I am a married mother of 3 children, and I got this book last year when I felt very much in a rut with my life (eg "Is this all there is to life?"). I have had this book for a year now and have liked it so much I've given as gifts to many of my friends. I'm not a huge personal development groupie (eg I don't have a whole bookshelf of books on personal development or wealth creation) but I just love this book. It covers such a huge range of issues, from goal setting, mindset, developing confidence, etc that for me, it is the only book I feel I need. It is very easy to read and not too 'wanky' either -- I feel it is very relevant and down-to-earth.

I think this book is perfect for someone who wants to 'kick start' their life, whether it be getting out of a rut, changing careers or trying out new ideas, or just developing self-confidence. It is quite a large book, covering so many topics that it is easy to find ones that relate to you/your situation. I find that I keep it in my bedside drawer to re-read and go over parts that I may need at that time in my life. I don't know -- I just feel like it can 'energise' me when I need a good kick up the arse! :)

Anyhow, I totally recommend it for people looking for an all encompassing self-help/development book. It's great (even those who are 'self-help groupies' will like it!).
