Hi Paul, Indeed continuous application seems to be the main theme of the book but like you said it seriously “Kicks Ass” and is well worth reading.

Hey Jonny –

I read the book and thought it kicked ass. Like you said, it doesn’t contain a lot of “new” truths but Rick writes it in a way that kind of opens your eyes and makes you realize that success is not rocket science. It’s just continuous application…I highly recommend the book to anybody who hasn’t read it.

As always Gerlaine, you comments are greatly appreciated.

I’d would be interested to know when you managed to escape for the Rat Race and how you did it?

I hope wonderful things continue to happen in your life.

I love your non-book-review. It was lovely.

I especially love the quote:

“The problem comes when we allow others opinion of success and comparison to become the benchmarks of our own success and happiness without ever stopping to seriously consider what definition of “success” and “happiness” best suits each of us individually. When we do that, we’re seeing the world through someone else’s eyes, playing according to rules we haven’t set, aspiring to goals that others have told us are the ones that count.”

Once I began living to my own rules. And not even creating rules, but flowing with my own life flow. Wonderful things began to happen.
