relationships for lasting success. Finally, because success always includes a financial dimension, you can learn to develop a positive money consciousness along with the habits that will ensure that you have enough to live the lifestyle you want, while keeping the importance of tithing and service central to your financial practice.

Filled with memorable and inspiring stories of CEO's, world-class athletes, celebrities, and everyday people, The Success Principles™ will give you the courage and the heart to start living the principles of success today.

You can listen to this series probably 100x and get something from it. There are so many principles Canfield outlines that you're bound to resonate with a different principle each time as you move through life. Call it chicken soup for each trial, period or effort in your life.

I would call this a life changing book. I loved it. It provides wonderful food-for-thought and motivation enough to get you on the trail of your life-long dreams. I liked it so much, I bought the TWO printed versions, one for me, and one for my 20-something son, who just graduated from college. I recommend this for everyone.

Good and easy to follow. Structure is very good since it is written (and read) using outline format (i.e. Number 1, #2, #3...etc...). After listening several times, I began to "get it." This series isn't one that can be absorbed in 1 listening. In fact, I wish I would have kept it for at least a 3rd listening. At first, most of the information seems obvious, but when actively listening (and taking notes), one can really get a lot out of this series.
