Customer Reviews

Absolutely Life Saving
This book, and others by Mr. Mandino, have saved my life. This authors unique take on finding the light when the candle has been extinguished is invaluable. I am forever grateful to have been enlightened by his words.

We Need to Remember that We all have Choices!
The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything As a positive psychologist and author of four books designed to inspire, my latest being The Truth (I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything) I am always eager to read other inspirational books. This book is a very interesting read. It is inspirational to get inside the life of a person who is able to stop, re-evaluate and make a new choice in his or her way of living. This is actually, psychologically a very difficult thing to do. It takes much more than a dream to really make a decision that will affect the way you live, work and think about your purpose in life. My only caution in reading The Choice is to remind the reader to not be discouraged in his or her efforts for change, as the protagonist is not the average person. For those of us who are more ordinary, and not already in a big job with power and prestige, I would recommend that you let Og inspire you and then take the time to slowly, carefully and with thought and guidance make the choices that are best for you.

Not Inspirational
This book claims it has a surprisingly new message of hope...it doesn't. Its about Og and how he left his job to write a book...
